beansideAnother day, another day of work. I've got two markets to do this morning at least, so we'll see how those are. I did some of the one last night, but I just couldn't quite get myself in gear, since it didn't come in until 3pm. So, that'll be my morning. It's mostly the same shit over and over again. My coworker is out today, so I'll be doing his stuff too. I won't do his Texas market because it is too big along with mine, but I'll get the rest done.
Yesterday, I worked on the inbox a bit while I waited for my markets to come in. The person who normally works it was out, and the secondary person was promoted off our team. (She got the job I wanted, which sort of stung a little, I will admit since I didn't even get an interview.)
My manager is off this week, so I won't have anyone randomly calling me, though I do have a meeting today and tomorrow. I know tomorrow is part of the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion committee, but I have no clue what today is. I sent an email to our People and Culture group asking, but no answer yet. I'm kind of assuming it was sent in error, but I need it fixed either way.
Got a bunch of groceries from Walmart yesterday. The workers continue to be surprised at being tipped, which just makes me sad. They just saved me hours of walking around a warm store and spending almost as long in a hellscape of a line. Why wouldn't I tip?
I ordered some KN95 masks for vacation. I decided that it made sense to have a better mask than just cloth, especially since VA positivity rate is a little higher than MD. I'm still hoping for a mask mandate by the time we go, since VA has a democratic governor. I've been watching videos made in the park, and it seems like a lot of people are wearing masks again on their own, which makes me happy.
Apparently, in a discussion with Jess last night, my sister admitted that my mother was harder on me than on her, and that she felt like she had to play referee when she got out and out nasty. I usually had already fled downstairs when that happened, so I had no idea. She also said that she felt like all of our mental health improved when she died. Which is very true, but I wasn't expecting that. As I said to Jess, I feel a little bad that my main emotion surrounding her death was relief. There was definitely grief, that still occasionally pops up, but mostly I was just glad not to have to deal with her shit any more. She'd always been prone disregarding boundaries, but the last couple of years, she was outright abusive. More nights than not involved me going downstairs in tears. And her utter disdain for Dad had started to poison all our relationships with him.
Okay, enough with the deep thoughts. I'm not good at them. It's about time to slam some more coffee and get myself in the mindset for work. Everyone have a good Wednesday!
