This week started with a Monday holiday. It is finally half over. Why the hell is it taking so long? I’m not in a hurry, but come on. Next week is the last week of school. After that, no more 530am calls. No making of lunch. I get a long vacay. So maybe I am in a hurry.
This morning I got the workout I missed yesterday because Best Buy employs loser morons running an ultra lo tech appointment system. Different kind of workout. I went 4 sets of 10 reps and 8 exercises. I actually swear a little and may have breathed hard. New for me. Trainer says his goal is to get me doing that every time. Good luck.
I raced home after. In the Fit. Got showered and ready. The only appointment I have today is with a concrete guy at the house at 5. Last estimate. Still waiting on one price. Hurry up.
Left for the office by 915. Crazy, ain’t it? Way early for me. Nothing waiting at the office. Except people and work. Instead of going to the office, I went to Sharif Jewelers to get a pair of Emily’s earrings repaired. I buy lots of jewelry there and they treat me right. I like that. They fixed it while I waited which is nice. I looked at all the pre owned luxury watches they have on consignment. I saw nothing I liked for me. Though I did see a blingy diamond covered watch that screamed out Emily’s name. I sent Marika a picture , her response “it screams Emily”. I can pick em. They had three that I think she would like. But one of those was muy precioso, and no. If I get one it’s gonna be less. With lots of diamond bling. Cuz she likes that. I gave Emily a nice Rolex a few years ago. She gave it to Marika when Marika graduates college. Nice, right? Gives it away? Like wtf? It was hers but still. Maybe I will get her one.
To the office. Finally. Everyone is in today. They have work to. Which is why I get paid.
All I hear d about was the poisonous light coming from the fluorescent lights. I like them. I did not make the building. And I don’t care. But, anything for employee harmony. I bought them incandescent desk lamps. Old fashioned non digital light. What a bunch of crap.
So, I did as much work as I could stand. Which was amazingly very little. I hate my work. A lot. Managed a few things just have no passion for the job at the moment. Or at all.
I spent about four hours working today. I think that’s enough. So at 3 I left and went to the jewelry store and bought the blingy watch for Emily. It’s just that easy.
Off to home. Meet the concrete guy, number 4, at home to get yet another estimate. Number 4. Trip home was fine especially since it’s kinda early. I got to the house by 430 and the guy was already there. Turns out he showed up early cuz he wanted to go fishing with his grandson and he was just hoping I would be early too. Which I was, 30 mins early.
This guy took a quick look, ID’d all the problems and wrote an estimate right on the spot. And it is the lowest so far. And he is recommended by a contractor I worked with. Seems good. And he can be fine 10 days from now. Others are six weeks out. Yikes.
I like him and the price. But I have one more estimate in the way. I can hold for that.
Emily got home long after all this. After I fixed dinner. Everything. And she likes the watch. I guessed right. Hurray for me.
Well, I did get to talk to Marika at dinner. She called. Not much going on. Wanted to let her know she guessed right on the watch as well. Not to tough.
Dinner was good if I must say so. I do. Not too special, just good.
We are watching a little bad TV as is our habit. Hope to be in bed soon. It’s looking likely.
