Back at the office after min corona break. Nice to be out of the house again. I have a nice house but spend too much time indoors lately.
Normally I do my long runs early in the day but yesterday I waited until the afternoon to run 20 miles. Finished at 5:00 PM, then was achy and fidgety all night. Wind and hills made that a very hard 20 miles. 
Averaged a 7:18/mile pace.

Hilarie is continuing to decline?Coffee, another morning in hell.
/me is working from home today. Also juggling sick kid (wife called in so she will run point), Italian PHEV minivan that left me stranded on the side of I-225 last night, bug smokeout day at mountain house, getting remediated water damage in Denver house basement repaired, and possibly a few other things.
It looks as I have murdered a smurf out of my butt. Thanks kid.
With the meds my dr put me on to try for the Add (which are kind of working) I have to cut my coffee consumption.
Hopefully this week is a slightly smaller shit show.
Yeah, Between the plague and her difficulties, I have not had a life for three years or so. Nor do I see any real relief ahead.
slept through my alarms. woke up 5 minutes before I needed to be out of the house. I was nearly non functional doing my first 4 Dialysis transports with zero caffeine intake. I am fixing that issue right now with 3 shots of espresso
Hey, does this look swollen to you?
Starting to compile my "must have" things into piles for the coach and got piles for storage. This is going to take me a while.

I am not sure what is more concerning, the fact you have sister wives or you take them to the Vet.here. sent out taxes. waiting for moolah. Vet yearly appointment today for both ladies. ima go ride my bike now.
Last night was a bad, bad night. Kiddo must be going through some struggles. I was awake with her every 20-30 minutes, except for a couple of hour long stretches. Finally crawled into bed at 730 to get a few hours.
Time to get to work so I can do this again tonight.
Not drinking coffee, nor playing guitar, nor running.
Do still need to use the facilities though.
Time change meant I woke up 5 minutes before I start work. So no time for monkey posting before I was on the clock.
Pondering flights to go see the parental units for the first time in 3 1/2 years, thanks COVID. Need to see how badly the tax bill for last year is going to be though too.

The fun thing about young kids is that there's always a sleep regression possible at any age!

in other news they keep pushing back my dad's release from the hospital so i get to keep babysitting my fucking mother. joy.
It was a day of stupid people for my Monday, the winner was our apprentice that tried driving a hardened pin out with a centre punch. He got a piece of metal in his finger as a reminder not to be a fucking moron, that's two trips to hospital in three months, smart one he is.
Coffee, pancakes, poop, wander around in the woods, with the possibility of a nap somewhere in there.
dog and pony show at work for new global director
Ah, another reason why bosses want people to get back to the office. Nothing boosts morale like a show of fealty as the newly minted ruler looks out upon the adoring masses.
the revolving door of upper management shall continue unimpeded.
this is the 4th global director for the department in my ~10 years here. i'm on my 5th direct manager.
Ive seen that stuff before. I have to wonder where the revolving door folks come from and go to. It’s not like they fall down the ladder from upper management to middle management or staff. It’s like once they get into that orbit they just keep circulating to other gigs.
they rotate through functional areas in order to advance. there's actually a program that encourages it.
I also had a super rough night of no sleep. We think the orange cat has lost the plot. If we don't give him medication before going to bed, the dude is up all night stomping around and crying. That cat has an incredibly loud raspy meow and he does it all night, as if he's lost or looking for something. He's been like this for over a year now..
Was bad enough that I told my coworker I was coming in late, as I need to get a few hours of sleep at least.
Yeah well, guy still needs to open a ticket.

Reminds me of when I first started here as a student. Sitting in the IT office, this guy walks in and asks for help with his phone or something. I promptly ask who he is and tell him to please open a ticket. I take his phone and when he walks away, the other guy in the office informs me that he is the President. Double derp.

That's exactly what they do. Hop from one role to the next, either at the same company or another, hoping that each jump brings them closer to the top. Seen it at every job. It's a select cadre who care more about their title than almost any other aspect of work.
this really needs mr. kranked's head photoshopped on. not sure if on dog or on pony tho . . .
Just found out there’s a 3/15 deadline on a bunch of reports that I don’t have in my system as having a 3/15 deadline. It’s gonna be a crunchy day.
Just got back from a five mile jog on the rail trail and saw a coyote. NEAT. I never saw one before. Got a real good look at him before he took off.
