Shaft!
Unfortunately “Shaft” has never been an apropos nickname for yours truly.
I have things to say, but as the title infers have slept too late to say them today.
One shorty, see never “Shaft”, yesterday was “Christmas in August” as I purchased my ticket for “A Christmas Carol” on December 23rd at Shakespeare Tavern. Though I missed out on the group ticket sale that Deposit Slit does annually, I purchased a single ticket and hope to sit with them; I should be welcome as I always share the bottle of wine that I purchase…
With that I bid you “Auf Wiedersehen!”. Hmm maybe I should try to create a new German phrase — “Auf Wiederbloggen!”
Cheers,
Paulie [eatl/ga]
Auf Wiedderbloggen… “until we blog again” I like it!
My Mazda is home from the hospital! They didn’t find anything unusual when they dropped the pan, which on a car with 200k is a good thing. Put in new fluid (showed me some of the old fluid, which was black) and buttoned it back up. Said they drove it and didn’t get any codes. I, of course, was halfway home when the code showed up! It comes, it goes- didn’t see it at all on the 45 miles to Marta this morning. Fingers crossed.
A slow night last night and reading in bed at 8:30. Ollie and Lola were raising hell last night as we went to bed, which got Ollie in his box instead of on the bed. A strong talking to to Lola. Kids…

I hate mysterious recurring problems, especially with cars (and bodies).
Still struggling with hip/leg pain. Really feels like pinched nerves, but I am no doctor.
Going to consult with Lisa, a trained PT, this weekend. Going to make a doctor appointment for next week, if possible. Will seek any sort of help necessary to fix this because as you will read tomorrow it’s hampering my life now.
ARGH – my coworker that does my work when I’m out is out today – damn its way too much for just 1 person.
Hope y’all are having a better day than me
Except for getting a good amount of sleep I am not. In addition to the pain I am dealing with an ever-increasing weird work situation. I’m not sure if/when “XYZ Corp” is going to hire another iOS developer, leaving me here to flounder alone. In some respects this is good, but it’s not exactly the situation in which I wanted to land when I returned to work this year.
To hear you talk, you’re always “getting the shaft” instead of “being Shaft”. The only person I see in your way is you. Easy for me to see after decades of undermining myself in very similar ways. You can be a bad “shut yo mouf” any time you’re ready to get started.
“Wow! Look at the job Paulie, the new iOS guy, is doing! I mean, everybody quit and he’s still cranking out code!”
Problems can be opportunities.
Glass half full, half empty, blah, blah, blah.

I am complaining to no one here. I am using this as an opportunity to learn new skills that may be useful “down the road”. Of course if my stock portifolio would explode in a positive way the road would be shortened considerably. 🙂
Complaining?! You?!
🙂
Jobs are up, the Market is up…fingers crossed.

I try to pick my battles wisely.
Holy smokes, I was able to walk from “XYZ Corp” to the Woodruff Arts Center with almost no pain! It would make me much happier if this trend continues.
I’m now at Octane Coffee drinking a little late-afternoon java and eating part of an espresso brownie. I have dinner plans tonight, you’ll read about that tomorrow, so I shan’t eat the entire brownie.
