We play Dress Up

Good day today. I was forced to go to work today in what the boss calls Business Sharp. For those who really know me, you know my idea of business casual. Flip Flops and Hiking shorts. Anyways. Bossman has always been there for me and I am trying to squeeze some project management training out of him so I dressed the part.

It was dog and pony show upstairs which means I had to be quiet, no problem as I am really a recluse in my closet of an office sandwiched between the guard office and the elevator. The problem with this all comes from the HVAC system which when it turns creates this odd revibration that sounds identical to an aircraft taking off. The conference was going on and in order avoid foremention 747 taking off they decided to do what? Turn off the AC! I was boiling in my office.

I had a great convo with the apps manager and like a kid in a candy shop I was off to order some expensive software to aid in my web dev work. I made it half way through the process when I realized I ordered the wrong crap. I will have to return the one and start all over again.

Had a little humbling convo with one of the inspectors. We were talking about different things and she brought up how I mentioned my bonus a few months ago. She said it was in bad taste and I even tried to argue my case a bit. But I sucked up my initial desire to tell her what I had done was in jest but she explained about how it had really caused some friction a few years back. She was genuine in what she was saying and sounded almost maternal. I took it for what it was and appreciate it from where it came from. It doesn't hurt that she is in her early sixties and spitting image of my mother. Pride cut down a bit.

Came home. Changed and the three of us went off to shag balls and practice my pitching to kids. It ended up just being the gf and I but it was really fun. I did pull some of my shoulder but that didn't prevent us from laughing, sitting in the grass and discussing things. We even made it over to hit some tennis balls around. They say the relationships that truly last are the ones where you discuss the relationship freely and understand it dynamics.

I am a lucky dude.

Anyways,

Love to travel.
