Long Day Today It Was

Hello My Friend.
What a weekend I had. Not to exciting but good all the same. Friday I released 17 kids from the facility and ended up getting 4 more. I knew something was up when one of the head honchos calls to ask how many we have on campus. Needless to say they arrived late that day and to top it off the air went out as well so I ended up leaving early that day. Knowing was going to have to be there for my staff meeting the next day I just decided I’ll log the new intake to our facility so they would show in the computer and where they were assigned.

Saturday got up late as I was tired again. Didn’t go to bed until about one that night and finally got my faculties together and made my way to work for the second of Six meetings I have a month. Meeting went faster than I planned as I wasn’t complaining but I did end up collecting 5 hours f comp time as I was completing the files of the new intakes as well as catch up on some work since I knew I was going to be in training all day this Monday. Once I left there came home and tried to do some work but my monitor just wasn’t cooperating at all. I guess after seven years it’s time to invest in a new one as I think I got my moneys worth from this one. That will be happening this week as well. I mentioned the company name and all and that will be happening this week as well. It should take about a week or two for the whole process to be completed as I’m looking forward to putting that behind me. After that I will have to go to the court house and delete the old name as the publication is under a DBA of the old company name. Sounds complicated but it’s something that’s necessary to continue on.

Sunday rolled around and again I wasn’t able to do much as the monitor has decided it wants to display one color now. I’ve almost resorted to beating on it but that usually doesn’t solve the problem but yet make it worse so needless to day I wasn’t on the computer much this weekend or at least on line that is. I can’t use the laptop as Photoshop require a lot of memory and the laptop just doesn’t have enough on board to stop the shut downs or restarts during my editing. I’m able to edit and save a few but not many which makes my job run slow for sure. I could sure use that time on other things. Still that didn’t happen.

Ten o’clock rolled around and I realized I had no clothes ironed to wear to work for Monday. Since I don’t wash on Sundays to keep the honor of my grandmother alive I had to settle for what I had already washed sometime during the previous week. I was up until midnight ironing and only got five hours of sleep before getting ready to head off for my training this Monday morning. I got there and hour and a half early this morning and took over the desk until one of the secretaries arrived. Then I was off to training. Long day it was. In the process I took my cable modem in to be exchanged as the last one Time Warner gave me started going back, Resetting itself and some time not logging onto the internet at all. MAN! This new one really rock, plus it’s twice as small as the previous ones I had. Talk about fast speeds. All I can say is, “I LIKE IT.”  HEHEHHEHEH. I guess good thing do come in small packages for sure.

Traffic wasn’t too bad on the way home for a Monday evening especially when you drive an standard. I love standard but not during traffic hours and it’s not often I hit traffic in the city as I work evenings and the traffic is usually over or heading the other way. Other than Saturday and Sundays I don’t get to enjoy and evening home during the week unless I took a day off. Was kind of refreshing and I could get use to it again however I don’t see that happening anytime soon but it’s all good. I tried to call Will today but no answer. Got his toe smashed on Friday and wanted to find out his progress. Also called Wayne in Canada and no answer there either. I was striking out every where that’s for sure. LOL

Tomorrow I have to get my vehicle inspected as I’m over the five days to do it and I don’t need to be ducking the cops over it. HPD will for sure give me a ticket regardless of my officer certification status so that’s first thing on my list tomorrow. While I’m waiting for them to finish I’ll be looking for a good deal on a flat panel 19” monitor. Glad I didn’t wash the vehicle this weekend as we had 60% change of rain and it poured at the job which didn’t surprised me. Working on the gulf it always rains over there. Well that’s about it for now my friend so until fingers do meet keys I hope all had a wonderful weekend and even better week as well. Good hearing from you as always and looking forward to chatting with you all again very soon. Hugs to you all and take care.
