Nothing New

posted by sometrouble @ 10:54 AM | Test Category Two | Monday, March 31, 2008

Nothing to see here. I've been busy with other things and haven't felt the strong desire to blog lately. Some things have been going on lately that I really can't write about here, so I've just been staying away altogether since nothing else worth sharing is on my mind at the moment. I expect to be back to more regular posting soon. Right now, it just takes up too much of my time, and I don't have much free time. My birthday came and went last week. Another year older. It didn't really even feel like a birthday...I had to work, hubby had to work. We didn't go out, and we didn't really celebrate it. I had dinner with my family the night before, but he had to work and couldn't be there. He is taking me to a concert this summer (that's my birthday gift) and I'm pretty excited. Otherwise, it is life as usual around here.

I miss the racket of crickets outside my window keeping me awake at night.
I miss the rain falling outside my window.
I miss the warm breeze.
I miss open windows.
I miss daylight at 8:30 PM.
I miss waking up warm instead of cold.
I miss stepping outside and finding that the sun really is warming the earth instead of it being sunny and 20 degrees F.

Oh and the kitties miss open windows too they we are going stir crazy.

When is it gonna be spring already?

When are you going to post pictures of your project from back in February? The PVC pipes,etc. Anxious to see the project. Yes, we are ready for spring too.

I started out for work today. After seeing about the eleventh car spun out or in the ditch, and almost ending up there myself...I turned around. Don't worry, I have lots to keep me busy here today. Hopefully, I can get lots of work done, and have tomorrow and Monday free for FUN! :o) Happy Saturday, everyone!

It's off to work I go. But I REALLY don't want to today. Yes, I'm whining. It's my blog get over it. I am motivated to paint, and vacuum, and clean, and de-clutter. I am NOT motivated to drive in to work to work my ass off for 8 hours and come home and collapse at 11:00 PM with no motivation left to do anything.

I work in a lab where there are three shifts. I work afternoon shift, obviously. The management wants to move towards a continuous processing workflow. Gone are the days of finishing your work and relaxing for the last hour of the shift. Now we are busy the whole day, and rarely finish our workload, passing it on to midnight shift to finish. It makes for an exhausting day. I'm not trying to whine about my job, I am happy to have one, and the pay is not bad. But when you get used to one thing, it sucks when they turn everything upside down.

In our lab, we have different roles to perform. We make the schedule on a semi-rotational basis. I say "semi" because some others and myself are not trained to operate all the equipment, so we don't get a full rotation throughout the week and sometimes get stuck doing the same thing three or four days in a row. Burns you out. That's me today. I did the same task for the last two days...and I have to go in a do it again today. Only today I am the one with all the extra start up maintenance to do on the instruments, also I am the one who has to wait to start my work until later in the night, and will finish up latest. I am scheduled for my least favorite task today. Many times in this role, I won't even get a lunch break. 8.5 hours on my feet, running around, racing the clock, hoping for things to run smoothly. There I'm done complaining, gonna suck it up and try to make the best of it.

I tried to explain this the best I could to make sense without giving away too much of where I work exactly. Sorry if it is unclear.

Well, we ordered the counter top today. We decided to just get the slightly more expensive one that we both could agree on. The extra cost is worth the peace in our home. We rarely agree on a design or style of something, so the fact that we both liked this one was a big deal. We didn't want either of us to be disappointed with the choice. This "color" really is a lot nicer overall. It looks more natural, and has a nice subtle shine to it that the other two (from the previous post) don't have.


Now I am working on what seems like MILES of trim work that needs painting down there. Sitting on the cold hard concrete floor for that long and bending even further down to baseboard level is not fun at all. It is really shaping up though. I am getting really excited. Tomorrow we are getting all the door handles, and decided to change out the ones upstairs as well. Where did my weekend go? Back to work tomorrow.

I think it will look very nice! I wish I could get a house remodel, especially in our kitchen, but alas it just can't be done right now. But it will be done before we ever move!
