on the first day of the 3day, the ex dropped the girls and I off at cheapskate - which they love - and my eldest won at skate limbo! so proud ! :)
a little catch-up work and end-of-month and - of course - the usual beginning of month workload is in progress
going in tomorrow for a few hours for a bit more catch-up work with a co-worker training with me so next time I'm on vaca she can possibly get some of it done
admittedly it wasn't necessarily the vaca that backed us up, but the usual timing issues that happen mid-month with certain workloads
when vaca began was nigh caught up but came back to the usual bevy of mid-month work... so technically only a couple projects behind and with tomorrow will probably be at monday where I would've been at anyway
doesn't mean the help couldn't... well... help, obviously
and the point is valid that I've had little-to-no-time the past several months of doing the work that should be falling under my umbrella/title
though even this training is partial, as the mid-section of the projects would fall back into my lap nonetheless ( as well as the required tracking, since few seem to understand - or care? - where the details come from )
ANYways, I guess I missed the company meal while I was gone - but since only once has there been anything at a company meal I actually eat, I doubt I missed anything other than getting a free soda or two and bs'ing with some co-workers while they eat
*shrugs* not their fault - nor do I expect preferential treatment - I'm a picky-ass bastard when it comes to food, even food I like I'm pretty picky about
most get excited about the meals, since they don't happen often, and - honestly - I'd prefer just to keep working during them BUT I got a lot of grief and a talking-to a few years ago for not being a part of them, so I am now ( this is the first I missed since )
it's not as if I don't talk with co-workers... hells, the warehouse ( other than the new hires ) absolutely love me for some reason and the office staff I see daily and sometimes take a moment to give-and-take some shit with :)
( my office used to be IN the back of the warehouse before the redesign which put all the office staff together - which makes sense, since my work directly relates to the parts in the warehouse - but the redesign put the offices in the front-center of the warehouse so it's still easy to access what I need and keep in warehouse contact )
so workwise all is very well... maybe too well? ( kidding, kidding )
daughters are doing well, albiet getting far too close to their teens now - my eldest will be turning 12 this year !
we've got the upcoming "family" vaca in July, which is still crazy to think about... my first trip to Denver & Colorado, my first vaca with others - let alone my daughters and ex-wife!, my first First Class flight, my daughters first flights ever, etc
I know it'll be fun - I've enjoyed every vaca I don't spend in the apartment - but it's going to be... unusual... for my usual ( the ex and I are going to trade days with the girls, so it won't be as if I'll be with them the entire vaca daily )
weirdly, every vaca that I've ever been on ( which haven't been many, since I've only been taking vacations the past few years ), everywhere I've gone I've ended up knowing someone !
maybe Denver'll be the first, but we'll see - even this roadtrip I just returned from on the very first DAY a random gas station in a nearly-non-existant off-the-highway town someone recognized me... I have no idea who they were ( and wasn't about to ask, since they were babbling on excitedly), but they definitely knew me *laughs*
elsewise, I've been hit - as is per the norm when weather gets nicer - with my usual mental... tweakiness
when I get the chance I'll share the poetica I wrote just to get the ill-timing erotic edge out of my system, along with other poetica
I don't write often anymore, but I had to get the edge out... safely.
what can I say - I haven't even been kissed since '07, let alone other things... nearly a decade *Oi!*
and since there's nothing likely of anything on the horizon, it's gonna remain this way for awhile
( at least I haven't met any lovely wearing anything lavender scented, that would've taken a lot of self-control! )
no worries - that's the way life goes in the (sur)real world :D
randomness & chaos coupled with the endless unchanging plus bits of "seriously, again?"
( yes, have a friend who just underwent surgery and they discovered the cancer is even further - *shrugs* that's how shit rolls, I guess )
so, enough of my babbling and everyone keep Living and Loving Life !
farethee well for now, my Lovelies and Gentlefolk <3

5/26 : flying this long weekend ? remember rule #1: Don't Be A Dick.
if your plane is flying from/to a weather delay area and you're being a Spoiled Li'l Shit, I hope you're bumped - and bumped - and bumped again.
the airlines go above and beyond what they're required for your kind of flier.
5/26 Ii : wtf did I just watch ? Florgia-somethin' wrong, looking like redneck-hipster-hip-hop dumbasses - singing w/ Nelly & saying they're country?
5/27 : every neighbour I've talked to/seen this mornin' have been friendly as the 7 hells... almost makes me wonder if something's going on ;)
