Kid's asleep, coffee cup is full..... might as well.
I mean.... I'm up.
Was so nice, opening the house up a little yesterday.
Turned off furnace, was gonna be a nice night to sleep....
Been since... maybe forever, that our idiot rescue dog was in bed with us with windows open, when the thunder started...
I mean, it was one thing for the murder kitty to go nose to nose with me, and then step over my head because a window was open and she wanted to lie in it.
at least that was funny and, more importantly, during the GODDAMN DAY.
But since my wife's at work, and the teenager's going home in a bit...
perfect day to "grumble 'round my little parlour....."(Music reference for any who might get it)
the girl she makes me pulverized, I feel so very strange...
sorry. where was I?
oh. Sleepy and crabby. Yeah, that's engrossing reading right there.
moving on.
Russia has "GONE TO WAR" with Ukraine.
Like when I was in 3rd grade, and the 8th grade bus stop bully "went to war" with me. only... an uncountably high % worse, what with death and destruction and all....
i remember laying there in the wet grass, crying, my head throbbing from where i was punched, from behind if I remember correctly. (he was somewhere behind me in line)
I remember thinking "If only i wasn't a liberal snowflake, worried all about cancel culture and feelings, I'd understand the big picture" of how I came to be lying there.
pretty damn advanced for a nine year old in 1976, if I do say so myself.
Was a daughter weekend, this weekend.
tympany!!!!!!!!

'twas light.
only ... 6 round trips in 36 hours.
of course, to finish off the weekend with those kind of numbers, you KNOW I just didn't bother to bring her home, at least once.
damn. hang on....
nope. she's asleep in her room. Guess we ended strong, at least.
would be lots of yelling and finger pointing, I expect, if I showed up to sunday morning rendezvous with no child in the car.
shit. I knew I was forgetting something.
My bad.
But if she turns up, here's her stuff.
Had Emergency dental surgery... five days ago. 70+ minutes in the chair, while they sawed and hammered and chipped away. no gas. no local. Just numbing the destruction zone.
worked the morning before I left for it, checked emails from bed all afternoon, and was at my home office desk before 7a the next morning, Put in six hours last sunday at the office, while in fuckton of pain because of... need for emergency dental surgery.
went home from work early on monday, day before the surgery, cus... i hurt so bad I couldn't focus. First time calling off sick in years. Cus.. been working from home.....
My boss texts me from his vacation. Wanted to know if I needed to use any vaykay time to make up lost time due to EMERGENCY SURGERY.
I'm salaried. And because of pandemic and working from home, I've not called off sick in literally years.
Also, I have little patience for this sort of thing. Thankfully, it was never an issue, until a recent change in management.
After good naturedly asking him if I need photographic proof of the surgery or not, and him assuring me it was not necessary.....
"Well, take whatever you feel is correct, for a salaried person when they miss time for EMERGENCY surgery. Let me know what you decide. Oh, but make sure to account for the 6 hours I gave you on sunday, please, and enjoy your vacation!"
great
