Sorry it wasn’t what you planned

Tgifff! Although I wasn’t pleased to come into work and find this waiting for me. My department lead could have left them in the box they came in but now I have to deal with coming up with a way to store these. 🤦‍♂️

I wish. When I started here a long time ago, they kept trying to win the “best places to work”. Recently, they’ve stopped trying and even don’t mention it anymore.

The last time they entered, they never told us how we scored. Coincidence? Probably not!

In other words: time to find a new job and leave this crappy workplace that doesn’t value its workers.

Thank you, current-place-of-employment. Your recent policy changes and selective enforcement of policy changes for those “favored” departments, along with the constant failures of restroom facilities and other things, have done wonders to illuminate the “exit” door to a better job.

It’s interesting from the other perspective. :)

It is too early today to do work stuff, especially when “work stuff” is mostly undefined today. At least it’s quiet today and the MAGA zealot is out.

And they’re still a fantastic live band - highly recommended! #thumpasaurus

End of the Night by Thumpasaurus on Apple Music Song · 2021 · Duration 4:04

When I first heard this song, it stopped me in my tracks, so to speak. It is still one that resonates with me on an emotional level.

It’s a challenge to keep going some days when I feel like I’m fighting against the current. The phone call with family this morning didn’t help at all.

To end the day, went and saw this with friends. I enjoyed it but not the headache and other assorted pains I’ve accumulated thru the day that accompanied me home.

Such a great lyric to go with a fun song. :)

Killing time until meeting friends for dinner while trying to keep the mind calm.

Glad to be part of it. :)

Dear Apple Music, don’t know what happened last night but your algorithm is a bit wild and missing the mark by a wide margin. Were you drunk when you compiled the New Music playlist? Hopefully you can get better by next Friday. 🤣

Fingers crossed for you! :)

It’s a rough outlook for me today after what has been a bruising week of negative thoughts and depression. So, I’ll yell (type) into the void and expecting nothing.

Saw Spamalot at the Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco. It was definitely needed to cheer me up after the last week of challenges and depressing days.

Tickets for Melanie C secured - now; do I also want to get a ticket for Hemlocke Springs? Yes. Will I? Not sure - starting to stretch a bit too far…

I know things change and I shouldn’t expect the world to stay the way it is, but come on! Maybe ease up on so many big changes in a short time.
(I’m also pretty sure I shouldn’t complain, I have things better than a lot of people which makes me feel bad for complaining.. and so goes the spiral!)

It’s hard not to be self deprecating. It’s a failing of mine. :(

I’ll try to get back to it. Hope I can remember the controls and story. :)

Not surprising, knowing my habits.

Thanks for the reply. :)

Ah. I got partway thru the first and screeched to a halt due to being distracted by other games and wasn’t motivated enough to go back to finish it.

Compared to the first one?

I finally got a chance to attend a show of The Moth. I have always appreciated their broadcast on my local NPR station, KQED. It lived up to expectations and my try to go to a StorySLAM it if I can make it work.

I received an email alert that Melanie C is coming in concert to my area and I’m lo-key excited. 😊

My day today is brought to me by the letter L.

“You and Forever” by Bleachers is worth a listen as well.

Yesterday was a fun evening with friends until the people in front of me arrived. We saw The Blake Works presented by the SF Ballet. My view was blocked for about half the stage and they wore enough cologne to make my eyes sting and water. The performance was great tho, from what I could see.
