Know What Sucks?

I made it through the episode of House of the Dragon (HotD) without falling asleep. Probably because it was riveting. That’s all the review you get out of me. This is a spoiler free zone. You’re welcome.

Now that the episode is over I can shift my focus onto something that seriously sucks. What to know what that is? Want to know what sucks?

Tomorrow is Monday. The weekend is over. That sucks.

It’s 10:41pm. My alarm is set for 5:00am. That sucks.

The good news is that the project for work that I needed to get done by last Friday was done on time. That’s nice. There is nothing hanging over my head when the work day starts tomorrow. That doesn’t suck.

My two days in the office this coming week will be Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday will start in Foxborough. That sucks.

Want to know something that’s crazy and unbelievable? Well, crazy and unbelievable for me at least? I am less than three weeks away from the 20th anniversary of me starting to work at the company I work for. It’s going to be my 20th hire-aversary. That doesn’t suck, but it is crazy.

Okay. I am going to spend a few minutes watching film photography YouTube channels and then I am going to sleep, if I can.

Have a good night, everyone. Talk to you in the mornin’.

Mondays Suck, But We All Knew That

Yup… Monday… blah.

How’s everyone doing? Did you have a good weekend? I was sick all weekend, but it was okay. My step son was here. That was awesome.

I feel a little better today. It’s been the cold from hell ever since last Tuesday afternoon, but today I feel like I am starting to come out of it. I’m still stuffy and sneezing and coughing, but not nearly as bad as I was. I still don’t feel well enough to be comfortable going into the office. I think this week will be Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe Friday. I only went in once last week because of being sick. Maybe I’ll go in an extra day this week to make up for it. We’ll see.

The kitchen remodel will hopefully officially come to an end tomorrow. The contractor is coming back one more time to hang some shelves over the new tile. That’s the only thing left to do, though our dishwasher is acting up. It might be shitting the proverbial bed. Nice timing, eh? Get the kitchen remodeled and immediately have to buy a new appliance. Yeah, because we have money for that! Sheesh! Is the universe trying to tell us something?*

Okay. I need to blow my nose, read some work email, and then make lunch. Hopefully you are all having a good Monday even though Mondays as a rule suck. That’s okay though. Mondays sucking is not a surprise to anyone who lives in a place where Monday is the start of the work week.


*No, the universe is not trying to tell us something. It doesn’t give a shit about us one way or the other. Why? Because it is not sentient in any way. It’s just a universe. It’s just a really, really, really big collection of stuff. It doesn’t have feelings. It’s not intelligent. It’s just stuff.

I Don’t Like Mondays

Raise your hand if you like Mondays. I’ll wait.

I suppose there are folks who work weekends and have Mondays off who might like Mondays. For the rest of the working world? Mondays suck.

I am about to have a tough couple of days. I am not going to say I left a project until the last minute, but I may have left a project to the second to last minute and now the clock is close to running out. Shit. I had been doing so much better with planning and scheduling and not letting myself get tied up in things that keep me from what I need to do. Things have been weird this month. Let’s blame it on that, m’kay?

There’s not much else going on today. Here’s hoping for a burst of professional productivity. Happy Monday, everyone.

Hit it, Max.
