A Working Holiday
Yet another weekend has flown by without me getting much of anything useful done, and here I am, sitting at my computer, doing work on a Monday in a string of Mondays and weeks that has seemed to flow by of late. The difference of today is that I’m sitting here in my sweats and my desk is the dining room table. This can be taken as a sign that it’s probably going to be a long week. My wife is feeling under the weather so I’m home to take care of Keston so he doesn’t get whatever she has, whatever that is, if it’s communicable. We’re all in the vague department these days.
So I’ve taken a personal day off work as I know that I’ll spend most of it watching him once he wakes up, but at the same time, I’m trying to get some work done so I don’t have to stress out about it for the rest of the week. Nothing quite like donating your time to your company, eh?
The weather today is supposed to be nigh on crappy from all the reports, so it’s probably best that I stick around here anyway. Good old Iowa is turning out to be a mell of a hess this winter and with another layer of ice and sheets of snow on their way, it’s just heaping insult on injury at this point.
Tea! Tea sounds good about now. I think I shall jaunt over to the kettle and get it going.
Man, I’m cranky of late. I know it’s mostly because of a lack of sleep coupled with the crappy weather and dismal greyness that is all-pervasive outdoors. Even the sun was seen weeping into a handkerchief the other day. The wife and I have bitten at each other’s throats for some time and we both know it’s because we sleep poorly and are depressed from the weather, but it’s humbling to realize it’s happening and while you can acknowledge it, it’s hard or impossible to control when you’re in the middle of it all.
And you know what? That cup of tea? Yeah, that didn’t turn out so well.
So, I grabbed a cup of decaf Earl Grey (Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.) I put it down on the table and then sat down, bumping the table and pissing tea everywhere, and causing me to jump up and do the Dance of the Wet Technology Fairy, tossing keyboard and rodent out of the way and hoping that it didn’t splash up into the laptop and wreak havoc on the hardware.
Ah, Monday….I wondered when you were going to show up.
