Doing Stuff

I logged into work today. The first time in almost a month. I’m not actually allowed to work because I’m still on leave, but I needed to find out what I needed to do to in order to both go back next week and to get paid.

All of the paper work has been filed. All of the forms have been submitted. We are good to go on Monday.

I had to drive to the clinic to get a form that I already had. Don’t ask, it’s kinda silly. I learned a terrible truth. Traffic on route 495 at 11:30 am on Thursdays is indistinguishable from Sunday mornings. I swear it was like experiencing life in slow motion. Everyone but me was moving at 2/3 speed. It was frustrating as hell.

Once I was back in Methuen I had to go to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled. That’s when the 2/3 speed traffic morphed into 1/3 speed. It took 17 hours* to get through the center of town.

I tells ya, I do not miss commuting.

*Slight exaggeration.

Slow Motion

I feel like the universe is moving in slow motion tonight. I stayed logged in to work to monitor something. I’m not actually working, I just want to keep an eye on things until it finishes. Three hours past quittin’ time and counting. Come on, go faster.

As noted in the previous post, I am setting up a new MacBook Pro. I loaded up the most recent backup from my old MacBook Pro (from about 5:00 this evening) and it took hours and hours to finish. Once I finally got it up and running it prompted me to take a MacOS update. Ugh. 42 minutes still to go…..

Slow…. Motion….
