They say that no man is an island and good things come to those who wait.
Somehow we're always back to Monday. Not sure how that keeps happening. Oh well, it was a nice weekend.
Even work yesterday wasn't bad. Remember I had said our current manager is leaving? Well, yesterday former manager called a handful of us to let us know that we're coming back to him, effective immediately. I'm so happy! Former manager, henceforth known as S, is the best manager I've ever had, and I'm really grateful that I'm going to be back with him.
Aside from that, it was the same old same old. I did my markets, I worked an email that one of the Operational Directors had sent and fixed people's stupidity. I worked pending returns. Nothing exciting. Today, it'll be the pending returns queue, which is fine. It'll give me something to do since the markets won't be coming in until late.
Dad has been on a nostalgia kick, and so much of it is horrible shit that he seems wistful for. Getting his ass beaten by his father, his brothers being little assholes (who mostly grew up into bigger assholes), my mother being "funny," which frequently involved her and her best friend harassing college students.
Looking back as an adult, my mother did some sketchy shit. We have pictures of her sexually harassing young men for the lols. She'd dress sexy and press up against them and dance and at the time it seemed massively entertaining for baby me. Now, looking back, I'm like "wow, that was fucked up." One of their favorite "jokes" when I was little, especially at weddings and funerals when their old gang got together was that one of their friends was my real father. I, being small and anxious, would cry and this was hilarious. It became an ongoing joke for years. She's been dead for six years and I'm still unpacking so much shit.
We are at 5 days left in my 40s, which is weird. I can't believe that I'm almost allowed to join AARP.
I was debating upgrading our rental car for Disney, but apparently prices have gone up a lot. The same rental that I booked for $321 is now $1200. So, we'll be sticking with our small SUV, a Nissan Kicks or Kia Soul most likely.
Our countertop oven seems to have gone up, so that's awesome. I'm going to be cooking in the fry pan and slow cooker for a few days until the new oven shows up. This is kind of obnoxious, but I will deal.
Of course, I have to figure out what I have that I can cook that way in the freezer. I purchased expecting to be able to use the oven. So this could be fun.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get my ass in gear. Have the best Monday you can have!

wow, your dad's nostalgia kick sounds as much fun as mom's airing of (v.v.old) grievances)! I'm so sorry that your parents' version of "funny" was so unfunny, and cruel.
good luck figuring out meals without an oven - hopefully the new one is installed quickly
