Nobody is ever going to accuse the Federal Government of being overly efficient. When I moved in the beginning of April I filled out a change of address form. When I filled it out I asked the lady if I filled it out with my first name that might cause confusion as I usually go by my middle name of Mark. She said to go ahead and fill out the form and just put Mark in quotations and that should make everything clear. Then last week I received a letter from the post office addressed to “Mark” acknowledging my change of address. I was meaning to go to the post office to ask if that applied to my first name as well. I haven't updated my drivers license or car registration yet because I'm sure they need some mail that proves that I live at the new address and the drivers license and car registration is in my first name I feel like it would make for a hard conversation to convince them that I really am who I say I am even though the letters are addressed to the wrong name. Then last night when I got home I received another acknowledgment from the Post Office with my first name on the letter. That's government for you, have to keep it complicated.

I don't know what got a hold of my head last night but I was writhing in pain when I went to bed last night. When I fell asleep I did sleep all of the way through the night. The head was still a bit sore this morning, but it was more like a residual ache. So whatever was happening last night seems to be clearing. I am writing that part in the morning so we'll see how it goes during the day. I wonder if the headache was from dehydration. As I drank the coffee this morning it faded more and over the day each time I drank something it went down more and more.

Another record weight for the year. Or at least I think it is. The scale flashed 305.9, and then showed LOW BAT. I'll have to get more batteries today. Still can't find the tape measure. I'm thinking of just buying a new one, but I know as soon as I buy another one I'll find the one I lost. It might not be a bad idea to buy a new one anyway one of the ends of the old one is starting to come off.

I was in the service desk all day, but I wouldn't have minded being a carryout today as the weather was perfect for it. I would have loved to be outside in the mid-sixties with the heavy clouds. There was a lady working in customer service that got irritated at me working the desk with her. She is technically a new hire, but she had worked at the store before. When she worked at the store before it was her second job and she decided to just stick with her job at the prison. I'm not sure why she decided to come back to the store. She seems to be a bit more irritable than the last time she worked at the store. She insisted that she knew what she was doing and she didn't need me “breathing down her neck” as she was technically a trainee, but she knew what she was doing. I had to explain to her a couple of times that I wasn't doubting her abilities to work at the desk it was just I was scheduled to work the desk as well. I wasn't training her or holding her hand, I was just the other person scheduled to work in the desk.
