Someone Who Does Family Nights

We didn’t have much going on at work today. I got caught up on a bunch of random work orders, then met up with everyone for lunch. A big group of us tried to walk to Madame Wu’s, but they were closed in spite of their open sign. I got a message kind of late saying to go home half an hour early, but I was too busy wrapping things up myself.

Summer brought all the kids over to start watching the Marvel movies, and we started with the first Iron Man. I had planned to watch The Incredible Hulk as well, but the kids wanted to play Drawful instead. We did that, then started some other Steam games until we settled on BattleBlock Theater. It was pretty fun, and worked fine to tire everyone out. We’ll continue our movie binge tomorrow.

Smoked butter?

Buy One, Get One

It was my turn at Oakland for their second day of testing today. I had a couple things to do there, so it wasn’t a complete bust. Plus I like spending time with my girls in the office. Sheri bought a huge pot of chili from the Wesley Foundation, but hardly anyone donated, so I had lunch there to do my part. It was pretty good chili, but she had a ton to take home with her.

I made it back to the shop for the very last part of the day, but didn’t get any farther than that. I headed home after work and tried to clean up a little before the weekend. Bác Vân called with eggrolls, and I visited with her for a bit before the girls came by and completely demolished them.

After they left, I played a double in PUBG with Jack, and we both made it out alive with our chicken dinner. Then we played a squad game with Josh and Adam and won that one as well, making for back-to-back chickey chickey din dins. Our third game was sort of close, but I blame the loss of our fourth game entirely on Adam, because he did the exact opposite of every single thing I said.

Is this thing even on???

Curb Appeal

It was another uneventful day of testing at the junior high. I didn’t even get to any other campus because I had enough stuff there to keep me busy. I’ll have to be at Oakland tomorrow anyway.

I tried the McDonald’s app ordering again today, and I think it went better than last time. I parked in one of the curbside pickup spots and checked in, then received my food in less than half of a Fleetwood Mac song. In hindsight, I really missed my opportunity to get a Big Mac in half a Mac.

After work, I went to my parents’ for dinner, then to Summer’s to visit for a while before heading home to bed.

Promos on promos on promos.

Subway Time Trials

A new way of doing things.

Testing started again today at the junior high. I grabbed my toaster and slush on the way in, and was met with virtually no real trouble to speak of. With testing complete, I met up with Ryan and Dale at Subway, where I was greeted by a new way of doing things. I appreciate the saving of plastics, but it did make taking my leftovers a little more difficult.

Lunch didn’t stick around for long, and ribs for dinner at my parents’ didn’t do me any favors either. I didn’t feel like much of anything in the evening, so I stayed in and played some more PUBG with the guys. It’s testing day two of three tomorrow, but I don’t anticipate any more trouble than I had today. I’ll save that for Thursday.

Drop into work and get hit by a Hyundai.

Toaster

I started out this morning with a bacon, egg, and cheese toaster and large cranberry slush from Sonic for $1.99. They’ve got this deal going on all week, so I’ll consider breakfast planned.

I didn’t have much going on today. I spent most of it at the junior high, but came home on my lunch break. I didn’t feel up to eating anything then, but I snacked on some shrimp chips at work in the afternoon.

After work, I went to my parents’ house for some phở, then came home to install my new shower head that came in the mail. Hopefully it sprays with some decent pressure, and not like the shower is peeing on me. Then PUBG carried me to an early bedtime for testing in the morning.

At least I can look forward to another toaster in the morning.

Dinner with Folks

Summer wanted to invite my parents to her house for dinner today, so the kids spent all afternoon cleaning up. She marinated some chicken and made a pineapple mango salsa, along with some pico, guacamole, and a nice salad. I steamed rice, because stereotypes are humorous.

After my parents left, we watched some Primitive Technology until the girls went to bed, then I went home to play PUBG with the boys before heading to bed myself.

Taglines are hard.

Flavacolic

I tried out McDonald’s new app ordering system today and picked up a pico guacamole quarter pounder for free with the purchase of some fries. Overall it went well, and I think I like the system. The ordering process could have been better, but I think the promo code is what made it difficult.

Keno got on, and we played some doubles for quite a while. Once he left, I spent an embarrassing amount of time shopping deals on Amazon. I didn’t accomplish much else today. I did make some popcorn with the new Flavacol seasoning I picked up recently, and it turned out pretty good. I feel like my kernels are a bit stale or something though, and I need to make some clarified butter for the future.

Manufacturing Superbugs

School was cancelled due to plague. Custodial and maintenance were out fogging rooms with some kind of ionized saline solution as well as some other aerosol that seemed much more dangerous.

We got one touch panel hung before lunch at Fat Daddy’s out of town. I ate too much potato, but it was everyone else that was feeling worthless. Without any other group projects, we started drawing numbers to go home early. Josh wanted to get some food, so I met him at Stoby’s for a slice of possum pie.

Once home, we played some PUBG for a while, then I went to Summer’s for the evening. I was feeling a little wonky, so I took half a Nyquil to clear my sinuses for bed.

Early in; early out.

Velociraptured

I took half a dose of Nyquil last night, and it killed my morning. I was groggy all the way through lunch. When I got to the shop, Sara was the only one there, so I assumed Raptor Jesus had come to take everyone else away. Eventually some others showed up, and we went to Wendy’s.

After work, I went to Summer’s for a little while before coming home for some PUBG with Clint and Jack.

We’ve had so many students and staff out on sick leave that they’ve decided to cancel school tomorrow, but I still have to go in. I guess that gives us all day to hang another touch panel.

Come on, weekend.

Let’s Get Clinical

Summer was feeling much worse this morning, so I took half of a sick day to take her to the clinic. The best guess is a herniated disc in her lower back, so she got loaded up on drugs and we picked up some Frisco burgers.

I stuck with her until after lunch, then I got a little work done before heading back to her house in the evening. She was feeling much better on the meds, so we warmed up some leftovers for dinner and chilled on the couch for the rest of the evening.

Have I been here before?
