I have zero interest in going to work. As usual. I guess.
Ashlee is on her way home from a night with her sisters. I guess I’m happy for her. I dunno. Mixed feelings.
The kids were up before they were supposed to be. Guess I’m hiding remotes again.
I’m feeling kinda useless.
Did a bit of work yesterday, but feel like it was wasted, as nothing came of it. The Sebring is dead, and is about to be sold for scrap; that’s the wasted work I did. Finally tore into the bottom and measured things; numbers are all over the place, so she’d need too much work and money out of us. Her body ain’t in the greatest condition anymore to justify that work, either. Maybe she’ll find life as parts for someone else, but I doubt it.
My back hurts.
I’m kinda glad I did the work I did on that car. Now I can stop thinking about it, and not have it on that list of crap I need to do. Instead, I’m probably gonna start thinking about my Durango and what I can try next on getting it repaired. I can’t remember where I was on it, other than needing another hundred bucks worth of transmission fluid.
Honestly, I think I should probably give up on that thing, too. I dunno. Maybe I’ll surprise myself and figure out what its problem is. That’d be nice, because I’m growing more concerned about driving the pickup as much as I am.

Don’t have any time to do a WordPress post this morning; I’m in at work at 8a instead of 9a.
Thought I had a few more minutes to do something, but had to throw together a roast in the crock. Not a complaint; looks like one, but isn’t. I just thought our menu/work timeline was running differently this week.
Store takes inventory Wednesday.
I need to find my travel mug. I keep taking coffee mugs out to the truck and leaving them.
Well, reckon it’s time to go.

Well, it’s a day.
Helped swarm home freight (mainly candles). Now helping swarm stationary. Stockroom is packed with stuff they pulled down from top steel.
Definitely agree with the rest of us “old timers” that scanning things slows you down. Seeing a bunch of associates do so, and watching them meander about. Funny; I just called myself an old timer, when I’ve only been here two years. I guess I’m just a better stockman than a lot of others. I hate saying that, because I’m honestly pretty lazy, myself.
I dunno.

Watched a few episodes of Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun. Violet hung out and watched with me. It was cool, I guess, but I kinda wanted to watch alone, because I didn’t want to get into watching something with someone else.

 

My left arm is aching a bit. Pretty sure it’s me finally feeling the jolt I got from falling yesterday. (I had crawled under the truck to go after a Dr. Pepper I dropped. I attempted to use the arm rest/pull on the open door to pull myself up, and as I did the door pushed further open, and I fell. Took a little chunk of skin on the heel of my left palm, jostled my wrist and elbow. Elbow is what’s hurting now, but that joint–as with most of the rest–has had aches, pops and cracks, and so on for 25+ years.)

I’m up and moving around a little later than I hoped, but I still managed to get up at a decent hour–with the help of Ashlee, to be honest. Ashlee called me this morning while she was at work, to inform me I had an opportunity to go to work today. Apparently the plan today for extra freight involved purging the home trailers; and then they realized that I wasn’t on the schedule today. Oops. So, I was offered the chance to come in, and I said I’d rather have the extra day off.
I’m still not quite sure how I’ll spend today, but I know I’ll use it to my advantage, somehow–even if it ends up being a somewhat lazy day.
