Conference food made me pretty queasy all night, but fortunately today went okay. I was surprised to see Maggie in the office when I got there, and further still that she was still there when I left. I felt the pressure of more people needing me today, plus I had a couple of conference calls scheduled. I only went to one of those because the teacher was unable to reproduce an issue for a vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had placed an order for a Reuben at Arby&#8217;s the night before, since I had a discount code. Randy and Jim really wanted to go to a place called North Bar, so I picked up my food and then met them there. It was a more expensive place with a variety of burgers, wraps, and such. Jim&#8217;s chicken sandwich looked pretty good because the chicken was more than twice the size of the bun. Randy&#8217;s order was put in wrong, so his got comped and we split my burger, and then his when it eventually came out. I liked his bologna burger better than my blueberry one, but both were pretty good. Overall I thought the flavors were great, but it just wasn&#8217;t worth the price for the portion size. Everything being \u00e0 la carte didn&#8217;t help, because I had to pay extra for fries with the burger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stopped by Target on the way back to the office to get an online order of Tide that I had placed a few days ago. Randy left in the afternoon, and said he was leaving me as the de facto director. I laughed that I was the newest hire, but he responded that I was the one with the most experience in his role. After that, Maggie had me sign a bunch of data privacy agreements. I told her it felt like he was leaving so they could use me as a fall-guy on some sketchy paperwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was a bit hungry after lunch, so I actually ended up eating my Reuben before I left work. Then it was a dull ride home to find Summer in the kitchen and Eaddie and Eli watching TV. I took the dogs out for a run to my parents&#8217; house and then spent some time with them when we got back. I skipped the chicken Alfredo because of the dairy, and drank some dinner instead. I had to rearrange the dishwasher after the girls poorly cleaned up the leftovers, and I kind of stewed a bit until bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>unappoint<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had another chicken biscuit this morning on my way to work.
