What a Day

This morning has been the toughest month in years.

Tomorrow is going to be worse. A lot worse. Wednesday will be tough, though mostly after work. Same with Thursday. Friday and Saturday? Nuckin’ Futs!

I need a nap. I need to go to bed early tonight but we all know that won’t happen. I will get up ridiculously early tomorrow too. Same with the next day and the next day and the next day.

As crazy as it has been, and as crazy as it will continue to be in the near future, I am good with it. I am ready for all of it. It’s going to be rough, but it’s also going to be worth it.

Bring it on, babie! Bring it on!

Okay, Robert. Back to work with your bad self. You have stuff to do before the day ends!

Cinco de Stress-o

Looks like Cinco de Mayo is going to be a painful experience at work. More like Cinco de Stress-o. Two customers with huge issues popping up at the same time. Lots of conference calls, all booked at the same time, and all right in the middle of my lunch break. Looks like a protein bar kinda day for ol’ Robbie.

Happy Friday!

Long Day

Didn’t I write something not long about about not writing about work anymore?

Work has been crazy for the last few days and today is no different. Lighten up, universe. So much stuff going on. All reasonable and handleable (is that a word?) but damn, gimme a break!

It’s Loki night. Harry is coming over and we’re going to have hamburgers for dinner and watch the new episode. I haven’t a clue what’s going on in the story but I’m totally into it and can’t wait for work to end so that we can all watch it together. It’s only going to be six episodes and tonight is episode three. Marvel didn’t prepare us for this. We wanted TV series and we’re really just getting movies spread out over a month or so. Okay… I’ll take it.

I really need to get my eyes checked. I don’t know if there will be time this weekend, but I have to do it soon. Jen got a pair of glasses just for use with a computer. I think that’s a good idea. I wanted to get a pair of reading glasses to go along with my progressives. Computer glasses is pretty much the same idea. I want to be able to use the whole lens when I know I’ll be doing up close viewing. I want sunglasses too, but that’s asking too much.

I really want to have a band practice.

Okay. Lunch break is over. Back to work, red head.

My brain is Mush

The last two days rank high on the list of most insane days I’ve had at work over the last 16 years. Just nuts.

Today is my father’s birthday. He had surgery. It went well. Happy Birthday, Dad!

I need a drink*.

*I don’t drink

Is This a Bad Sign?

I was running around like a nut today, all kinds of busy, getting stuff done, meeting deadlines.  My mind was wandering and I really wasn’t paying attention, but when the thought, “it’s been a long day” popped into my head I had to stop and assess the situation.

I looked at my watch.  5:50am.  I had literally only been awake for 50 minutes and I was already thinking that it’s been a long day.

That is a bad sign, right?  I am in serious trouble today, for sure.

At least it’s the last day before a long weekend, and the kids are at our house for the whole thing.

Bright side, babie.  Bright side!

Friday

It’s Friday morning, just after six am. Everyone’s favorite work day. The weekend is almost here, and it’s going to be a busy one.

Kids stuff tomorrow. Karate, band, some other stuff. Errands like food shopping and unclogging a drain in the bathroom. It’s time to start raking leaves, but I think I can delay that a week. I need to buy clothes, my last good work shirt lost a fight with some spilled buffalo sauce the other day, and I need a haircut. Sunday means my band practice, the last before our next gig. There will be more errands, and I want us to be able to eat dinner together before I leave for practice.

It looks like a very busy weekend for me, but it’s the good kind of busy. It’s busy doing things with my family, mostly. That’s the kind of busy I can get behind.

Long Week

It hasn’t really been a long week.  Monday and Tuesday flew by.  I haven’t had one of those days where it was Wednesday but I thought it was Thursday or any perceptive weirdness.

I’m just beat.  I haven’t slept well in a while.  Last night was okay, but I feel really worn out today.  I’m coming down with a cold or something too.  On a side note, a big bird just buzzed my window.  That was kinda cool.  What was I talking about?  Oh yeah, I’m just beat.

I have a headache and a stuffy nose and all of that good stuff.  I’m trying to figure out if I can take half a sick day this afternoon.  I have a meeting and some other stuff this morning that I have to get through first.  We’ll see.  I’m really looking forward to this weekend, but I’m not looking forward to Easter.  Don’t misunderstand, there’s nothing pissing me off about Easter, it’s just that it sort of doesn’t exist for me anymore.  I’m not looking forward to it because, for me, it’s not really there.  There will be baskets for the kids and all of that.  I took care of it yesterday.  There is no band practice for me this week.  Not sure about my step son, his might still be on for tomorrow.  No school activities (until early next week) and no commitments outside of the holiday.  The potential for peace and quiet is actually pretty high right now.  Throw in some melting snow and it sounds like the perfect weekend.

Busy Day

Today was one of those days that started off busy and got busier as the day wore on. I’m still feeling sick, but I’m a little better. I was pretty run down by the time 5:30 rolled around. It’s good to be home. The only way it could be better is having the love of my life home with me, but that can be said about every situation I’ll ever find myself in for the rest of my life. It’s always better when she’s around.

Not sure what I want to do with my time tonight. I’m thinking of just sacking out until bed time. I’m feeling pretty beat. At least I can sort of breath through my nose now. That’s all sorts of win.

Could be a Fun Day

Last night after work I got a text asking if I could cover for a site that was dealing with a big system failure.  Sure, I said.  They were hoping to have users back on the system at 8:30.  Works for me.  By 10:30 my phone hadn’t rung so I was feeling optimistic.  I should have known better.  The phone rang at 1:30 this morning.  By 2:30 I was told I could go back to bed.  That was good then, but not now.  Some of my co-workers heroically worked through the night, but difficulties persist.  That leads to Robbie and his group having an interesting Friday.

Oh weekend, you are so close yet so far away.  So much stands between us.

Nothing

This seems to be another day with no time to post anything. Too busy for bloggin’ and too busy to have noteworthy things to electronically discuss.

Let’s force one through then.

The Bruins play the Kings tonight in L.A. Why does the time zone have to be such a jerk and make the game start at bed time. Stupid humongous continent.

There’s yer post kids. Hope ya’ll enjoyed it.
