    My paycheck was a day late. Why do YOU think it was late? Anyway, I'm not late on Rent, which is kinda a big deal, but I missed my weekly DoorDash, because I was not sure when I would be paid, Meaning I am going to run out of bottled water. which sucks, because I will have to buy some water at Walgreens prices and whatever they happen to have stocked...:shadedshu:

    I swear I don't mean to bitch on here, I have to be more mindful, it's Winter I am already going nuts! It's only been cold for 2 weeks, and I am already consciously aware of my head space, sad. I am hoping they open the ice rink, down the street. they haven't had it up since 2019. I hope I remember how to skate!!

    Anyway, time for bed, another 12 after wakeup! Good Night TPU!!

    Off to bed. It's been a crappy day. Today was Pay Day, not for me!! Some others on my crew got paid, not me! This fricking company is so full of crap, we were told there was a glitch in the pay system, but all moneys have been directed to us and that the posting of our pay is up to the bank we have. BS at it's stupidest. I am so ready to get a lawyer and sue this fricking company.

    I picked up a shift on Wednesday, it'll be overtime for 8 hours. So, that means I will be up late tomorrow evening bringing boxes down for recycling, I have to break them down first and then tie them with some twine, so I can bring multiple boxes at once. Then get up early Thursday, shower and get ready for Thanksgiving with my Sister and Brother.

    I am off to work, I have to man the control room, since we are short handed, again. Oh well, it is what it is, I guess, not a lot I can do about it. I am not in charge of hiring. Anyway, it's a cold one today, 31 F now and going into the teens, later. Got to make sure I have my hat!! LOL

    Wednesday was a weird one. In my last post I wrote that I was going to eat a pizza and go to bed. what actually happened is, I stayed up until 5 am, did not eat a pizza and woke up at 7:30 am. I went and got a coffee and my package. Stayed awake until 1 pm and took a nap. woke up at 4, got dressed, again, and went to the store and to the bank and to the Post office.

    Store went well, Bank was closed and the Post office had 2 packages. I ambled home, opened the packages, ate the pizza ( that was previously planned) and had a 2 fingered drink of tequila ( it has been sitting in the cupboard in a corked bottle with a charred oak piece in it, for I don't know how long. It was good). Around 9 pm...

    I was falling asleep in my chair, I was playing RAID and woke up several times to the battle being over, start another and wake up to it being over. I shut down the computer and went to bed. Slept straight through to 10 am! on a normal night, I am up 2 to 3 times to pee. Last night, 12 plus hours, did not get up at all! It was the most rest and the best rest I have had in years! I feel great!

    I am ready for today! I am going to get to the bank, I have a check to deposit ( $20 the parking ramp sent me, since my motorcycle is in storage until spring, for the damage deposit), I am gonna go to the diner, I have 2 NEW books, now, to read. Then tonight, I will start some laundry and continue it on Friday. Then Saturday it all starts over.

    Work week is done, I hope. Just got home and I am going to cook a pizza, watch some YT and then go to bed. I have to get up in the morning and retrieve a package from the Amazon Box at the Hotel, down the street. So, a relatively early bedtime for a Tuesday night So, this is Goodnight TPU! Until then...

    Gonna get ready to roll! Going to the local diner, again (Thursday ritual). I need to get ready, shower, shave and such. I might bring a second book to read, I think I might be near the end of the one I was reading. Either way I am going to get at it, Now!! :toast:

    If you see a pretty girl, put the dang book down and go talk to her. You might have fun.

    The only pretty woman around that diner is the waitress, she's happily married and has grandkids, now. We flirt a bit but it all in good fun. Plus, I am mostly fed up with women, nowadays most of them are thinking they're all that and the kitchen sink. I have no time for women that aren't gonna be on my team.

    Just sayin. You can't find her if you don't look. I been reading your posts for a bit. You sound like a man that could use a bit of fun. Wine, women, and song are a pretty good start. You do your thing.

    Lazy day today, so far. I am now going to get dressed and go to the store, maybe stop at the coffee shop and then, IDK. Probably fix something to eat and maybe clean a little, do a load, or two, of laundry...nothing to special or strenuous.
    Arjai
    Gotta get ready for another shift, then hopefully some time off. Not sure what the rest of the week looks like but, that's ok, I'll figure something out! LOL!

    My Veterans Day was spent working, again. Maybe, someday, I will have a Vets Day off (while not working for a bank). Being a Vet, I would like the day off but I also need to keep my current job and not call in sick just because I want to, I am speaking to a coworker when I say that. Anyway, Good Night TPU!
    Arjai
    I have to try and get out of the house. My usual Thursday involves going out to eat and read. I need to shower and shave before I go out ,though. I need to get out of this funk and get on with it. Alright then, I am off to shower and get back to some semblance of normalcy, if that still exists? :twitch:

    Normal never existed. It's always been a cosy word used to express 'average'. Are the few days off getting to you? You've gone from working 37 hours a day to having free time. Must be a system shock..

    "Normal times" do exist, but it's better described as "nonturbulent." Right now we live in "interesting times."

    Yes it is hard some days, but you have to keep going.

    I voted, got up at 8:15, wrote myself a note (local judges) and hit the door at 8:45. Stopped on the way, just a few block walk, and picked up a coffee. went to the polling place, Landmark Building, voted and walk home in a misting rain. Sat around, then went to work.

    Work went well, no idiots. Then at shift change I thought I was all ready to go, catch the bus/ go home. Nope, had to make a pit stop, and it threw off my timing. I walk 5 blocks to catch the bus home and because of construction, it drops me 4 blocks away. Normally, it drops me off a half block away.

    Anywho, I went to the hotel bar, had a beer, they were closing up, talked with the bartender a bit, then down to our Office. Sat there for another half hour and then went to catch my bus, but an hour later ( also, the second bus takes a longer route home, adds @10-15 minutes ). But I made it home, flipped through some Youtube and now it's off to bed!

    Got to work this morning and realized my uniform needs a cleaning so, got home threw it in the wash. Now, it's going in the dryer and I am going to bed. Good Night TPU!! (another 12 hour shift in the morning!)

    Yesterday, I went and picked up my new glasses. Today, I walked to Key's, in the rain and cold wind, only to find they had closed early for Halloween. :( So, walked the 1/2 mile home, freezing mybutt off. I was still hungry and wanted to sit and read somewhere.

    After a half hour of warming up, I decided to catch the train to Lowertown. Waited 10 minutes for the train, it was late, and got to the Lost Fox around 4:45-ish. Got a coffee, sat down in a comfy chair and started reading. After a while I ordered a burger and fries. Left there around 8:30 and walked home.

    That was another .3 of a mile. The wind was mostly blowing from behind me so, wasn't too uncomfortable. Plus, I had put on an extra layer, to stay warm, when I left the second time. Came home and watched 'The Mechanic Resurrection'. Now, off to bed, early, Gotta get up early-ish and pay rent, in the morning. :lovetpu: :sleep:

    It was a good day, I hope you all had the same!! I missed the rain but, bike got sprinkled on while I was inside. I just dried the seat with my bandanna, and then stuffed it in a pocket, for the short ride home. The bandanna is normally used in cold to cold-ish weather to protect my neck from wind chill. Today it worked as a motoseat dryer.
