Almost Good Morning Lodge!
I am having the devil of a time dealing with this new format. It tells me I can't see stuff because I am not authorized. What is with that?
 
Morning, Lodge! Beautiful day here in 952 land, just put my take-out order in for shawarma from the local Mediterranean place, then meeting up with friends at church* to hang out on the patio.

*Old Chicago is no longer "church." Pretty much have abandoned them after they screwed their employees during the pandemic/bankruptcy filings. LTD Brewing, formerly referred to as "the corner store" is my new "church." ;)
 
I twice had to wait two cycles at a traffic light to cross a street on my bike on a trail. That may never have happened before.
 
Went up to my mom’s today. Picked up some takeout, we had a late lunch/early dinner. I haven’t been up to her apartment since all this started. It was a bit nerve wracking, trying to decide if I should go. I’ve been very careful these past three months, and she and my aunt haven’t been out much at all. It was just the three of us. I took care of a few things for her while i was there. It was a nice visit. I’m not going to make it a regular thing, it will depend on how things go here.
 
Back from my walk. It is a lovely day out.
I have felt like I can't get out of my own way the whole day. Tomorrow is another day.
 
Ahhh.....just bought a chunk of cards on Ebay. 1971 high numbers. The 1971 set is damned expensive to start with, plus the high numbers were 1) issued late in '71, so they're rare to start with, and 2) a good chunk of those were short-printed on top of that, making them even more rare. The only really big domino left for 1971 is the Roberto Clemente, and that one's gonna cost a chunk.

If my spreadsheet is correct, that puts me over 90% complete on my project.

I was recently invited to a FB group, declined due to me not being in that hobby anymore, but apparently it's bat-sh*t crazy.

You know things are moving back to normal when I'm venting about my boss. :)

I sent an email outlining something I screwed up with regards to our 2020 budget. I even said something to the effect of this line item is not in our 2020 budget and that's on me. Then I listed what needs to be paid over the balance of 2020 by quarter and totaled it and put in bold. She responds "I don't know why this isn't in our budget and how much will we need to pay?"

I know she's busy and dealing with a lot of stuff but the answers to her questions are literally the reason why I wrote the email. Ugh. This is going to be a sucky Tuesday.
 
Had a division wide "town hall" today. wT baby was talked about, and I found out that the VP of Ops now knows me as the one that refers to her baby as a dragon.
Backstory: our company Pride & Allies group had a trivia event over zoom last week. wT baby was on my lap for some of it and someone asked "boy or girl" I gave my usual response of "dragon" and "I don't understand why we have to define a toddler/infant/young child by gender". Anyway, Pride month was a topic of the town hall so my response to "boy or girl" was discussed by the VP presenting about Pride month.

Good Evening Lodge!
Flying visit to my Auntie's Lake cottage to open it up for her. Beautiful day. Traumatized on the way home :( :( We have stopped at the same place for >35 yrs. They are closed until 2021. Between C19 and they construction widening the road they have no way to serve food. Soooo sad!
 
I guess related to Scarlet's post about beeching about work:
Me: Yo, need someone down here, otherwise late truck, which I know doesn't make you happy. Volume is crazy.
Boss: We'll keep an eye on it, we're short a person today [ed note: they say that EVERY TIME. EVERY TIME]
Me: Allllllllllllright.
[late truck at end of night]
Boss: You couldn't get that done in time?
Me: You can prioritize all you want, but if the volume is that high...nothing I could do if you want me to really make the high priority stuff come in on time.
Boss: sigh.

I knew it would burn them one day, and today it did. I've been at my current position for 5 years now, have been told by not only my bosses, but my bosses' bosses (as in, regional, corpie) that no one at the branch can run the show like I do. They see the numbers, the man-hours worked at my building when I'm there vs not there...

I own that mofo.
