Sober Month 10 (Day 326)

Really didn't sleep very well last night either. Not sure what's going on. I feel dragging tired when going to bed, but when I go to bed I'm wired for sound.

I was surprised to see the weight on the scale this morning. I stood on it several times and it gave me the same number four times in a row, so it is probably accurate. At first I was impressed with the 3.2 lb (1.5 kg) drop, but what got me really excited was this was the weight that was the lowest weight of 2024! All of 2025 I've been wanting to get down to the lowest point of last year. Now to see if I'll be able to stick to that low of a weight.

The Absolute Idiot messed up the Financial projection again. Last night I had told it that all of the dates seemed to be a day ahead. So it corrected the date...but it didn't know that correcting the date meant that it wanted to have all of the future dates. So it didn't know how to do anything after November 15th. So it corrected the projection but while it was thinking about correcting the code I had to go to work. When I got home from work I had to have it regenerate the code again because when I registered the spending for the day the damned thing recorded spending for the day, and then put the new totals in for the day before making a projection for the future. So it was basically doubling spending each day. It seems to be taking a really long time to generate a code where it doesn't double every input that I put in. and lol it just said that the latest form of the code is too long to copy/paste and it will have to be downloaded as a file to be uploaded into Google Colab.

Today really blazed by I was actually the supervisor the entire day so I was “actually doing my job” as I like to joke when I'm scheduled to be the supervisor the entire day.

There was a bit of a glitch in the matrix style Déjà vu (well, Déjà vécu if you're being pedantic) because of the guy threatening our coworker and the coworker having outbursts at him management had me write up a formal statement of what I saw. I had forgotten to set up the slow cooker with the chuck roast that I was wanting to make for dinner, so I had just written an “R” on my left hand and the backup customer service manager was working in the desk. What was freaky was I am certain that exact combination has happened at least three times before. At least this time I wasn't the person that had the outburst. I'm not sure that they'll let me have too many more of those. And although I don't think that either of the associates were in the right and need to be reprimanded I do think that the person who has repeatedly threatened harm to others should get a harsher punishment than the person who yelled at him.

There was a moment of frustration this afternoon. Next week is Thanksgiving and they still haven't released the schedule for next week yet. I felt like I was interrogating the backup customer service manager to have her tell me what I'm working next Thursday as Grandma is sending me texts reminding me that I'm invited to her house for Thanksgiving. 

When on my lunch break I grabbed a couple boxes of Mac and Cheese to go with the Chuck Roast because that was a bit of a small roast. I also grabbed an onion, some garlic, and some butter to go into the slow cooker with the roast.

The roast came out kind of tough. It tasted good, but it was kind of hard to chew. Probably because I had it in the slow cooker on high for 4 hours. Technically a way to cook that roast, but they work better lower and slower. 

Tomorrow I will have to try to think of something for the lunch plan for next week that I'll buy on Tuesday. Which feels strange. The last several weeks just feel like a couple of days.
