Tiny Complaints

Tiny complaint turned into a tiny victory - child actually cleaned his room. Stories were read. Work has still not happened. I told myself I was going to do a little at least but here I am on the wrong computer. Two more tabs, then I’ll focus.

Everyone is teleworking and regionals (60/300 of our staff) are unable to make phone calls to clients. Half the cases I’ve pulled today have required client calls. The leads (in between staff and supervisor) or so swamped that this is adding at least twenty minutes into each case that I work today.

Argh.

I have pasta but no tomato-like things to turn into red pasta sauce.

Same, but I do have pesto! But I have failed to find beans in any form, after several attempts.

Uggggggggggh. I finally got kid on the phone with the health care people in Oregon, and after an hour and a half with a representative…they make $124 too much for the Medicaid plan. We’ll have to start over next week with ACA.

Husband put on the movie Gravity which I’ve never seen before. It is way too stressful for me to watch, but now I have to see what happens next. Argh.

In high school I once pointed at a blackboard eraser and couldn’t even remember how to say “thing” and then I shouted “borrador!” because I could apparently only operate in Spanish at that point.

I speak three languages* and at least a few times a day the word I can think of is not in the language I’m speaking.

*Poorly. I am only fluent in one.

My across the street neighbor got a new dog. I assume he got the dog to guard his yard which has a lot of expensive tools, etc in it. I understand his desire for security as our neighborhood is…not the greatest…I don’t agree with the use of a dog for security, but that’s besides the point. Anyway, the dog lives outside 24/7 and barks at everything that breathes within a 10 mile radius. So he’s doing a great job at being a guard dog. But like…when can I sleep? When do they sleep? I’m so tired.

I lose the ability to know words any time it becomes important for me to look smart on demand.

I forgot “computer monitor” yesterday. It became “thing that shows the pictures when I write programs.” I’m a software engineer

My mother in law found out we really like the magnetic close sleepers for the baby and so has been ordering us them off eBay. Yay right? Except every single one (3 so far) are sizes she’s already outgrown :woman_facepalming: How do I convey gratitude but this doesn’t work vibes?
