Read An Off The Clock Block, Part 2

Me: "I’m off the clock, but I’ll grab someone for you."
There’s a manager a few steps away, so I flag him down. Problem solved, right? Apparently not.
Customer: *Snapping.* "It doesn’t matter if you’re off the clock!"

(Father’s Day is approaching and I’m texting with my brothers. Brother #1 lives out of town with his family, while Brother #2 lives abroad with his wife, so celebrating Dad falls on me.) Me: “Hey, any gift ideas for Father’s Day” Brother #1: “A car!” Me: “I was talking about for Dad, not for you.” […]

Read Bee Careful What You Demand

Mom: *Snippy.* "I was stung by a bee. I need some medical assistance."
As a student worker, the last thing I’m allowed to do is provide medical care of any kind. I can’t even hand out a Band‑Aid.
Me: "Oh, I’m sorry to hear that! As a desk worker, I’m not able to provide medical assistance, but—"
Daughter: *Impatient, cutting me off.* "You don’t even have a first aid kit? Can’t you just give us something to help?"

Several years ago, before we got had internet via fibre, we had a lot of issues with the connection. I worked as a developer and IT-tecnichian so I had really good knowledge in computers, network and troubleshooting. We switched ISP several times hoping that someone could figure out why we had problems. All support calls […]

oh right, summer

me when it is 50F degrees out: I love the outdoors! I'm a person who does things outdoors! I can do multiple things in one day! sometimes I almost feel like I'm handling my life in a semi-reasonable way!

me when it is 70F degrees out: I love the outdoors, as long as I'm in the shade, or maybe just inside with the windows open! I can do ONE(1) thing in ONE(1) day, which is sort of sometimes a semi-sustainable way to manage my life in a place where it's much colder than this for much of the year!

me when it is 90F degrees out: ::lying on the floor, crying::

I used to work at a very small convenience store/restaurant, the owners where getting up in age and quite awesome to work for (literally no issues except a crazy employee once in a blue moon). Every morning we’d have a few regulars come in and get coffee, picture about 8-10 older men paying a dollar […]

I was speaking to my sister, who mentioned her pregnancy had temporarily solved her lactose intolerance because the baby could process it or something. This whole conversation is paraphrased because my memory is shit. Sister: Except the cravings are a bitch. Me: That bad? Sister: Yeah… I’ve been craving custard. You know I’ve got a […]

The Day in Spikedluv (Monday, July 28)

I hit Walmart while I was downtown and got in a walk around the park. I stopped at Stewart’s for gas and milk on the way home. (One of the things I had to pick up was wasp/hornet spray because Pip discovered - by getting stung three times - a wasp nest in the roof area of the front porch, where Midnight spends a lot of time. (TBF, Pip never completely closed up that roof area, so it's really his own fault. o_O))

I got two loads of laundry washed, dried AND folded!!, hand-washed dishes, emptied the dishwasher, baked chicken for the dogs’ meals, cut up chicken for the dogs' meals, and scooped kitty litter.

I posted my SFFest fic, finished the Clare Fergusson book, and talked to mom on the phone. We went to Texas Roadhouse for supper with friends!!!

Temps started out at 68.2(F) (and sticky) and reached 91.0.


Mom Update:

Mom had her first chemo treatment today (Monday). more back here )

Dog days of summer

Air temperature 67 F, wind southwest about 8 mph, mostly cloudy. Air quality "moderate" with AQI 52. Supposed to reach 90 F this afternoon. Foraging, then cowering away in mechanical cooling?

This happened back around 2005 or so. I was working at a convenient store/gas station. It was located right next to a postal service hub, across the street from a fleabag motel and next to the interstate. There was a patch of trees between us and the interstate so you could not see the interstate […]

One of my stories was just posted, where I mentioned that I offered a rate for snuggling to my housecleaning and organizing client. This is not prostitution and it is actually a service I used to sell. Sometimes people just need to let down their guard and feel safe in someone else’s arms. I was […]

[When I got married, my wife wanted to get married in the church she grew up in in Bangor, Maine. This made sense logistically, since much of her family still lived in the area. My family was mostly in the western US, so only about half of them could make it. My parents drove from […]
