Sunday night musings

 Over taco salad, no less. I made it to my bestie's recipe, which is so amazeballs that she always has to make a double batch for her bunch, and it's always still all gone. There's enough for a couple more bowls for me later for snacks or whatever the next few days. Sure do wish I was only working from home, because that would make an awesome lunch. Can't trust people at work to leave my stuff alone in the fridge though, so I can't take it with me. Sigh and other unmentionables.

Only a few pictures today, but that's ok. Weather was much better today though I fear the next 8 to 10 days will be much worse than weather has been, temperature-wise. Temps from Tuesday through next Monday are looking to hit highs in the triple digits - yikes! All other days these next couple weeks are due to hit high 90s, with no more rain in sight than what we got today. We had a blow through storm for a couple hours this evening, with penny-sized hail and gusts up to 40mph. It was a nice cool down for the evening and night. Wish it would rain a lot more off and on the next several weeks. We here in NW Arkansas are already living in Satan's buttcrack and rapidly heading for his armpit, and it's not even August yet, when it is generally the hottest. Work commute in and work itself are going to be miserable. Definitely not looking forward to all of that mess. With my heart issues, heat and I do not get along well any more. Temps that high, I really just want to stay home and work on the shop in the cool!

Speaking of the shop, it's coming along nicely. Haven't made anything live yet, but nearing the end of the move over of existing products. I look forward to making these products active and adding all kinds of new goodies with the same designs, AND NO LISTING FEES, unlike over at Etsy where I had to severely limit myself on product types due to all those fees.

Anyhow, here are pictures, enjoy!


I want to find where to get this mug when I have a few moments to do so, and get it for myself.


I was happiest when I was off grid in my cabin. I miss it and am determined that one day, I will go back to that lifestyle or as close as I can get anyhow.


And yarn stores...

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

Image
 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...

It's been a weird few weeks

Image
Weird starts with I like my job but I'm looking for something else. Seriously hunting for a different job. My supervisor is a toxic jerkwad and his boss thinks me asking him to speak to jerkwad about his behavior is funny. So it's hang on to the Just Over Broke until I find something else, maybe two of them, and then bail. I like the money and bennies, but I'll work my butt off on overtime if I have to just to make enough to pay the bills. I'm not staying where I'm not treated with dignity and respect. I have been putting out apps and have an interview Monday at 1pm. Means a bit short sleep for the plant if I don't get an immediate job offer/start date, but I'll manage somehow. Because the plant honestly has me in tears a lot and my mental health is at stake. I cannot deal with it much longer and stay sane. Not a lot of places that will hire someone in their 50s so I'm a bit limited there, but something will come along eventually. If not this thing Monda...
