Sober Year 1 (Day 376)
Keto Day 6

The wind is going absolutely crazy out there this morning. I saw a clip on Facebook of another town their power lines are sparking as they sway in the wind. Praying that their (an our) power stays on.

Coffee pot decided to give up the ghost this morning. That and some of the videos that I've been coming across about how caffeine blocks some nutrients kind of makes me think of getting back to the roots of this blog. When I started this it was to be a “Decaffenation” blog (lol the spell check wants to correct it to “Defecation”)

Roommate let his dog out of his bedroom, but he didn't come downstairs. I went ahead and took the dog out because Dog was whining pretty hard at the door and I didn't want him peeing and pooing everywhere because Roommate didn't come down to let the dog out. But even after the dog was let out he kept whining a lot. I think the howling wind was scaring the poor creature.

When I got to work the wicked wind switched to blowing snow. It was fun as I'm pretty sure that yesterday got up to 75 degrees (24 C) and today is nearly a damned blizzard. The frustration was when the carryouts would offer to help people out (the word “whenever” doing heavy lifting there as they'd barely doing their job) people would just say, “Oh, Honey you don't need to go out in that horrible weather!” But the problem there is if no carryouts go outside to get carts all of the carts end up outside because nobody is coming back in with the carts that are going out. And I feel guilty telling carryouts to go out in blasting snow to collect carts, but it has to be done. Hey, at least I didn't have to have them clean up human waste.

The day was one of those days where it was either SWARMED BUSY RUN RUN RUN! Or completely dead. When it was dead I'd stand around with my hands folded behind my back. I also kind of paced around, One of the guys working the desk said that I looked like Stalin pacing around with my hands behind my back like that. I don't have the mustache game to pull of a Stalin, but I do have the hairline for Lenin though...he didn't know who Vladimir Lenin was.

One of the self checkout registers was glitching and acting like people were withdrawing an extra $20 for their purchase even when they pushed the “no cash back” button. I cleaned off the screen of the card reader a couple of times and rebooted the register, but had to buy something to test to see if the register was working properly. So I did pick up an energy shot just to make sure it was working. I guess I could have picked up a Powerade (not sponsored), or some kind of snack food instead, but the energy shot was closer and had the habit behind it.

I think that all of the children had too much Christmas Candy as everybody under 5 foot tall (1.5 m) was screaming like they were being tased. But it might be the massive shift in the weather freaking them out as well. 

Since the car is so low on gas I decided to have lunch at the store. And bonus there was a digital coupon on the Johnsonville Smoked Sausages (not sponsored) out of habit I did pick up a can of Sugar Free Monster to go with. But after lunch my left foot felt like it got clamped in a vice. I remember having pain problems after eating those sausages before. I think that might be a sign that those might not be a good thing to fall back on for lunch when I don't have on available. 

The guy running the service desk as confused as there wasn't a closing spreadsheet for this week. That's when I remembered that I am the one that usually sets up the weekly closing reports for the year. I have to say that the store's computer program is designed by a psychopath. There's not copy/paste options, there doesn't seem to be a "save as" option, there's no drag and drop options. The only way that I figured out how to update the spreadsheets for the new year is to open the document, update the date on the spreadsheet and clip the "download and save a copy of this spreadsheet" it would save that copy, but I would have to repeat Ad nauseam for all 52 weeks of 2026, and then go back through each document to make sure that the dates were saved correctly becasue I didn't want it to be the middle of August or something and get a frantic phone call at 9:15pm with somebody freaking out that the Spreadsheet for the week of August 15th has dates for December in it (example)

I probably would have taken half the time to do it if the guy running self checkout didn't insist that I let him out to use the restroom. Which he spent like half an hour in the bathroom. I really expected him to comeback to the front and say that he threw up. That wouldn't have been the first time.  But he insisted that he wanted to go smoke, and that took another 20 something minutes and then the cashier on the regular register said that HE wanted to go out to smoke which took a really long time as well. 

When I got home it was quite cold outside, but at least the wind calmed down. So I decided to grill some hamburger patties as I really didn't have anything in the fridge planned out for dinner. I was kind of disappointed when after cooking the patties I found that I didn't have any sliced cheese, but the shredded cheese seems to have filled the spot alright.
