I took some allergy tablets, it is interesting how quickly those take effect (affect?) I do have to wonder how much of that is placebo. Does placebo work if you know it's placebo? Brains are weird. But it is a very strange feeling when the eyes dry up and sinuses drain out. I was too busy this morning paying bills, balancing and rearranging my budget to cook the goulash that I was wanting to. It was a bit annoying to see that it was already 10:15 by the time I was done paying and moving things around and I had to work at 11. so All I had time to do was cook breakfast and get ready for wo...

Sober Month 5 (Day 164)

It's June now and I'm still fighting against writing "April" in the title in each post. 

Used up the last of the bacon this morning at breakfast. I'm glad that I have bacon on the shopping list for the week. I was excited last week when I did the inventory and it looked like I had enough Lunch and Dinner components to not have to do grocery shopping this next week. But I'll have to buy more Bacon, Eggs, and Seltzer. And there is a Digital Coupon on Bratwursts (not sponsored) this week and if there's a coupon on something you have to buy that thing right?

Had a weird feeling as I was going into work. It was like a light floaty feeling. Have you ever had a heavy sobbing cry? Just wept out a year of emotion? That's the only way I could describe it that light feeling you get after a deep deep cry. I didn't feel sad or down. Just kind of a light floating feeling.

First half of the day people were really wound up tightly. Nobody seemed angry or upset, it just felt like I needed to walk on eggshells to keep the environment from exploding

Something that is kind of fun that I'm trying not to get too excited about is that on Sunday my Grandma is turning 80 years old and Mom is throwing a big party for her so I had requested it off. And as I have 5 weeks and 2 days of vacation time I had put in for a day of vacation. Looking at the schedule for next week I was glad that they had honored the request for being off. But I was a bit disappointed that it looked like they hadn't put it in as a vacation day as I have the Sunday and Tuesday off but I work five days next week. As I had put in for a Vacation day it would have been logical to have a third day off. So I was a bit disappointed that I was working five days next week. But then I took a closer look at the schedule for next week and they did give me the vacation day. They just also scheduled me for the regular 40 hours. So it kind of looks like I'm going to be paid for 48 hours next week. I thought about asking Management if they were really wanting me to have 8 hours of overtime. But then again, I better not tell them a goddamned thing. I'm not really sure if I want to say, “Hey, are you sure you want to pay me extra?” They're going to be GRUMPY at me for having so much overtime. But I'm just working what I was scheduled. And I'm going to be closing a couple of nights next week it's not like I can guarantee that I can dip out early. I'm not going to budget having the overtime just yet. But it is a fun idea to be paid for an extra day of work.

And talking about overtime I am scheduled to close the Desk several times this week. And closing the desk I always get out about 10 minutes late. It's not intentional I just can't get out any earlier. For example this evening I was done with all of the reports and all of the closing procedures, by 8:30. The desk closes at 9. And a good number of people seem to know that the desk closes at 9 because people started streaming in at 8:45 and started having me do the things that made me start over on all of the reports again. I started getting into a really long, “Mark Whines About Work” post about that. 

I did have to buy the Velveeta dinner (not sponsored) for Supper this evening, but the Ground Beef was on the meal plan for the week. It was just that the Velveeta dinner was the easiest thing I could think of to do with it. And I was felling a bit nostalgic.
