I Made some Free Time
Apr. 30th, 2019 10:14 pmI've been away from typing about my life for so long that I felt I should go to the office and make time.
Well to be fair, I also was working on the laundry, which was 8-10 loads at least. My laundry bag, which has been with me since my college days, was filled to the brim and basically built to handle anything god intended which is the most amazing thing about it. At this rate, I might give it to my college bound progeny in testament to its immortality. This may sound silly if it wasn't for the fact that I've also used it to store a rice cooker and several books in someone's garage for a time.
But enough about my awesome laundry bag, how about that real life stuff that I kept saying I would write about? How about:
Wedding
We met the photographer the other weekend. I mostly wanted to meet the guy to see if he was real and what his interests were. Surprisingly, I got someone with a very stiff personality like myself. Good god, I'm not alone. I think seeing someone like that made me feel comfortable with him as a choice as a result, though.
I just emailed a list of food to add to the list and some beers as well as some questions on clarifying how many centerpieces we might need.
Work
Has been kicking my butt since one of the people I am covering for is still not back. They should be tomorrow. Please come back faster!
Gaming
The D&D people were complaining about SJWs and whatnot between their anime talk. I feel a little slimy, but at least they had fun with the game despite me not catering to this awfulness. Sigh, I don't miss being young and edgelordy.
Otherwise
I cooked for the first time in awhile this weekend. Most of the sugar is gone, but so are my weight losses. I even forgot to buy dandelion greens with me, electing for arugula. I'm going backwards!
All that and I was patting my own back over getting some more clearance gelato. I'm a lost cause. You're welcome to save me from my deal hunting by coming here and eating my ice cream and some breaded pork chops in the coming weeks.
Despite that, I think the salads I'm eating are still fairly healthy, so there's that.
Did I mention that we looked for fiddleheads this week? Nothing so far, but the melting allowed us to see some awesome waterfalls in otherwise freezing weather. One of my coworkers (whom I will refer to as the Mooch for obvious reasons as you will find out) overheard Michelle talk about our desire for fiddleheads and got all tiffy about us harvesting because of signs warning about it. She told her that it was around Burlington and it was because people have been overharvesting them. Then she talked about the dangers of eating foraged food. I thought it was a bit funny because she tends to forage our office by eating whatever candy we offer to other coworkers as a common courtesy without a single sign of appreciation. Not even a thank you! She sits right by me, so that may be why you don't normally see me mention her. She also has this tendency to try to control the conversation to be about whatever is important to her. Yes, she's one of those people. Sociopathy, I'm telling you...
Anyway, so tired. The person I've been backing up is coming back soon. Then I will find some peace. It's already midnight. Peace shall come soon for six hours. Lovely, lovely, peace...
