It got me there much more stressed than usual, and I did not arrive feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as usual. I think if it hadn&#8217;t been so quiet and relaxed in the office all day, I would have been far more tired. I snacked a bit in the morning, so I wasn&#8217;t super hungry by lunch. Nobody came around to eat anyway, so I ended up going down the road to Louisiana Famous Fried Chicken to get something to eat by myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This place was an old Hardee&#8217;s with some new colors. For being such a targeted restaurant name, they had a strange mix of stuff. They had fried chicken on the bone, gumbo, jambalaya, <em>fried rice<\/em>. It was kind of wild. There was a nice black lady at the counter that had no problem scolding the sketchy, jittery fellow that didn&#8217;t quite get all of his trash into the can on his way out. In the back were a couple of brown guys, but I couldn&#8217;t tell what kind. They didn&#8217;t quite look Indian, but maybe Bangladeshis. I&#8217;m working with limited international experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got jambalaya with some fried okra, and both tasted good, but the jambalaya didn&#8217;t look anything like the picture. It seemed to be missing some sausage, among other things. The shrimp in it was tasty though. I left a little bit hungry through, having gone \u00e0 la carte, so I grabbed some fries from McDonald&#8217;s across the street on the way back to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maggie brought her daughter to the office after a dentist appointment, so the lights were out for nearly the entire day. I added all of the switches to PRTG manually, since the automatic scans just produced a bunch of other trash. I ended up leaving late because I got a call from Progressive about our auto claim. Evidently I should have just called GEICO directly instead of dealing with our insurance, since I wasn&#8217;t at fault. Later on the stressful drive home, I got a call from GEICO to get the claim started on their end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had felt a bit gurgly all day, so I took a break when I got home, and then took the dogs for a run to my parents&#8217; house to eat. Summer watched a couple movies on the couch while I was gone, and then I sat outside with the dogs for a while when we got back. I got them some new food that was on sale on Amazon, and then cleaned up the kitchen a bit before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This is incane.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer wanted to take the Tesla to Little Rock today, so I had to take the Murano.
