Weight was up a little bit this morning, but within the normal fluctuation range. Kind of to be expected with the amount of salty food and drink I consumed yesterday.

I forgot to mention in yesterday's post a customer noticed that I was losing weight and asked me for my secret. I told her that I was focusing on Keto, pretty close to carnivore as I don't expect people to recognize the term “Ketovore” and she sneered at the idea of doing carnivore because supposedly her ex-husband was doing carnivore and he was just going around drinking glasses of blood. I don't know of any vampiric tendencies in the carnivore community, but for me I just stick to the meat. She just shutdown any conversation about the subject as she was convinced that carnivores just go around drinking blood.

Before work I was able to bake some bratwursts for lunch. Mom was in the kitchen as she had just revived some beets and was working on pickling them. So I did kind of feel like I was getting in her way while she was trying to work on her project. I knew I wasn't, but there was still that idea. Mom was jamming to classic rock all morning. It was good to see her energized again, she's been kind of been getting a lot of drama over the last couple of days.

Wow today was crazy busy. There is a promotion for 4x Fuel Points (not sponsored) on Fridays and wow a lot of people were taking advantage of that deal. And the supervisor that they had at the store was a lady who just never reacts to anything around her. She had to repeatedly be told to get people to do the cleaning checks and tell people to go out to get carts. She voiced a frustration with me that nobody seemed to respect her as supervisor. And to be honest I can see why they feel that way. She was still in charge so I tried to back her up. But I was in the service desk for most of the day and I had to keep jumping on a register. Even when I was we just didn't have the help.

It was kind of strange when I got to work one of the self checkout lanes was down. What was strange was the monitor was blank, but the mouse cursor was on the screen. So it wasn't that the monitor had gone out, it just didn't want to run the software. It was called in before I came in so I didn't mess with it too much. But then after the technician left after fixing it the hand scanner on the register stopped scanning anything. That register was called in again. And then one of the regular registers hand scanners also stopped scanning things. The scanner would beep like it was scanning, but the register just wouldn't ring anything up. 

At lunch I enjoyed another jar of queso with pork rinds. I don't think I'll be doing that too often in the future. It is a good combination, but a little too good of a combination so it's probably not good to have an entire bag of pork rinds and and entire jar of queso with 5 sausage links for lunch too often if one is trying to lose weight.  

There was an interesting game announcement they are making Fallout 5. They also announced that they're remaking Fallout 3 and New Vegas. I'm just really tired of them announcing remasters, and remasters of remasters. It would be interesting to see the next installment of the Fallout series, but somebody pointed out that they had announced the next Elder Scrolls game (The Skyrim series) over 8 years ago and it isn't expected to come out for another couple of years. So probably shouldn't hold one's breath about any actual NEW games coming out anytime soon.
