It's Wednesday, and that means I'm more than halfway through the week. That makes me happy. Even better, my coworkers are all back from vacation and I did my inbox day yesterday, so I only have my own work to do for a change!
I did not get the Team Lead job. A meeting popped up on my schedule for 10:30, and a few minutes later I got a Teams invite, specifying that it was an on camera invite (which is bullshit), so I had to use my Fika to put on a decent shirt and bra. I even brushed my hair. The reasoning this time amounted to "You haven't been a TL, so you cant be a TL." Total horseshit. My teammates who'd applied got the same bullshit excuses. They're totally going to hire people from outside rather than promoting from within.
I do have an interview for another job today. It's a phone interview. I'm not getting too excited about it. The money would be nice, but the chances of me getting it are slim and none.
I woke up at 1am again last night with back spasms, and finally admitted defeat and set up an appointment for next Monday with a back specialist. I don't know that he's going to be able to tell me anything other than "You're getting old and you lift your 230lb father on the regular," but we'll see. Maybe a cortisone shot or something?
Tomorrow, it's off to the office. Ew. It's especially annoying in the heat, because our climate control is not amazing. It's usually humid and hot in there. Last week, when it was nearly 100, I had to take my mask off, because it felt like I couldn't breathe because of the humidity and I was having a panic attack. This week is a little cooler, so we'll see if I can tolerate it.
Last night, once my sister was home, Jess and I went to The Charmery which is a little ice cream parlor in southern Towson. I was a little worried about parking, since it's all on street parking, but it wasn't bad at all. Jess and I got ice cream and ate at one of the tables outside, and then we got some pints to take home for everyone. (I fully plan to fuck up some of the Indonesian Cinnamon today.)
Tonight, we shall play Brindlewood Bay, which seems pretty cool. I haven't finished my character, but apparently there's time during the first game to do that, maybe? I'll probably work on that after work today.
Okay, time to get my ass together and put on pants. Everyone have an awesome Wednesday!
