Beep... Beep... Beep

 So, yesterday was slow at work... really, really slow.  Not that there weren't customers in the store, the foot traffic we saw was light, though to be honest was normal for this time of year.  Winter is turning out to be a bit cooler here then last year.  On most days temps hit the 40's (F).  

I did receive the first of my 2 yearly reviews.  The process has changed.  Gone is the folder with pages of critique, your strengths and your weaknesses.  This was more of a chat, shorter then some as I have no interest in growing my career at this point in my life.  I did mention the fact that there are times when I am still put in position of authority; I don't like that.  I took a cut back in $$$ because I no longer wanted to deal with 'situations.'  

Cori, the artist who does my cover-art, told my she should be finished with The Body in the Loch sometime next.  I'm excited.

My new running sneakers arrived yesterday.  The uppers are some sort of meshy material which fit snugly across the top of my foot.  There's also a removeable insert made of Parley ocean plastic, which is upcycled, not recycled, and evidently better for the environment.

Like many of you with smart phones, mine is set up to give me notifications, not personal Facebook Pablum, rather when something of interest happens in the political spectrum I get notified.  So, last night I'm in bed and I hear this 'beep.'  A few seconds later there is another 'beep.'  Because my sleep is important, I did what I always do, rolled over and started grabbing another few minutes of rem.  Well, around 0330 Biggie decided he needed to pee.  When a 118 pound dog tells you it's potty time, you better rouse your butt out of bed because baby it's potty time.  Grabbing my phone as I headed downstairs to let him out, I began checking the headline.

Congratulations Raphael Warnock!!

I am so glad someone has finally braided the locks of Kelly Loefler.  Of course you know she's going to contest the election.  That's what all Republicans are going to do from now on until we vote them into extinction.
