Well, Now I'm Not Doing It.

Compounding work issues, many of which could have been avoided if my department had leaders that would focus on setting forth any type of strategy or would attempt any of our processes plus vendor PMs who don’t know what basic industry standard artifacts are needing me to coach them on how to do their jobs. I’m sorry I shouldn’t have to give you a RAIDS template if you’re an alleged senior PM.

On Wednesday my lunch exploded in my bag on my commute and we had no paper towels in our kitchen (?!?!) so I had to bring both my backpack and my lunch into the bathroom to attempt to clean it up. Because of the alarmingly strong storms, I got stuck on the blue line for an extra hour wearing clothes that looked like I had jumped into a swimming pool as both my rain coat and my umbrella failed me immediately.

Somewhere in there I either have a cold or some allergy stuff going on and the wildly fluctuating pressure has triggered a dull headache that in on day 3 of.

And of course, the cherry on top is that our air conditioning was broken this morning (very thankful it wasn’t hotter!) and it only took $1600 to fix.

1. I’m glad we’re aligned that someone should do something

2. Let’s define urgent, because right now it seems to mean “I just remembered this today”

3. I appreciate this creative approach to not answering the question

4. I’m going to need the decision maker to emerge from wherever they’re hiding

Because you don’t…”undergo” sleep loss or memory loss and because I highly doubt this man is a doctor.

So we have now started using “undergoing” in completely incorrect contexts.

I had pancakes for breakfast (with blueberry syrup I made!) while I finished Yesteryear (not sure I get the hype about this one but that’s another post).

Then the new walking shoes I ordered arrived (Brooks Ghost Max 3) and I also exchanged the other pair I got earlier this week. I received a box of shoes with one that is a size 12 (my actual size) and one that was an 8. I had an existential crisis on Tuesday trying to figure out what was wrong with my left foot that it wouldn’t fit into my usual size. I mailed those back then stopped at Tony’s to get some of their guacamole they make in house to bring to a party I’m going to later and they had just made more and were putting it out. They also had watermelons on sale for $4 so I got one of those to bring too.

Then I went out front to do some weeding to see my roses had bloomed and I felt very happy that consistency does seem to keep paying off (hard for an adhd brain to see that most of the time) and my garden is thriving in most places even if we lost some plants over the winter.
