Ramblin' Man

And now I have to wonder....

Was there ever a Monday that didn't suck balls in some way? I mean, the odds are there must have been. Especially across more than 5 decades. They can't all have been irredeemably horrid. Right?

[Aberzombie]

Ah, f$#k it. Ain't much that can be done about it anyway. Might as well except the inevitable sucktasticness of Monday and move on.

[Aberzombie]

I had a pretty decent drive to the office today. There is this one wretched person with a glittery license plate who drives like a maniac (and coming from me, that's saying something), but I've gotten much better at ignoring people like that.

To be honest, as long as someone doesn't slow me down, I don't care if they get ahead of me or not. And as long as they don't make me catch a light.

[Aberzombie]

Watched Dredd last night. I have it on physical media, but decided to take advantage of it being on HBO Max. This way, the sound was better.

[Aberzombie]

I keep telling myself to get speaker set for the TV. And I keep putting it off. Along with so many other things.

[Aberzombie]

My arm was really sore most of yesterday and into the night, thanks to that damnable tetanus shot. It's feeling a bit better now, though. Maybe a good night's sleep did the trick. At least somewhat.

[Aberzombie]

Anyway, time to go start another wasteful week (and get paid for it).

[Aberzombie]

Interesting. I was just reading where that K-Pop Demon Hunters movie, which has been streaming on Netflix since June, just made $18 Million at the domestic box office this weekend. This was the limited engagement sing-a-long event. I kept teasing my wife about putting the idea in my daughter's head that she wanted mom to take her.

[Aberzombie]

Hmmmm....

After months of ignoring the "check-in" meetings he set up, my supervisor suddenly set up a new meeting for this Wednesday. Just one meeting. Not sure how I should take this, but it does leave me slightly uncomfortable.

[Aberzombie]

Ah well. Not much I can do to make him happy anyway. There's too much other stuff stressing him out.

[Aberzombie]

Happy Tuesday?!?

[Aberzombie]

Doubtful, since I'm in the office.

[Aberzombie]

At least I had a semi-decent drive to the office. Despite a few big rigs picking the most inopportune time to get in everyone's way.

[Aberzombie]

Although I do at least have a nice training session to put on my timesheet for today. It's technically a lunch and learn, but it goes on for an hour and a half, which is more than we get for lunch.

I don't actually care about what the session is covering. It's electrical stuff. Still, it could be useful to learn.

[Aberzombie]

Otherwise, I'll be doing what I've been doing for most of the past few months - assigning myself various specs and standards to review.

[Aberzombie]

My wife had the dog out in the backyard yesterday, and a squirrel ran along the side fence, towards the back fence. So, of course, the dog chased it. As the squirrel got to the back fence, the dog did not quite slow down enough and....well...the fence had a hole I needed to patch.

[Aberzombie]

At least I got a humorous Book of the Face post out of it.

[Aberzombie]

Anyway, time to finish up things here, then move on to another glorious and exciting day in the office.

Woohoo

[Aberzombie]

Well, the training lunch and learn we had today was more interesting than I thought it would be. Certainly, somewhat lively, as we had plenty of people asking questions and engaging.

Plus, there was pizza. And even though it was Dominos, free pizza is always welcome. In moderation.

[Aberzombie]

And I had a sit down with my supervisor. Nothing much on its face, but I'm fairly certain there was more to it than he was willing to admit. He claims there's more work coming down the line. I shall, as the young kids say, "press X to doubt".

[Aberzombie]

I've been going out of my way to be quieter and more restrained here at work. According to my supervisor, some people have noticed. A few of them apparently even thought there was something wrong with me.

I mean...yeah there's something wrong with me. Lots of somethings, if I'm honest. Probably has been for years. That's something else altogether though.
