beansideI am so sore this morning. The old chair is kicking my back, especially since I'm doing 8 hours during the day and then another 2 1/2 hours for game. My back is so thoroughly pissed off. On the plus side, both sets of taxes came in this morning, so I put in an order for a new chair. Downside, it may take a few weeks to arrive.
I ordered from a place that refurbishes old chairs--in this case a Steelcase Leap V1. I had to go up on what I was willing to pay by about $200, but if it's as good as it's reputation, it'll be worth it. They primarily work with Steelcase and Herman Miller chairs, which retail for $1300+. Fingers crossed that I like it!
Today is going to be hectic. I've got work from 9-5:30, then at 5:30, I need to dash up to see Dad for a little while. Then, I need to dash home for game at 7:30. At some point, I need to get to the pharmacy for my inhaler, though I may have Jess do that if they're willing. If I had thought about it, I wouldn't have scheduled a game on a night when I have to visit Dad. I'm already having anxiety about making it there and back in time.
My sister seems to be especially loud and annoying this morning. I don't think it's her fault, though. I think I'm just having a combination of misophonia and anxiety. When I get like this, it's almost a physical pain from the stimulus. It should make my work day a lot of fun, though hopefully, I won't have the same reaction to my trainer's voice.
Yesterday was pretty good. I'm training with someone who's been with Hopkins for a few weeks. She's taken the first round of software classes. My classes aren't for a couple weeks yet. But in the interest of teaching us, they're tossing us both on the training software, and showing us a few things in the live environment. The trainer showed us how to pull orders off the email and the virtual fax, and then scan them into the chart, then had us do it, letting us take control of her screen. I got to go first and I kind of kicked ass at it. Considering that it was the first time I'd touched the system, I was very pleased with myself. When we switched to the training environment, I continued to do pretty well. I had a few struggles, but I got there. All in all, I was pleased.
Today, we'll probably do somre more in the training environment, and I think the trainer may have the other trainee control her screen while she takes calls. I'm a few weeks away from doing that, I think.
Aside from work and preparing for Dad's return home, not a whole lot else going on. He had a little fever on Tuesday, but seems to be feeling better yesterday. Hopefully this doesn't screw anything up.
I don't really want him home. It's been so nice having peace and quiet in the house. And I've enjoyed not having to make decisions about his care. I'm going to miss the freedom. And I have no faith that his new attitude will last at home.
Something I like: Pro Wrestling. I have a long history with pro wrestling, dating back to the days of Wrestlemania 3. I kind of have fallen in and out of love with it along the way, but during one of the in love stages, I met my future spouse on a pro wrestling fanfic board. We both shipped the same group of people and they were an amazing writer. Leaving comments led to chatting, led to virtual dating via AOL Messenger, led to phone calls, led to me flying out to Chicago to meet them. We were long distance for the first year or so, and then they transferred to a Baltimore college, and we haven't been apart since. As a result, wrestling will always have a place in my heart. I don't watch much anymore, but I kind of follow along via recaps, and hop on youtube when something exciting happens. Will I ever fall back in love with it again? Dunno? Probably? As the song says:
Still I guess some things we bury
Are just bound to rise again.
And even if the whole world had forgotten,
The song remembers when.
Okay, I believe that I need more coffee and maybe an anti anxiety med. Wishing everyone a lovely Thursday!
