I think the dog tried to snag something from the dinner table last night. I heard a noise out there, and when I went to investigate, she was laying on the floor. Usually, she'd either greet me standing, or be laying on the sofa.
Then this morning, as I was eating some toast, I noticed quite a bit of dog hair strewn across my end of the table. Suspicious. Very suspicious.

I had a good meeting with my supervisor this afternoon. He's starting to do these regular meetings with the engineers. In this first meeting, he was talking about getting to know us better. That mostly applies to the newer folks. Though I did manage to sneak in a joke about liking long walks on the beach....

On my drive home, I had a chance to turn right while the folks perpendicular to us had a turn arrow. Unfortunately, the little douchenozzle in the Tesla who was just in front of me realized this and temporarily stopped just short of me being able to slip past him.
To be honest, I expected it. It's the kind of behavior I see a lot from people who drive the car du jour. I suspect someone offers classes on how to drive like a butthead.

Lord knows it could be cool if they could get Star Trek away from that dreck Kurtzman. I lost interest in Trek under his run, especially with those godawful films. I remember the original series, when they had such awesome writers as Robert Bloch, Theodore Sturgeon, Richard Matheson, and (of course) Harlan Ellison.
So much good writing.

The best part of the meeting last night - I was finally able to resolve a mystery. I typically take pictures of the scout handbooks when I need to enter rank advancements and merit badges into Scoutbook. When I do this, I write the name of the scout at the top of one page, so I know who it is.
I had some pictures on my phone with no name, and it was driving me mad. Finally, last night, a scout came up to me wondering why his stuff hadn't been updated in scoutbook. I compared his handbook to the pictures on my phone and the mystery was solved.

Speaking of good.....
The dog has been suspiciously well-behaved the last two days. My wife thinks she's saving up the Badness for something monumental.
Aaaaaannndddd…..The Badness finally emerged. I knew she couldn’t keep it locked away too much longer. This time she chewed up and old Thomas the Train bowl. We’ve probably had it for 12-13 years.
It was inevitable. Like Thanos.

Despite not having to drive to the office this morning, I still plan on having a somewhat craptastic day, but we'll see. I've still got to leave early (just not as early) for my appointment at the cardiologist office. And for that I have to fast for 6 hours.
The no coffee part is the absolute worst.

Anyway, I'll make sure to bring some water and a snack with me for when I finish the test later this morning.
Then I get to come home and work. We're trying to get a package out today, and I left the designer with a bunch of redlines. Some of them were previous redlines he completely ignored. I'm not pleased about that.

I set an appointment for the boy to get his passport at the Tomball post office. The appointment isn't until the end of February. I tried to get an appointment at two different nearby libraries, but apparently you can only book those so far in advance, and neither location had ANY open appointments for the next two weeks.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that government services are so incompetently slow.

While in the shower this morning, I realized I had forgotten to take my medicine. That's something I typically do just a few minutes after I first wake up.
It got me thinking about my current reliance on the pharmaceutical industry, just be able to function normally. I didn't have much choice in the matter, since a thyroid malfunctioning isn't something you can cause by lifestyle choices (at least, not as far as I'm aware).
I can't fathom why someone would choose to be a lifelong customer of the Big Pharma. Yet current events in parts of the world show there are people so willing.

I suppose. I'm still not feeling well. That's from a combination of aftereffects from the test yesterday and the baby aspirin my cardiologist had me taking. I was taking it but now have stopped, each of which presents its own unwelcome results.
It's one of those damned if I do/damned if I don't situations.
