A guy who says things. Hi. (I host a podcast but that's not all this account is for - I also like baseball and video games and rasslin.) he/him/his themeltingpat.com

The bus I usually take was 4 minutes early (lol) so I missed it. No problem, I thought, since I can walk a few blocks and catch a different one. I was a block away when it passed by. Just let me work from home full-time, ffs.

I took a sick day (an office day) because my back is bothering me. If I could WFH, I could've hobbled to the basement and done stuff. Instead, any client emailing me for their case will have to wait until tomorrow for a review. So tell me again how these office days help with service delivery?

Interviewed for a promotion today. I feel good about it. I hate hyping myself up, but I managed to work in that I created a policy guide for the office (not a thing that non-supervisors usually do) and that I won an agency award during the busiest year of my career. Maybe it'll work out for me?

My friend at work recommended the book, Home is Where the Bodies Are, so I checked out the audiobook from the library. I love this story! I have about 90 minutes left and I cannot wait to get back to it.

My friend at work has a teenage son and wanted to know if the movie 72 Hours (Netflix) would be appropriate. I watched it (for research, obviously). It was a fun romp! And it would be appropriate for a teen son.
