Blessed, blessed Fridat. Tomorrow I have a family reunion on my mother's side. Sundat a birthday party for Carol's grandson, Ian. Mondat, no work. The problem is going to be getting through todat.
Sigh.
I cleaned last nigit which made me very happy. I stayed awake to see Dan, just in case he needed to talk. Apparently they (Lowes imbecilic management) have decided to eliminate the 2nd shift, thus throwing Dan to work from 4:00am to 1:00pm. This is doable, but our arrangement for Tater care works so well with the 2nd shift (Dan until he leaves for work, my father until I get home, it all stays in the family). We will see what happens. Dan is upset because he knows it's a really poor decision, mostly because the decision maker isn't paying attention to the logistics of the receiving area. I suppose were the decision maker to outline the logic behind his decision Dan would be a little more accepting of the change, but right now, he can not see how it's a benefit and feels it's the new managers attempt at stretching his wings. My opinion is that it will work out. As long as he remains employed, it will work out. I made suggestions towards his looking for further work options within Lowes so we still can get the medical coverage we will most likely need. But should he decide to look elsewhere, he needs to have that elsewhere lined up prior to leaving. He knows this, but I feel better having said it. He was much calmer when he got home, and I even made him a mystery meal as a change from Ramen or burritos. He has today and tomorrow to cool down a bit more as well.
Make it through today. I am trying my best to keep any negative vibes from exiting my body, however I have a hard time being civil then. I wish I could define exactly what it is that bothers me so much about T- but I can't. It would help me in fixing the huge communication rift as well as personality differences. Make it through today.
I keep watching the construction outside my window. I need to focus on work. I will, that's not going to be a problem today. If I focus, time will fly and I will soon be at the grocery store buying item for a salad and burritos for Dan, and maybe even bringing dinner home. I am thinking that might be a wonderful idea. KFC is sounding mighty good.
Mental note...KFC.
Dropped 7 rolls of film off for developing. They should be finished monday according to the stupid little girl I don't like. She's the manager's daughter, educated, but stupid as she isn't doing anything with that education. Instead, she chooses to work at a gas station. What a waste of college money. Aside from that, she isn't very nice. That isn't to say that if you get an education you can't decide to work at some job you are clearly overqualified for, I am thinking that wouldn't at all work for me. Therefore, since everyone should be like me, they are being stupid for accepting an occupation clearly beneath them (most of that was sarcasm).
Anywho, I need to work now.
