RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Maniakkid25 - Aug 2nd, 2021 A Digimon TCG tourney, which I know, sounds right up my alley, given my status as a Digimon fanboy. But I'm just sort of like "eh, its whatever." But now I'm kinda committed.

My store said they were going to give everyone a new mask starting from this past weekend so that no one would be without one. RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Mr EliteL - Aug 4th, 2021 Week has been going better as I'm not at work and not been at home, but now I'm back home I'll do...stuff. Had a few quiet days, big day yesterday for a 14 mile walk then back home. Intend to sort some things out like shaving, my phone, gardening, weightlifting then prepare for work again. Friday my cat has an appointment, but there's a possibility it could end badly if the vet goes through with the teeth cleaning but she doesn't wake up from anaesthetic. Or vet says she still needs time before it can happen as it was delayed before from health issues. We'll see but we're going to try it so she has some quality end of life alive, but if she goes she goes. Obviously sad but fingers crossed we'll get her back. RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - ShiraNoMai - Aug 5th, 2021 Hoping everything goes well for you and your kitty! ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Mr EliteL - Aug 8th, 2021 Thanks, Shira. We have for at least another week from Friday as her visit was postponed, and her bout yesterday wasn't good because her age could mean that could happen at any moment, luckily it seemed to be a different reason. She's back to sleeping soundly, trying to get food and jumping up on the dining table to get attention/food like she normally does. ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Nightingale - Aug 8th, 2021 Pretty good, thanks. RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Moonface - Aug 8th, 2021 I hope things turn out okay @Mr EliteL. ![]() @Nightingale: Nice to hear your week was good! ![]() My week was a very mixed bag, what with the board issues at the start of the week along with my head troubles getting more frequent and worse in some cases. On the brighter side, I managed to sign up for a class at university that starts in about two weeks, and I have a neurologist appointment in about 12 days to finally start getting to the bottom of what's going on with my head this past few weeks. RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - ShiraNoMai - Aug 8th, 2021 Glad to hear all the positive news from everyone, despite some hardships falling on Moony (which, in turn, affects me). Been strange working at home again all week but it appears my work woes have been solved and I'll be able to return tomorrow. ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Moonface - Aug 10th, 2021 I've had a sore throat all far today to go along with the stomach issues I mentioned earlier in UCT, so overall my day hasn't been as good as I would've liked but it wasn't terrible either. I just hope I'm not coming down with something like Covid because of the sore throat. ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Mr EliteL - Aug 10th, 2021 Yeesh, take it easy Moony and hope you get better at least from the sore throat and stomach pain. ![]() Day yesterday went OK, about as much as I expected from returning to work, other departments needing help too which I thought was going to happen anyway from the amount of people leaving. Not as fond with the new area/department manager, there's only two now who are both new for the whole store and one store manager wtf, maybe a night one but not sure. Stupid recruiters should've employed/kept the one I actually like, he deserved the spot. ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - ShiraNoMai - Aug 12th, 2021 Hoping things go smoothly from yesterday onward at your store, EL. ![]() Today's been.... fun. Just completely fucked myself over today from the get-go by fucking up yesterday: I completely missed my medication in the morning. I got distracted with something that threw me off my normal routine (I had a new lunch idea) and it made me forget to take them. Had a headache of unknown origin all day, then couldn't sleep properly cuz my allergies started acting up in the middle of the night because of my lack of allergy meds inside me, which led me to not waking up in time for work. Ugh. Cascading things all day. Hoping tomorrow I can rectify and have more control over. The big boss is back in the office and there's an expectation looming overhead ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Moonface - Aug 12th, 2021 Far less productive than I would have liked it to be. I've been trying to set up Summer Meltdown all day but I'm trying to put a few different things in to normal so that it isn't just an exact repeat of last year and it's harder than I expected it to be. ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Mr EliteL - Aug 21st, 2021 I'll just vent for a bit. Ah so two weeks without my section leader came to an end today. Yeah she has tomorrow off but for me my covering shifts ended today. Last week was quite fine other than the weird Thursday being busier than Friday and Saturday. This week started fine kind of, but we've had to help other departments more than usual. Definitely today when it screwed us over 3-4 hours (2 were unnecessary I thought) of not being on our department and it shows what happens as the shopfloor looked shit even as I left at 4. What's more is that we lost our Saturday evening colleague who did 12-9, no one covering and ah it's 5PM now which means there's nobody there now. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ah yes tomorrow I'm visiting an old friend from secondary school I've been meaning to see but covid happened which delayed it, but we finally sorted something out.

My week has been a mixed bag. Slept really badly over the weekend (like, three hours a night) because of anxiety over starting at a new university, and I also injured my knee on Saturday which is still bothering me a little now. I thought my ongoing headaches were starting to become less severe and then yesterday I had an awful migraine come on at about 3pm and I'm still trying to get rid of it now. I do have some really strong painkillers that were given to me for it but they didn't do anything for me, and when I called off work the store manager asked me on the phone if I could just come in later despite me telling her that no medication is even working for me and I've had this shit for 14+ hours. ![]() I'm also having to deal with my university still classifying me as a non-Florida student and expecting me to pay $2000+ for a single class. I'm not paying that unless they promise to refund me when they approve me as a resident. ![]() RE: How Was Your Day/Week? - Mr EliteL - Aug 29th, 2021 @Moonface That's what we get sometimes, we help another department which is usually home shopping or chilled, so whoever's gone over even if it's just one it always guarantees our department goes to shit. Unless we have 4 people in for some reason and we lose one it's fine though. At least here there is a rare occurrence of help appearing but seems like there you don't get any help whatsoever FFS. ![]() Yes, it was Matt. He arranged it because I still don't have a car yet and with covid delaying our plan to meet up again in 2020, finally got to. He has own place now a semi-detached home still Chelmsford with his partner, and they have a baby and cat. Luckily the baby wasn't trouble, the cat was adorable though and we played a few PS1 games. ![]() Also damnit, crap keeps happening to you. Stupid Uni not classing you as a citizen. Hope that headache's stopped now. |
