Today was a good day. I went into the office and got several things accomplished. Had a nice lunch (and breakfast and afternoon snack). Got my monitor (see previous post). But got some bad news too. ‘Member that little (read big) raise I got? Yeah, well my contracting company is not wanting to play nice. My manager’s manager is getting involved. And I’m guessing I may move contracting companies in the near future. Hopefully nothing will change about my position or work at home/part-time status. ‘Cause we can’t be havin’ that.
Tonight I took the girls to eat at McD’s. I wasn’t hungry yet so I helped them eat by making lots of train/plane/helicopter/car sounds to make them eat. And no, I have no clue how to do any of those sounds. The grandma/grandpa next to me with their 8ish/10ish grandchildren kept looking at me like I had 3 heads. But I firmly did not make eye contact and was just happy my kids were actually eating the kids’ meal I bought them.
We made a stop at Wal-Mart on the way home and got some groceries. Nothing else exciting. We’re home now and the girls are watching HSM2 (again) while I sit staring at my new monitor. Doesn’t seem like work/McD’s/Wal-Mart/computer time would all add up to a good day but it has been.
