Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Ok, Daniel and I made it to Fergus Falls. We spent some time with his mom then stopped at a grocery store to get some distilled water for his CPAP on the way back to the hotel. The Hustle comes on over the loudspeaker and I was alone in the aisle. I was born in 1970.

You know what I did.

Then a woman walks past the end of the aisle and says, "Awesome!"

I said, "It's been decades since I heard this. I had to!"

She replied, "Best thing I've seen all day."

Regarding lap swimming and water exercise, last weekend when I got ready for aqua Zumba, I heard thunder after I had my swimsuit on. Today? Getting ready to try out the hotel pool? I hear thunder.

That sounds like a lovely visit, Scrappy.

What was in the work air on Thursday? I got word that all staff must approve their timesheets online before supervisors approve them. The problem with that is, if staff approve their timesheets, supervisors cannot do things like fix missed time stamps, add PTO, and add shift differentials. When I pointed that out to my boss, my great-grandboss said, "You always have the best questions!" But gave no actual solutions. So two days before the end of the payperiod I had to round everybody up, explain what I had been instructed to say AND why that was BS, fix all their time sheets, have the ones who could, approve their timesheets. Then since Friday was the last day of the pay period, on Saturday morning I had to come back in, fix the timesheet of that night's overnight staff, have her approve her timesheet, and then approve everybody's timesheets myself. What used to be a 30 minute task now takes hours across three days.

Nevermind, I'm on vacation.

Gud, you work so hard. I hope you feel good about what you accomplish.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tomorrow, clean & weeding.

This should be my plan, but I don't feeeeeeel like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just did like five minutes of weeding (the yard is small and was just re-done a month ago) and another five minutes of sweeping (mostly cat scratcher bits) and feel better about my life. There is still actual cleaning to do, but that was the most egregious stuff.

Our wings are not tired.

I heard thunder after I had my swimsuit on. Today? Getting ready to try out the hotel pool? I hear thunder.

With the summer storm pattern I have been doing a lot of swimming in the rain. Lots of thunder all around me. For me it is refreshing and cooler than without rain! As long as it isn't pouring where I can't see I am out there.

Happy Father's Day to the Buffista dads.

DH is working on painting the boat and he has some torturous programming to do. Torture because he isn't a programmer and we don't have anyone right now to do what we need done. We do have an afternoon outing with the kids and Tate's parents later. Bowling then going to a German restaurant so schnitzel and beer can be consumed by those into it and I scoped out the menu and they have a berry filled salad with fish on top that works for me.

I desperately need to weed my yard. I've been putting it off.

Later I get a haircut! And then am deciding if maybe I'll go see Oceans 8!by myself.

Late to the party, but Sophia, I would argue that it is not a transfer, it is a promotion, and the salary for that job is commensurate with the market. If you were applying off the street, you would get the salary, so there is no reason for them not to give it to you. Not to mention the money that they save by using an internal hire.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Did a rather longer run than I planned -- I missed my turn in the woods. So, 6.6 miles instead of 5. But whatever. Except now it's 11:30 and I haven't done anything today (except run). Hmmm.

Happy Father's Day to all the Buffista dads and dad-figures.

Coding and Sleeping

Thanks. Looks like my Father's Day treat will be deciding what I'm fixing for dinner. Once I get the laundry started, I'm off to the grocery store to pick up supplies.
