"Oh, man, I think the clock is slow..."
Apr. 11th, 2025 11:04 pmWas on the clock from 12-9 today but only put in about four hours of work because there just wasn't that much to do. I have about 33 hours logged for the week, but despite some large returns I doubt Ill be on the right side of the curve.
Got up at 0900, got dressed, and went down to BK to get french toast sticks, a bottle of water, and a Diet Coke; they didn't have sugar-free syrup, but I did at home so I just nibbled on the hash browns until I got to the post office.
There I had a shitload of stuff waiting for me. Mattress topper, Komi, notepads, the Roughneck Chronicles off eBay, Burma and Chaco that I'd ordered off Kickstarter, Battle Brick Road ditto (5 copies of issue #2 because I forgot I already ordered one), a couple of kolaches from Butter Maid, two more Amazon Essential pocket tees, and Stipple-APA along with a couple other pieces of mail. I managed to get it all into the car with the assistance of a helpful lady, and got it all upstairs in two trips except for the wargames. No hurry on those. I unpacked the topper and spread it out; the instructions say 48 hours, but 12 will have to do. Around 1500 a knock at the door heralded the arrival of a UPS guy with my Surface tablet, which I took a little time to set up. Apparently Office Mobile has been folded into Microsoft Copilot, which is fine with me because fuck Office 365.The Surface Go is actually a little thinner than my Samsung phone in its Otterbox, though that will probably change slightly when the keyboard/cover arrives next week. It would have been here today as well, but the shipper wouldn't send it to the PO Box, so I put the home address on it, and of course it got rejected at the PO. Amazon agreed to just ship another one to the PO Box for no charge, which is fine.
I conformed to the Law of the Fish by taking advantage of a Subway coupon for three footlongs for $17.99, which was actually cheaper than the B2G1 deal on the app, which I couldn't get to work anyway. One of them was a garlic roast beef sub that I ate Thursday night and the other two were tuna salad subs that I devoured today for lunch and dinner.
Took a break in the action from today's work to sweep the Giants, which after beating Pete's Brewers 2 out of 3 on Tuesday made for a good week. Still a game behind the A's, but we have over 70 games to go, so I'm not giving up hope. Carl Morton picked up two wins, Spaceman Lee finally got his 10th win, and Bob Johnson got his 9th save. Dave Kingman went on a tear against the Giants, blasting three home runs during the series . which was nice and confirmed the wisdom of my decision to trade for Braun and stick Dave in the #9 hole as DH.
I'm on the clock from 12-9 tomorrow, so I think I'll make my bed and get in it.
