  • Uh Huh...

    So, this "back" thing obviously hit a few snags with my not posting over the weekend. I think the last time I posted was either Thursday or Friday. Not much happened since then: all I did over the weekend was clean up a bit (okay, a decent amount) and watch YouTube video game playthroughs. Yeah, I know: regular social magnet I am. That's what happens when almost all of your people leave and the one who's left doesn't like going out. I did see Maryam Nemazee on Al Jazeera, which is always a win. She's got to be one of the ten most attractive (famous) women in the world. I'm not into the "video model" types, even though I was friendly with one for a while. I'm more into newswomen: Maryam, Richelle Carey, Tamron Hall, Melissa Knowles, Morgan Radford, Anne Marie Green, Reena Ninan...yeah, that list could go on for a long time. I think tha...no, I know that's why I watch so much news. Hey, I pay attention and stay informed so it's a win-win. If a man's on, I flip to something else. There are enough attractive newswomen that I don't have to watch a newscast with a man.

    At any rate, yesterday was a normal Monday. Some crazy guy left 38 messages on the office voicemail. Guess who got to spend 2.5 hours listening to them? Put me behind a bit with other stuff, but I was able to catch up. Almost had a conniption when I thought I lost my thumb drive - which is crucial for the night hustle - but I found it on the second go-round. Got out of there a little bit early, but was tired so I basically went to sleep.

    Today was a little smoother, although I had to light into someone - well, as much as I could - for not returning something on time. Funny how those closest to you can be the least considerate. It's not even a personal thing: it affects others more than it does me, and I think that's why I'm relatively upset. I can make do, but to be unfair to others isn't cool in my book.

    Caught up on Gotham and now I'm waiting for SHIELD and Finding Carter. Looking into Avengers for next Thursday, but only regular shows are available at 7. I don't like 3D (hate the glasses) and the only IMAX show is at 12:01, which doesn't work because I have a long day in front of me next Friday. Guess I'm checking out a 7 show...on one of the seven screens that will be available. There are four more for 3D.

    Tomorrow should be alright: just got to finish up some night hustle stuff and...I think that's it. Oh: tomorrow is admin professionals' day. Since I've been pushed into the admin prof world, I guess this means I'll get the customary gift card and day off. Might use it and the floating holiday to partly comprise taking a week off around my birthday. The thing that's holding me back is the amount of money I'd spend going home. It seems like a YOLO moment and I would like to correct some of the things that went wrong last time I was home, though. We'll see.

    I've noticed that my appetite is coming back, and not a moment too soon since I'm going to get back under the bar soon. It'll either be tomorrow or Thursday: I just need to figure out a schedule that won't get interrupted next week, since I work out after work and there are after-work things...ah, got it: I'll start back Friday. It'll give me a chance to do some pushups to get back in the groove tomorrow.

    Got to figure out why there's this cloud of unhappiness over me, though...and how to get rid of it. If I need to travel to do it, I'm in trouble.
