ianukSo, at the end of the day ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lferion commented that Benton stole all of the awesome. And I agree. He had a perfect day at school and I, Mel and Ari all suffered.
To start...Monday at work I had a feeling after looking at some data that a supplier was not doing what they were supposed to do. Its not my hardware, i.e. I'm not responsible for it, but I do look over it a bit since it gets used in one of my assemblies. Things just looked odd and the more I dug into the data the more I was convinced I was right. I wrote up a summary, put people who actually know the hardware and the supplier on distro and waited while they walked through my thoughts. Yesterday it came to a head and yes, I'm completely and utterly right. And its sucky. Like, can't ship hardware sucky. Now, its not like the stuff will break...what the supplier did was a better than for us but its not what they were contracted to do for us. So now its a papertrail, paperwork nightmare and we have to figure it out with the supplier who has been silent to our questions. Sigh. Left work for the gym and wanted to knock things out and then hit food/knit night and then do some shopping.
The gym was okay but I had folks trying to flip sets with me on squats so they could use teh deadlift area and the pull up bar. They really could have waited. I do quick sets with about 30sec-60sec between and they slowed me down considerablly. It was kinda rude. I should have said no but oh, well. Then my phone started blowing up with phone calls and its hard to answer your phone when its in an arm thingy for running. I need to remember that I think I can talk through it and just use the headphones to hear the convo but I didn't think of that since I was in the middle of 350lb calf raises. Sighs. Mel needed to pick up the kiddos from school for Ari since her work went to hell and it was a bit of a cluster due to this and that and I need to just make sure they have each other's cell numbers so I'm not the messenger. Sighs. Got back onto my work out and hit the deck for some core work. I need to remind Bob the gym manager to pump up the fitness balls they are geting squishy. I've started doing my planks using the Bosun and I think its much easier for me to do in some ways and way harder in others. Its just more comfy for my hands and they were bothering me after having to snatch/grab the bar with my squat weights over and over to switch the setup with that one guy. Sheesh. I ran/walked for 15 mins and then got changed for my awesome night out.
Yeah, not so much. I took a different route and shouldn't have...too much traffic and stoopid people. Realize that the store I needed to hit closed at 8pm which means I needed to skip knit night. My coupons at the store after I FINALLY found something to buy were not as good as I had hoped. Sighs. Then I picked up cat litter since Mel had said we were almost out. Then I hit Chipotle and while standing in line Mel asked if I could pick up cat food. Sighs. I waited for a busy line and got my chicken bowl to find out that they were out of iced tea? WTF? I dont' drink soda and it was crowded and loud and I was just done so I asked for it to do. I guess my face was distraught enough I got my food for free. WTF? Okay. I heade back to petco to get the cat food and then ate my dinner at Target, in the quiet of the starbucks area. I got things for food stuffs and first aid supplies (mel had exhausted the guaze and tape due to his elbow) and I found a work out slip on coverup for when I get done with the gym and want to stay warm. I got home from my errands at 909pm. Mel and Wander were busy prepping food for Estrella Tuesday Night dinner and I was exhausted and grumpy.
So, I check my calorie intake for the day and realized that I had ate clean and good and worked out and got 7k steps in that day so I had a beer and knit. I needed it. The cats were exstatic that I was sitting on the couch and all was well.
Today, hopefully not as crazy. I've already hosted an impromptu international telecon and well, yeah. I have a report to slam out today and other tasks to clean up. Hoping for good and not staying too late today.
