I spent all day at the junior high. I never really heard from anyone else either, so I had lunch with the girls in the library. Then in the afternoon I traced back some lines in the ceiling that run down the wall and under the ground to the library shelves so I can replace them later.

After work, I came straight home and troubleshot some network stuff. It seems today it’s my router that wants to cause trouble and slow things down. Dad emailed and said Judy emailed him asking for a letter of recommendation for a grant she’s applying for, so I called and chatted with him for a bit.

Eventually a few rounds of the guys came on and I played some PUBG, Overwatch, then some more PUBG before bed.

And I’m talking to myself at night because I can’t forget.

Today was “Administrative Professionals” day because everyone wants their own holiday. I hate that people can’t just always be appreciative. I also hate celebrating things, so maybe I’m biased. We took Heather to Brangus for lunch and pitched in for a massage gift card, as though that settles things. I guess it’s a nice gesture, but having holidays for it just makes it feel lessened.

After work, I went to pick Eaddie up from chess club so Summer could start on dinner a little earlier. We had grilled chicken thighs, mershed perderder, and salads, then watched an episode of The Office. I made it home early, but spent the evening toying with the new Gmail. I don’t love it. Why do they keep making things bigger?

Over-certified and under-qualified.

I’ve been trying to play some app challenges by Amazon. Today it was Toy Party for three bucks. I never did get my $7 credit for Seekers Notes for some reason. I guess I’ll have to contact them to find out why, but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do that.

The day went by pretty quickly. I got to spend some time in the EAST Lab’s domain controller so I can rebuild it on a better foundation. That was fun and educational. Lunch was just Dale and me at Taco Bell, so it was light and fast.

I ate some leftovers for dinner when I got home, then waited until the guys got on to play some PUBG until bedtime.

Hear that? Me neither.

We didn’t have much team work to do today, but I managed to volunteer for a couple jobs to pass the time. First, I helped Zach run a line for central office’s panic button. Evidently they want the button to only lock down their office and not the Gardner campus right across the street. For something so safety-focused, that sure doesn’t make any sense at all.

After we finished that, I went to the junior high for a bit until lunch. I convinced Jason and Allen to go to Brown’s Catfish so I could use my birthday voucher. They had some interesting new things for lunch, including a burrito casserole which was pretty good.

In the afternoon, I volunteered to help Ryan and Ben with a touch panel install at Center Valley. Ryan complimented me by saying, “thanks for helping.” That’s two days in a row for me. I also figured out some things about an Avaya phone using my brain parts, which earned me a pass on the second of some 600 tests. I’m really on a roll.

After work, I went home and played a couple rounds of PUBG with Keno before cleaning up and heading to Summer’s for the evening. She’s got a half marathon tomorrow, so she wants me to take the girls to watch when they wake up.

I guess I’ll have to call it a dull early night.

This morning went by pretty quickly. I found a couple slices of wheat bread in the lounge that were free for the taking, so I had them for a late breakfast before meeting Jesica at Stoby’s for lunch. She finally gave me my financial planner, and I got the same anxiety I always get when I look at this kind of stuff, and I wanted to sail away toward the horizon. My off-menu peppered burger was great, if a bit messy. I knew the waitress would go with a burger though.

After lunch, I solved a bit of a mystery that was keeping me from deploying some classroom management software to one of my labs. I think I gained just a little more approval from Ryan, so that was great. I stayed at work a bit late until the girls got home, then I went to pick up Summer to go to Ruby Tuesday for a BoGo deal I had.

When we got back to her house after dinner, we watched a couple more episodes of The Office before I headed home for bed.

I didn’t realize I had to get to level 11 and then complete a bunch more tasks!

It was yet another slow day today. I started out at Oakland and ended up going to Sonic to get grilled cheeses and breakfast burritos for the girls in the office. I eventually made it back to the shop for a while until lunch. It was Zach’s birthday, so we went to Fat Daddy’s where I shoveled meat and potatoes into my face with the utmost shame.

I went home to kill some time until Summer got home, then went to her house to grill burgers for dinner. They weren’t prepared for the level of decimation I offered in the game of Uno afterward.

No I can’t go back to what I know.

Today was a beautiful day for a ride, so I spent it at work.

I did at least ride to work, but it was still a shame to spend most of the day indoors. A group of us went to CiCi’s for a $4.17 tax-day buffet. I’ve had better food there during lunch, but it was alright. I wish I had gotten more salad and less pizza, because the salad was really good.

I spent a bit of the afternoon in Photoshop after seeing Jessica’s computer wallpaper. I didn’t actually get to finish it before getting called to Oakland to set up printers for kindergarten registration, but it turned out alright.

I went home for just a bit after work before filling the bike with gas and heading to my parents’ house for eggplant soup. Coincidentally, Mom stopped on Jurassic Park 3 that was on TV, and Jessica texted to say she was served an advertisement for the new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

When I got back home, I discovered I had a new dog. It lasted for about two minutes, and then it left me just as suddenly as it appeared. I made plans for Avengers: Infinity War, then finished the evening in some PUBG with Keno and Aaron.

I was always floating around, head in the clouds.
