I started a new BeachBody program, and, I know this is stupid, but I'm so frustrated by this woman's math. She keeps talking about it being a 60 day program, and saying things like "On day 60/after 60 days" blah blah blah. The program is 8 weeks long, 5 days a week with 2 days rest. 5 days a week for 8 weeks is only 40 days. Even if she's counting the entire week 7x8 is still only 56... Where the hell is she getting 60 days from???? I don't understand!

I hate snorers that are partners/customers so much and sure enough god delivered me a 130lb dog that snores at the level a human does. God was like "Here ya go instead! Enjoy." When my mom was staying here before roommates "Max snores loud!" lollll yepppp! Currently listening to it now. Sometimes I wake him up from it. Such a joy to experience this at home lol. :P

I'm super comfy at home right now and waiting for an appointment to head on back to the hotel. I haven't been interested in outcall for the past few days. I like being in control of the environment lately.

Today is the first day that my oldest has gone back to in-person school. I had all these ideas about these productive things I was going to get done. I thought after cleaning up the mess from breakfast, I was going to get outside to do some gardening and planting, take the baby for a 30 minute walk, and I figured she'd nap so that I could cam for a couple hours. In reality I apparently birthed the human spawn of the energizer bunny, no nap. My hopes are not high of accomplishing much else today because 3pm is coming soon and my oldest will be home then.

Omg family in town 4 days.
It was great to see them but I’m so tired !!

I know I don’t do well with no alone time ( today if it was a longer visit I would have broken off 4-6 hours ).
Mental note to not do that again ( more than two days interacting without breaking off solo a few hours ).

I felt so enraged that a service guy was coming to the Airbnb during my first hour of quiet ( the bug sprayer guy ha ) that I immediately took off when he got here. I hope he doesn’t steal the whole damn house while I have a quiet coffee in my car.

I have the hotel door open with a chair to open it so I don't have to breathe it in. I don't want your shit in my room. I'm very upset and won't see him again. Some people display themselves as gentlemen and the next time GOD knows.

I am really digging this living near Vegas thing ( we are not IN that town but close enough to travel and dance the same day ).

It's a game changer for me in a way because dancer trips were always SO intensive ( I used to commute three hours minimum for my clubs in 2019 ). With that kind of driving I always felt so obligated to stay for at least a few days. I can do these little 24-48 hour trips now and just pop back over to my regular life easier. Clubs are far from normal though ( as of yet ) .

At work (at my regular job), we now use these floggers for the daily COVID wipe downs, but before that, it was spray bottles with diluted bleach. So, with men being overgrown children, a bunch of them have uniform pants which are discolored at the ass and crotch because they’d spray each other and say, “I’m just trying to kill off infectious diseases”. Our supervisor at first thought it was a uniform defect and was set to get those turned in and swapped out fir new pants, but now that he knows the reason, he changed his mind and he told those guys, “You wanna act like a bunch of big horses asses, you can look the part as well”.

Also, I’m thinking taco places/trucks/etc. probably did a fair business yesterday, with it being both 4/20 and Taco Tuesday.

I help a neighbor with some elder care and she called me tonight because her first covid vaccine shot is tomorrow and she needed some paperwork printed out. I mentioned that I had cleaned out my car so she won't see how filthy it usually is and she said she was surprised I would be a messy person. I told her I'm a super messy person and she said "well you put out a good front." And that just sounds so much like me it's painful.

Overheard something at work today that bothered me a bit. I got in this morning, and there was a guy in the shop I’d never seen before. Wasn’t sure who he was. I thought an equipment operator at first, but he turned out to be a new hire in the shop. Anyhow, I was sent out on a road call right away, so I didn’t know this until later. Anyhow, I got back from that and was put on this old Ford/New Holland tractor, and I needed to look at the manual. So we have a room… library if you will… where we have physical copies of service and operator manuals for all the equipment we run. They also put them on a share drive so you can access them on the computer, but this one was too old to have it on the share drive, and I found the manual for it at the far end of the library. So I’m sitting there looking through it, and I hear the door open, then I hear voices…I recognize one as our lead mechanic for our shift, and the other turned out to be the new hire. So I hear the lead explain this is the library, we also have the share drive, there’s a scanner/printer in the corner (by where I was), etc. They didn’t know I was in there. Then I hear the new guy ask, “Who’s your service writer?”, and the lead (and I) were both confused because that position’s open, the new guy indicates that he saw a woman, so the lead told him it was probably one of the women who works upstairs, and they work for the company on the other side, and the new guy says, “I saw her come in this morning, walk that way (presumably towards my shop bay), and (our supervisor) was walking with and talking to her”. So the lead asked the guy for a description of who he saw (there are two women working in the shop for this company, plus others in the office who come into the shop from time to time), and the new guy says, “Short, black hair, blue eyes, funny accent, definitely in shape and uhh… stacked”. At that point I realized who he was talking about, and the lead tells him, “Oh, you’re talking about (my name). Yeah, she’s a stunner. But she’s not a service writer, she’s a 3A heavy mechanic”. And the other guy’s reaction must’ve been skepticism, because the lead continued on reaffirming my job, told him I wasn’t at the morning meeting because I was in a road call, and he’d introduce us after lunch. But it’s what he said next.

