Work work work

All I talk about is work. And how being gone for a week is going to put a hole in my life. Well it will, work does that. Don’t you wish you didn’t have to work sometimes? Think of all the great things you could do instead. Except we’d be very poor and it's hard to do much of anything without any money!

I had to wait and wait for computer use this morning. My time is already limited but my son had come home from work late and was still on the computer in the morning when I got up. That happens every once in awhile but the rule is that he must get off and let me have my paltrey little time before work. I like to post, then go take my shower, come back and read as many blogs as I can (usually not very many) and then finish getting ready and leave for work. But today he had to finish up something so I showered first, and have to quickly write something and maybe have time to read a couple of blogs. And you wonder why I’m not very creative—at least that’s my excuse!

Monday was a busy day, we shipped out over 50 Fed Ex boxes. It took the poor Fed Ex guy an hour to check them all in with his little clicker machine and then cart them down to the street. But I didn’t have to pack them all myself, for the first time in years we hired a temp to come and help. She’s coming back today to help us too. I worked eleven hours with no break or lunch and was pretty tired when I got home. Still haven’t packed or done a couple of things I need to do before I leave for an entire week. Vegetable Man wanted me to come out to the farm one of the evenings before leaving, too. I have only three evenings left!

I was going to do my bills last night but spent most of yesterday figuring reimbursements and the presenter’s checks. So by the time I got home, all I wanted to do was read blogs! I scrambled some eggs with onions, garlic and cheese and that was dinner.

We got paid and I received a windfall on my paycheck, got a bunch of overtime. I need to trim down the amount I owe for this computer. I’m glad I bought it but it was a big expediture. Also need to get my vehicle fixed. In only a couple of days there has been three things wrong with it, two new ones since the driver’s door won’t open. I did stop at a repair place on the way home from my Mom’s on Sunday but they were almost closing and couldn’t take in any more vehicles. And yesterday I called the repair place that’s only a couple of blocks from work. But they are booked up until next week and next week doesn’t work for me as I’ll be out of town. If they have a cancellation in the next couple of days, they will call me. Otherwise I’ll just have to wait until I get back and have it fixed the last week of October.

There’s still so much to get done that I really feel I’m running out of time! Hope you have a super Tuesday
