Have read all, retained little. Am coming off the tail end of a string of very long irk shifts that seemed to involve … ya know what? Murphy’s Law. Doubled. One of the worst parts is, a lot of the B.S. didn’t - or shouldn’t - impact me directly. Circus; monkeys, yanno? But it threw so many people off their game, and effed up so much physically around the store, that _my_ ability to do my job(s) was tanked. Plus everyone was stressed, so extra pissy drama, yadda yadda. I started the day so excited (they gave me keys! imma open all by myself and prove my worth!) and as soon as I pulled up my heart already sank. Then I walked in, and _woah!_ W.T.F and it went downhill from there. The details are relatively mundane unless you’re super interested in how _not_ to handle restaurant minutiae - I dunno, might vent in workplace BBQ Pit (ha! the irony). > [@Chefguy](#): > > Woke up feeling like a sack full of assholes with the good ones picked out I genuinely hope I remember to use this one. ---

**shady** , re your last post of last week: crab Rangoon has always been sweet when I’ve eaten it. Spicy (but not the ramen packet like yours) sounds like it would be good though. **VanGo** , one of the things I always look forward to at the end of a big project (like the one just completed) is futzing around in the studio, cleaning up and doing some organization before beginning on the next project. It sounds like that’s what you’re doing too. 🙂 Welcome back **wiki**. I hope that you aren’t quite so creaky soon and Irish does a bit better. The jewelry projects sound interesting. **{{{wordy}}}** That sucks about the credit card **Mooooooom**. Irked, came home, walked Nelson and et. According to Nana, the dad is in outpatient therapy now and Jim goes in tomorrow for the big snip (she’s having him done a few days before Molly so’s he’s not too rambunctious when she gets home). I took her over some smothered chicken, rice and cabbage last night for supper, given that she has her hands full. Stay safe and healthy y’all! ---

**Shoe** , I bet the bosses are saying, “Woah, her first day with the keys and she handled Murphy2 like a damn pro! We’d best double her pay right now, lest we lose her to the competition!” Well, prolly not, exactly, but keep today in your back pocket for when you talk turkey with the Powers That Be. ---

All the more reason to stand up for yourself! Start writing stuff down: This is what happened \> This is how I handled it. Then if they try to blame you for something, you can confidently and _calmly_ say “Well, actually…” ---

**red** I’ve definitely got a lot of organizing the shop to do once this thing is done. And I’ve got to figure out what to do with a ton of oddly shaped plywood cut-offs. There were so many triangles. A buddy of a buddy makes tiny houses and he needs scrap for corner blocks and gussets, maybe I’ll give him a call. Hate to just throw it away. **shoe** You got this. Be excellent to and for yourself. **overly** Glad that mom is doing better. **sunny** I am actually remembering to eat. I dropped about 15 lbs during the first 2 weeks of working way too much, but seem to have reached a plateau and kept steady for the last 2 weeks. Speaking of eating, the timer just went off on my dinner. ---

> [@swampbear](#): > > and I learned how to turn the flashlight on on my iphone. Go Me! Why I did not already know how to do this I do not know. I remember how excited I was when someone showed my how to do that! It was years after I started using a smartphone. Wonder what else I don’t know? 🔦 I love the “Find My Phone” feature equally much.

**shoe** , I concur with **BBBoo** on **Wheelie’s** advice. If they are going to consider it your circus, then you damn sure need to be tracking the monkeys… **flytrap** , nice to see you around these parts again. Don;t be a stranger (well, at least not any stranger than you normally are…) **red** , that Nana knows how to take charge. Good on you for providing supper for her. Dinner was a Big Bowl of Sallit that I didn’t have this weekend for some reason, so I’ll eat greens at least twice this week. Got my park walk in, just as well as it looks like rain all morning tomorrow. Now to pay the water bill… All y’all take care. ---

As I sit here KU and NC are playing for the national basketball championship. And not quite three hours ago, while sifting through one of my mom’s photo albums I came on a photo taken In Lawrence Kansas, in 1988. It was from the KU victory parade, in which my dad was driving one of the KU players in his convertable. I was in Michigan at the time, so I didn’t see the parade myself, but Dad was thrilled to be in on the parade. ---

DH was talking to the bird and the cat (who’d been peacefully snuggling with me) started fussing at him for his attention. Pet sibling rivalry is such fun :). As far as dogs cleaning up after the cats, about standard (grew up in a combined pet species household). I totally love dogs, but yeah, the furry Roomba bit can be pretty gross. Likewise the “litterbox crunchies”. ---
