An OMGs AM work; I just love getting preached-at while @ work.
Good @ home for lunch to let Toby out.
An HILARIOUS PM work because I purposely brought on a 2nd preaching to get some fuck-off time. A former super was a sucker for conversation involving soccer or cars. Start THAT conversation and one was guaranteed a half hour of fuck-off time; hence, my reason for subjecting myself to a second sermon from my lead.
*hey, it’s my last weekend with PCC, and I just don’t care.

I HAD to immediately shower to get the filth of THAT PLACE off me.

Dinner from frozen and partially from a can. I know, I know, probably loaded with sodium…

Summer Olympic Games in Rio De Janeiro started today https://www.olympic.org/ I don’t know why I’ve never been much interested in the summer games; winter, yes, summer, no. Maybe it’s a bleed-over from my disdain for the summer season.

Well hel, that pretty much shot the evening.

It’s really difficult trying to get to sleep with daylight. I very rarely get to sleep before dusk, or even dark. I don’t know why I even try.

Nighty-night.
