Day 5

After 4 days of gym time, and little sleep last night, it turned out to be a short work day so I dashed home for lunch and a long nap, followed up by a bit of reading in the backyard sun in my favorite chair.  Because we all need a break from time to time is what I told myself.    In reality, after the afternoon festivities, I started on my heavy duty house cleaning.  My mom will be here for a visit at the end of the month -- and heaven knows a house needs to be spotless if Mom's coming!   hahaha

Another half day at work, and then its Chandler's Ostrich Festival Parade.  I'm debating heading over to snap a few photos just for fun.  I've prepped my bag for being out and about -- it will all depend on the busy-ness of the morning's work.

Speaking of work, I'm nearly at 14 years with the company.  I hold a position in my BigBox store that could either be 'the bottom of the barrel' or one of considerable responsibility - depending on management's mood.  (snicker)  As usual when there's a shift of control, someone will flex their muscle of importance and switch all the keys.  It's such a hassle because they must have this "tree" of command which determines which level a person is at and what key level they are allowed.  I was assigned my set of keys, and employees all turn their keys in at the end of their shift.  However, in management's idiotic wisdom, they feel that me and the guy who works weekends for me can share a set of keys.  Frankly,  I find the idea kind of icky -- I'm not a germophobic by any means, but I'm not thrilled with the idea that I'm going to carry around a set of keys that this other man has carried around.  Does he wash his hands after using the restroom?   Ok, that's a little disgusting, but a person never knows, right?

We'll see how this goes down tomorrow when he and I are both working -- on opposites sides of the building.   I can see it now, having to call management to open up doors to let vendors in because they're .... short sighted enough to think that only one set of keys for two people who work the same shift will work.    (SMH)

My brain is tired, my body is tired, and I'm ready for bed .... at 6pm.  hahahahaha
I really am getting old