He said something like, “We had a guy retire recently - (talking about ‘The Grizz’), and she was like his prodigy. He put off retiring for almost three years to stay and mentor her (emphasis mine). She’s sharp”. They said a couple more things and then they left, and I just felt like shit after hearing that.

Fast forward to about an hour after lunch, the lead comes into my bay and calls my name. He’s there with the new hire, he introduces us, we exchange the usual formalities, etc. So I ask the new guy if he minded stepping aside for a second, because I needed to speak to the lead privately. So he did, the lead and I went to a corner of my bay, and I told him that I was in the library when they were and had heard that conversation. I guess he thought I was talking about the “stacked” comment, but I cut him off and asked him, “Did (Grizz) really put off retirement because of me?”. He stumbled over himself trying to come up with an answer, which told me what I needed to know. So I told him, “That’s all,I have. This one should be done in a half hour or so”.

When I was walking to my car after the shift, the lead called me and ran up to me, and he said, “Look… you know (“Grizz”) was apprehensive about retirement. His wife was the one pushing it, he didn’t feel ready, and you just gave him a reason to do what he wanted to do. He’s a workaholic just like you. You’re good at what you do, you’re a damn hard worker, and you do a great job here”. I guess I felt a little better after that, but not completely.

It all makes sense now. His wife was always kinda cold towards me whenever we met, yet when they were here for Christmas dinner, she immediately warmed up to all the other girls in the house and even her disposition towards me softened over the course of the night. I never realized why… it wasn’t just her nature, it wasn’t because of me simply being younger than her, it was because I was passively keeping Grizz from going ahead and retiring. It’s still a lot to unpack.

^ I think there are lots of people who would choose to work more years if they were feeling inspired by their work, like if they were working with a mentee who inspired them. I actually see it as a really good thing, and a compliment, though i hear that it may have caused some difficulties with his wife. I would guess that she was feeling a bit insecure, maybe - it sounds like you're attractive and good at what you do, and I'm sure he talked about you with her. But still, idk, to me it sounds like you gave an old man a sense of purpose at the end of his career, which is pretty cool.

Still feel kinda weird about it, especially since the whole idea of retirement was to move closer to their daughter and son-in-law and the grandchildren, of course. They swing through a couple months ago. We were told someone had ordered pizza for us, then he and his wife show up. They were on their way to Virginia to pick up a camper trailer they had bought. Their daughter is… I think two or three years older than me. Anyhow, he said he’d told her and her husband about his coworkers and some of our antics in the shop and he says to me, “So now they’re terrified to meet you”.

charlie61
04-22-2021, 07:46 PM
He wouldn't have done anything that he didn't want to do. Maybe he had his own selfish reasons for putting off retirement, or maybe that guy you overheard was just speculating. It's hard to say. But, i hear you, still hard not to feel taken aback by that info.

Got a message from a customer that reminded me of the time I was at the strip club and after the customer ordered a bottle of wine and proceeded to voluntarily show me his debit, visa, etc bmw cards in his wallet as if I asked him to pull them out. I remember just thinking, "we got an hour and you can spend it how you like." lol

With your background, you probably know better the importance of colleges, coworkers etc for job satisfaction.. ;) The fact that you kept him working by spreading inspiration should be seen as a compliment, nothing else!

I think I have to add more certs to my resume. I'm thinking Security+ but BD is saying I should go for CEH. Even though he's in the IT field, he doesn't get that CEH requires a person to have extensive work experience in the field, is a long, intensive exam and not entry level for someone like me.

If i were you, I'd start at a big company that offers the kind of jobs you want, and start in a lower position... build that relationship, and then get them to pay for your certifications so that you can access the jobs you want at that company. Probably unhelpful as i don't know your current situation, but that's what I've done. There's no way i could've gotten hired into my current job without applying from within the company.

Welp. This is the 3rd hotel that has recognized me just by walking in. I was greeted by my last name. I've only been here three times. I seriously need to figure out another solution for a work location and accidentally hidden hotel express booked it when I planned on never coming back here. I don't want any problems.
