Some weekend...

 I swear to all that's holy in any way, the shop is going to take off and make enough to get me out of that double-be-damned plant. For about the ninth week in a row, we got posted to work Friday, and geezus, we had to work. WORK work, because half the department didn't show up. We NEVER had this kind of stupid issue going on when we were scheduled for five eight-hour days. We always made our production numbers and still got relatively close to 40 hours with little to no overtime. Heck, most of the time, we got done EARLY. This crap is ridiculous. So I'm pouring as much of my time as I can into the shop and eventually it will get to where I want it to be so I can quit on a permanent basis.

Ok, now that that bit of drama is out of the way, let's get to the minor drama of grocery shopping tonight, which also means I get to go BACK to the store tomorrow and finish up. I forgot ONE thing, couldn't get gas because the station was closing when I could finally get done with paying for the groceries I had to scan myself as the store doesn't really have cashiers any more, and partway through the store, my purse strap broke. The little tab thingy holding the ring at the one end of the strap came loose and so there's my purse dangling by one end and that was it. Drat and other naughty words, because now I have to hunt down a purse tomorrow, too, and if you are not a woman, you have absolutely NO CLUE how hard it is to find a good purse that fits what you want. So that's going to be a FUN trip, she said sarcastically.

Background entertainment at this point of my night is "The Gray Man" on Netflix. It's pretty decent. Highly recommended. Good storyline, plenty of action. Ryan Gosling plays a good guy well, and surprisingly, Chris Evans makes an excellent bad guy, despite the cheesy mustache.

So time for some picture time and then I need a snack before I work on eating something before I have to head to bed in a while. I've got to get a lot done tomorrow other than the repeat run to the store.










This is a neat underground house (Hobbit House?) in the English countryside.









Amen to this one. I really don't like my job or most of the people I have to be around.


Lovely bedroom, isn't it? I want one like it!









I have a pit and she sure is a snuggaholic!



Neat chicken house! And considering my current employer raises and kills and preps all the chicken for KFC, this is incredibly funny to me.

Just a thought here...

 But work-wise, COVID changed so much for the world as far as how we work. For two years, work was done remotely as much as possible. Now there are several ways to work - full time in office, mixed (part time in the office and part time remote), and fully remote. Employers have learned that remote work still gets done and often much better and faster than in-house. With less distractions, work can be done more easily. Which made me think just now, with so many companies going full remote on everything they can, which saved boatloads of money on expensive leases for office space, a lot of this office space is going to go to waste. What need for skyscrapers and fancy, expensive offices other than to prove that the men in charge of leading these companies have a need to compensate for a lack of something elsewhere? Which also made me think, I've had a few good sites for remote work bookmarked for ages and done nothing with them. As I'm still employed but seriously looking for empl...

Today wasn't really any better

 As I'm no longer a "top dasher," making any money today was almost a bust. $24...woohoo. I need to try up in Green Forest, where the plant is, tomorrow and see how that does me. No midrange restaurants there, just a diner that closes early, a gas station with a bunch of food type things (chicken, tacos, etc.), and a small handful of low-midrange restaurants. I can give it a whirl for a few hours and see what happens. Worst that happens is the nothing I'm doing now and I come back to home base to make SOMETHING. On the other hand, come Saturday,  I start a new 3/4 time job at a local gas station. It's pretty regular and will at least keep the rent paid and the credit cards paid that all the bills are going on right now. Going to be a bit tight for a while till I can get back to top dasher status, which will be hard with only two days a week off anymore, and working till close every night. By the time the gas station closes, all the restaurants are done too, except...

Whoopsie!

 I didn't realize it had been so long since I'd posted. No wonder the pictures have been piling up on my computer. Things have been a bit crazy lately. Work has been insane with breakdowns and people missing or general what have you. I worked a point off end of last week, and then this week, used it on Thursday because my body was screaming bloody murder at me. I woke up and everything was still aching from the night before, from head to toe, quite literally. I could barely walk to get the dog outside for a potty run and get me some breakfast. (The zoo gets dinner right now because of the heat, instead of breakfast, so it doesn't spoil before they get it all eaten.) I've been in a bit of a glum spell lately as well. I'm kind of bummed out by the job, working on the shop and seeing how fast I can grow the product offerings so I can draw more traffic and of course, get more sales. Work's been giving us a lot of hours, to where I've been getting overtime every ...
