My Tuesday is starting out terrible. Well, maybe that's an over statement, but I only slept about two hours last night because my problem child is causing me grief -- again. I let him go out for a few hours last night. He came home at the time he was told, but he brought home our grandkids (also teenagers) without asking (because he knew I'd say no since I have to get up early in the mornings), and they stayed up all stinkin' night. They weren't super loud, but the dog kept whining because he wanted to be with them. Since my sleeping quarters is the living room sofa, I could hear every little muffled noise. Besides, I was already mad over the disrespect.

DS - it definitely sounds like you need a nap. Take your pillow and go find one of thise trees that you reported. I am sure they won't notice you missing for a few hours.
In the meantime, the sun is out, it was maybe mid 70s when I came into the office this morning at 8:20, the high is supposed to be 90ish and low humidity.
I am here and I'm doing stuff. How terribly exciting.

The jury is still out. I'm thinking this might be a good day for me, but I'm being cautious on the optomism. So far, one of my three staff meetings for the day has been cancelled. I had a brief talk with my sup about the questionable direction one of my support assignments seems to be going... and he agrees with me that this seems to be a problem that needs to be addressed. Probably going to have to take that up with the boss, who is out of town until at least tomorrow because his mom is sick. Rest of the day is meetings, meetings, meetings.
On the up side, I have the house to myself tonight. There is a going away happy hour after work for one of our guys who is moving back to western Kansas to take over his dad's business... after that, evening to myself which always makes me happy.
DS... I hope your day improves. Lack of sleep and being pist off to boot really sucks. Good luck in dealing with the boy.

I'm ready to stab someone with a sharpie. It's one of those days where it seems like I have the anti-Midas touch, everything I try to do ends up going wrong. It's probably a good thing that I don't keep a flask in my desk.
Hm, I think someone in DS's house is going to be grounded... even more that is.
I have an eye appointment at 3:00. I gotta get new glasses. The anti-reflection coating on this pair is getting all orange peel like and it's screwing with my vision. I don't think I'll get the coating this time and see if it makes any difference.
It is not time for me to visit the eye doctor. But I really do need to take myself to the dentist and probably a bunch of other regular doctors too. It has been a while.

It has been about 3 years since I went to the eye doctor... which is why they are fussing. But in my defense, for at least a year and a half of that time they were no longer taking my insurance. I do need to go though. Don't think my prescription has changed any but it is likely time for new glasses just because of wear and tear on the frames.
