Slow Down and Catch Up

Today started out pretty slow, and I just rolled with it all day. I got to catch up on a few things to close out some older work orders, and had several new things come up that were relatively easy to complete. I had lunch with the girls in the library, then took it easy in the afternoon as well.

After work, I went to my parents’ house to help clean up some more leftovers. I got really frustrated with the amount of food they had that was needlessly going bad, so I stuffed myself to finish up as much as I could in a furious fit of gluttony. Then after giving myself a bit of time to make sure I wasn’t going to literally die of food poisoning, I went to Summer’s to hang out for the rest of the evening.

My hands were cold, so I had to warm up a potato.

The Payoff

I had to wake up super early this morning in order to get to work before Kevin. I wanted to set up my GoPro to catch his reaction to the computers blocking his office door. Unfortunately he beat me there, so I had to rely on security camera footage instead. He managed to get in via the door between our offices, so he wasn’t too obstructed.

After lunch, he told me he had gotten stuck in there a couple times and had to call someone to let him out. Unbeknownst to me, the door between our offices had a key on his side of the door, and hadn’t been re-keyed to match any of our master keys, so he couldn’t get back out of his office except by moving some of the computers out of the way. I made quick work getting them back to my office, but it was fun while it lasted.

After work, I went to my parents’ for some fish soup, then had to go back to work to finish up on a computer that had been giving me trouble. By the time I left, I was ready to head home. I played a few rounds of PUBG with the boys, then it was off to bed.

“He wasn’t even mad! All of this was just for a prank!”

All the Way

I tried my best not to sleep in all day. Tomorrow morning will still be a challenge, but it should be worth it.

I spent a little time catching up on bills and chores until the girls stopped by to visit. They didn’t stay long though, so I met Josh at Waffle House for a steak and eggs. I finally got those hash browns all the way.

Back home it was time for a bit of PUBG before bed.

Chili and gravy? Of course!

Mounted

I caught up on some sleep today. I didn’t wake up until just after noon. Not long after I got up, my phone mount arrived, so I went and installed it in my car. I think it looks pretty slick. I wish my phone was natively magnetic so I didn’t have to have a metal plate stuck to the back of it, but even that doesn’t look too bad. We’ll see how well it holds up in the summer heat, but so far I’m really happy with it.

Nobody was around to do anything, so I burned most of the day. Clint got on in the late afternoon and we played a couple rounds of PUBG, but that’s all we did before I left for Summer’s. She baked some breaded pork chops, grilled some corn, and boiled some mashed potatoes. I was impressed until I looked up a list of cooking techniques, and now I feel like she could have tried a little harder.

We watched Toy Story 3 thinking it was the newest one, but I forgot how many there were. I think the fourth one is the one that made everyone bawl their eyes out.

I want Waffle House so bad I can’t see straight.

Dragging Fridays

I didn’t get nearly enough sleep last night, which worsened how the workday dragged on. We spent all morning cleaning up the shop. It seemed like lunchtime came so late, even when we left early to eat. I ordered the ghost pepper wings from Popeye’s, and they tasted like the tiniest, regularest wings I’ve ever had. The blackened ranch had more spice than the wings. They were also short by two wings, which they offered to replace with two strips rather than make me wait an additional eight minutes to cook two more wings while the first ones got cold.

We got to leave an hour and a half early, so I came home to rest for a while before heading to Conway. Summer and Autumn came by for a little while until Josh showed up, then he and I headed to Chipotle, Game Point, and finally to see Jumanji. I got to see the whole thing this time without being stuck in the lobby waiting for refills. It definitely rounded out my impression of the movie. Now I’ve just got one more weekend before school’s back to normal.

The fact that I’m not Instagramming this right now is insane!

The Prank

It was just three of us there today. Still no group projects in the morning, and the afternoon was helping close work orders for Allen. I stayed late after work and finished stacking computers behind Kevin’s door. I even went as far as to hook most of them up so they would be blowing warm air at him as he opens the door. To top it all off, I set up a working computer with monitor, keyboard, and mouse on top. As I left, I leaned the keyboard and mouse against the door so they would fall out as soon as he opens the door.

Mom texted earlier and said she thought something blew up in her home theater system, so I stopped by there to check things out. I couldn’t tell that anything was wrong with the speakers I gave her, so I left there and headed home for the evening. Summer came by and read a book for work while I played some PUBG with the guys.

I’m ready for a vacation now that everyone else’s is almost over.

The Setup

I woke up feeling awful this morning, and ended up snoozing an extra half hour. Ben was back, but still nobody had anything for me to do, so I spent all day by myself. We all went to Old South for lunch, and I had their breaded and fried pork chop. I’ve still never had a bad meal there, but the service was quite a bit slower than usual. They were packed though, so we weren’t horribly surprised.

I stayed late and started arranging computers behind Kevin’s door as payback for when he hid in my office and scared me. I wanted to go for a scare, but the opportunity to wall off his office with old computers won’t come around again for a while. It won’t be quite as solid as I had originally hoped, but I think it’ll still look pretty good.

From there, I went to get some gas, then stopped by Summer’s for a while before heading to my parents’ for dinner. Mother has ridiculous food problems whereby she makes too much and throws it all away.

When I got home, I played a few rounds of PUBG with the boys until bedtime.

Don’t get too comfortable.

Spogooter

Perhaps surprisingly, nobody was in the mood to accomplish much today. Half of them were just there waiting to hear if we would get to leave for a half day. Even Dale wasn’t in much of a rush to get anything done.

I spent all morning running cable and cleaning up the existing wiring in a classroom. We met at Morelos for lunch, where I had some killer lunch fajitas.

The afternoon was spent getting intimate with my junior high yearbook lab. I didn’t even finish, but at least I have a decent idea of how I want to arrange the new computers. Assuming everyone else is in the same mood tomorrow, I ought to be able to finish it then.

After work, I went to Summer’s to visit for a while. She made spaghetti, and Autumn had a friend over for the night, so we played a game of Bingo. I’ve never felt so old and domesticated. It went okay.

Once I got home, I played a game of PUBG with Josh and Clint. I did okay.

Tastes like Heaven; Burns like Hell

The Gangover

The cats woke everyone up this morning. It was a lazy day of cold pizza, The Jackbox Party Pack, and Life of Pi. It really is an incredible movie.

I took everyone home after dark and hung out there for a little while before heading back home so I could get back to the slow grind at work in the morning.

My life is all games.

Dinner and a Movie

I slept in a bit today, then got up to get ready for another trip to Conway with Summer. We wanted to catch the new Jumanji movie in the afternoon before a little shopping and a couple of steaks.

The movie was pretty great. It definitely had a different feel to it, but I liked how it pulled straight from the old movie and made it something new. I didn’t realize it, but Summer said it was her first 3D movie. She seemed to really enjoy it. I made the mistake of getting up near the end of the movie to refill the popcorn and my drink, and ended up missing the climax, but I imagine I’ll get the movie for home in 3D once it’s available.

After the movie, we went to the new shopping center on Dave Ward to see what was there. We stopped in the PetCo there, and it seemed like all the animals were in relatively poor health, which was surprising considering the neighborhood. After leaving there, we stopped by Old Navy and grabbed a few things. I returned a defective pair of jeans and grabbed a new sport coat, and by that time we were ready for dinner at Logan’s.

Once we finished eating, we headed straight back toward home, stopping at Blackwell to restock before New Year’s Eve tomorrow. Then when we got back home, we watched Kevin Hart’s What Now on Netflix. He was better in the movie.

She understands the intent.
