Not your same ol' love story

Guys, I've been meaning to make a post and share photos from my trip but...
( Grr... Argh... )

I've been on edge all day and couldn't figure out why.  Day's been fine.  No one has asked to get bitch slapped, there weren't any angry, demanding emails, and Chad the Donut Guy (lol - he works for a vendor and comes by once a week, usually on Wednesdays, with donuts) came a day early.

And yet, I've been anxious, fidgety, and out of sorts. 

Come noon, I get a call from a local hospital asking if we have an employee by the name of X.  I say, yes, and the nurse (I presume, he didn't actually say) tells me that X is in their facility in the neuro ICU.  "He's politely confused, ma'am," is what he told me.  Well, he's Canadian so...  But yeah, so it's like my anxiety is psychic or something, I guess, because this was not on my 2025 bingo card (nor was renaming the Gulf of Mexico, buying Greenland, or annexing Canada, but here we go, FFS). 

Talked to his sister a bit ago and she says it doesn't sound good.  This makes me so horribly sad.  He's such a kind person.  Quick with a joke, always a good listener.  Even once told me he was named after a Canadian hockey legend. I just barely pulled through the last two months with what would have been my 27th wedding annversary, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and the fifth anniversary of Troy's death.  The lone bright spot in there was Miss Madison's 23rd birthday on Saturday.  The rest has been... a challenge. 

I can't handle it if something happens to him.  You work with someone for 27 years, they become a part of you.  Even if you aren't close, even if you only talk for a few minutes a day. So, this is me, putting good stuff out into the universe for him and for anyone else who needs it.  You have all my good vibes, hopes, wishes, and dreams. 

Hopefully, I didn't bring anyone down with this, but I had to get it out.  I can't talk to anyone here, becuase Rhett and Brian are keeping it quiet until they know more.  As they should, it's no one's business and damn but the men in this place are nosy.  Hahaha. 

Have a fantastic Tuesday evening (or Wednesday morning if you're H) and hopefully it isn't half as windy where you are as it is here currently.  

When someone responds to an email you've sent and puts their response in the subject line, rather than in the body of the email. 

Why?

There's your petty moment for the day. 🤣🤣🤣

Have a fantastic Monday, y'all.  

Mostly good stuff, too, but I'm going to start with the annoying so we can end on a high note.

Good god, how hard is it to read and or add a bit of context to an email?  Apparently, it causes excruciating pain.  🙄
( Rant ahead )

I've felt like hot garbage all week.  Partly because we've hit the 90's and everything is in bloom, thus pollen.  But it's also been windy the last few days, aggravating my sinuses.  That the cats are shedding their winter coats probably doesn't help either.( Blah :/ )

One of my guys just walked by my desk, cell phone to his ear, and started blowing kisses at me as he passed by.



(Sorry, just had to share. He made my boring ass afternoon a bit more amusing.)

((LOL Spotify, what is that song choice right now?))

that I'm being screwed with.
( This man... )

...“Assless chaps” are just chaps. If they had an ass, they’d be pants.

I laughed much, much harder than was necessary.

This came on the heels of Joel asking me for copies of change orders I wrote yesterday.  He then says, "They've only approved four.  Do you have any idea how many we have on this job?"  I give him a look as I'm handing him the stack of papers and say, "Yeah, I do.  I just wrote NINE yesterday." 

Dumbass.  🤣🤣🤣

I will admit I was a bit testy since he repeatedly interrupted me trying to finish payroll this morning. 

Taking my grouchy self back to work.  Bye, Boo!

Okay, so this is going to sound like a very weird complaint, but it's one of those things that bugs me.

We usually buy big boxes of file folders, 250 is in the box I just grabbed out of the supply room.  These always come with a pile of left tabs, then a pile or right tabs, and then a pile of middle tabs.  99.9% of the time, no one sorts them (that's apparently my job 🙄).  But, I noticed when I grabbed the box a minute ago that someone had sorted them.  BUT... they sorted them as right, left, and middle instead of... right, middle, left?  Why?

And like I said, this is dumb and honestly makes zero difference in anything.  However, you had better belive my mildly OCD ass is sitting here resorting all 250 file folders!  I like to be able to reach into the box and grab a full set of three and not worry if I'm getting all three or mix of whatever.

Okay, I'll see myself out.  🤣🤣

P. S. 'Concerned' needs to be a mood because I am currently concerned for my own welfare.  HAH.
