Nothing remarkable about today. I even came home to eat a leftover hot dog for lunch. Then it was leftover spring rolls at my parents’ house for dinner.
 
Hope cancelled the float trip on me because nobody else wanted to go. I had just filled out the paperwork to take the day off. Josh had his wisdom teeth taken out today, so I guess I’ll spend some time with him tomorrow while he recovers.

I finished watching Warcraft after work. Mediocre movie, but I thought the 3D was done superbly. Afterward, I watched Safety Not Guaranteed, which I absolutely adored.

What good is livin’ a life you’ve been given, if all you do is stand in one place.

I keep consistently getting 4th place on solo PUBG games. Like exactly 4th place.

Mom made spring rolls for dinner. Julie and Andy came over for that. I just felt bad for Dad having something he doesn’t love on both Father’s Day and his birthday this year.

I started watching Warcraft, but stopped so I could get to bed. I forced myself out of bed after about three and a half hours of sleep last night so I wouldn’t stay up all night tonight, but after yesterday I’ve been feeling a cold of some sort coming on. Maybe a normal amount of sleep tonight will help me clear that up.

Everything’s a meme.

I slept in until around noon today, which makes for difficulty getting to sleep.

I played my first solo game of PUBG and made fourth place, so that was a little exciting. Then Mom texted and said they were coming over. I showed them the first part of The Amazing Spider-Man in 3D until she decided it was time to go. Josh came over after he got off work to check out the new TV as well, and then we went to Mulan’s for dinner. I hadn’t been there in ages, and ate way too much.

After dinner, he dropped me off at home and I played a couple more rounds of PUBG with him and Randell before messing around with Kodi the rest of the evening.

…Makes Me Feel like I am Dead

We finally moved my computers to their respective buildings this morning. Unfortunately I’m still waiting on cables and/or adapters.

Fat Daddy’s pork and chicken BBQ spud for lunch.

Overwatch, then PUBG with Josh and Johnny.

I do this from time to time, where I can never wake from a bad dream.

I’m not really caught up yet at work, but I’m not feeling the stress any more. Maybe I’ve just accepted my fate. Things still haven’t settled into any kind of groove yet because I’m assuming everyone still has early-year stuff going on. It’s kind of frustrating to find solitaire running on your team leader’s computer when you’re helping him do something, but I’ll choose to believe he was just getting ready to play it during his lunch hour.

I took a couple gallon bags of leftover hot dogs from the junior high because I didn’t figure anyone else would eat them. I guess that’s my life now. Maybe I can retrain myself to start saving all of my money again.

After work, I came home and mostly just lost track of my evening digging through my entire house looking for a 50 foot HDMI cable I bought a few years ago. I got enough of my desk cleared off for my home theater receiver, so I finally have sound coming out of my JBL Studio 530 speakers and sub. I never did find my 50 foot cable, but that really would have been too long anyway. I just need 7 or 8 feet to reach my PC.

I also found a bit of inspiration.

I’m jumping off of the world now. I’ll never stop; never slow down.

I only got about four hours of sleep last night. Waking up wasn’t terrible, though, and I didn’t have to drag myself out of bed like I sometimes do. Everything’s still here. Just how I left it. I ended up staying at work about three and a half hours late trying to catch up. I’ll get there some day.

Dad went to Uncle Rick’s to get my pillow back for me, which was super nice of him. I told him it wasn’t urgent, but I guess he felt bad, and didn’t have much else going on for the remainder of the week he’s taken off. I went by my parents’ house to pick it up after I finally left work, and then came home to some of the Blackhorse Pub Vanilla Cream Ale I picked up this weekend. From there, it was Overwatch all evening until Jack and Johnny got on to play a round of PUBG. Now it’s time to put this rattling mind to rest.

I get along without you very well.

I definitely tried to cram too much into my day. I’ve gotten sloppy because of that.

We hung one of the new touch TVs at the junior high today. They’re heavy and difficult to move around, for seemingly no reason. I cleared out as much of my work as I could before my vacation starts, but I’ll have to hit the ground running as soon as I get back.

After work, I spent far too much time setting up my new home theater receiver and not nearly enough time packing. It’s difficult to pack a suitcase the night before when I still have to use things that I’m packing. Having a CPAP just makes things even worse.

I’m excited to get out of town though. Hopefully I can find some headspace. Hopefully it’s not overcast for the eclipse. Hopefully we don’t get stranded in a town with failing infrastructure due to the massive influx of people.

I’m just hopeful like that.

Today was the big day to have our auction winner pick up our old lab computers. I spent all morning cleaning up other work orders, then swung by Wendy’s for a quick lunch before meeting the guy. Ashley, the girl that always seems to take my order, remembered my name, and we laughed about how that’s the sign that you’re visiting a place too often.

After my quick bite, I went to Center Valley to start our journey of a thousand (200) computers. Being a rich school, it is our only elementary that actually has two computer labs. We cleared it out, then continued through six other campuses to load up. I ended up taking too long and didn’t have a chance to go by UPS to pick up my new home theater receiver.

After I finally finished, I went to my parents’ house for a cooling dip in the pool and some leftover soup for dinner. I didn’t stick around too long after that, exhausted from the afternoon’s work. I came straight home and played some Overwatch by myself until bedtime.

The eclipse is coming! We’re doomed!

I’m starting to remember how much I didn’t like the beginning of last year. The work orders just won’t quit, and I can barely stay caught up. I spent all morning waiting to hear from the freight delivery guy with my TV. He finally brought it around lunch time, and helped me drag it into the garage. I also had my receiver held at the UPS customer service counter so I could pick it up tomorrow.

After work, I came home and spent all night setting up the new TV. I cut a hole in the wall to run power, but I don’t have an HDMI cable long enough to run behind there yet. It wouldn’t be a problem if I actually ran it to keystones like I planned, but I lost some screws to hold my wall plate together. Seeing the TV display just a few bright pixels on a bright screen really is amazing, though. I’m excited to get some proper ambient lighting behind it.

The TV doesn’t actually look much bigger than my old one, but the bezel is tiny, the screen is super thin with a slight curve, and the contrast, colors, and blacks are stellar. MOOvie night is coming back soon. I can feel it.
 
Having an Asian mother has given me an appreciation for nagging criticism.

Today wasn’t too bad for the first day of school. I kept busy, but not annoyingly so. Nobody met up for lunch, so I skipped it altogether and had the remainder of an unfinished bottle of Soylent. After work, I came home and played some Overwatch by myself until the others got on to play Battlegrounds.

And in the morning, I’ll make you up some tea and toast…
