Sorry I was out of commission for what, 10 days now? Last week was absolutely HELLISH at work. I probably can’t go into a great deal of detail, but here’s a vague recounting.
On Wednesday and Thursday, I was scheduled to work 8am to 8pm shifts at an offsite location, so on Tuesday (we were of course off for Labor Dabor on Monday), I went in at 8, stayed until about noon, and went home to rest up for the long shifts. At 6pm, I woke up and returned my boss’s call, and discovered that Things Were Broken. (Understatement being the hallmark of all great writers.) So I went to work at about 7pm, and went home at 7am. The offsite work was pushed back about 8 hours, so somebody else covered the 8am to 8pm shift, and I got there around 7:30pm Wednesday and stayed until midnight Thursday night, getting two short catnaps of about 15 minutes each.
The best part? I got home around 12:30am, and then was so revved up that I couldn’t sleep. I finally passed out around 2am and slept until noon, blowing right through my 8:15am blood donation appointment.
It was quite a lengthy week, although to be honest it was almost all technical, problem-solving type of work. I rather enjoyed it, since I spend the bulk of my office time doing paperwork and attending meetings and checking Fark for NSFW links to email to myself for later viewing at home.
I have mucho more pics of Nathaniel that I hope to have up soon; HW loves her new car; we had a party last week at which Things Got Out Of Control; and we are doing some rearranging of things at the house which will involve me building some shelving in my basement office, so I might take some pictures of the progress and share with you the agony of trying to do woodworking while being as dextrous as an acoustic ceiling tile. Wish me luck.
You can forward your NSFW links to my email, thanks dude…
