beanside | The moon in the gutter has a story to tell

It's Pride weekend, and I just want to go back to bed. I did not sleep well at all. First, we ate pretty heavy right before bed, and then Boodle was bing a velctro kitty. Jess was also very cuddly last night, so between it all, I had a restless night's sleep. It's okay, I just have Pride to get through. I cancelled my afternoon game, because I just couldn't see rushing from Pride, with all the traffic of the Trans Pride and Pride Block Parties as well as any No Kings rally traffic, managing to get home in under an hour (because we are 100% ubering. Parking is going to be a nightmare. This way, we can finish my shift, walk around, and then go forth and maybe grab food and then go home.

After that, I have nothing planned until it's time to make dinner. And that's just a pork loin with mashed turnips. Then, I can crash out and go to bed while Jess plays Strixhaven.

Tomorrow, I have absolutely no plans. Just going to laze around and nap, I think. I could uber down to the pride festival, or drive down to the big Greek festival, but we'll see.

I had my bimonthly performance review yesterday. As expected, I'm doing well. I had told them that I applied for the supervisor position, and there was much lamenting on not wanting me to leave, but then he said if I get the position, I should push for as much money as I could get. Then, I should wait to sign the offer until they can go to their bosses and see if they could get a counter offer.

If after all the time I spent banging my head trying to advance at IKEA, now I've got people getting into bidding war over me, I'ma laugh.

And on that note, I'm going to start getting myself together for work. Everyone have a super Saturday and be safe!
