Yeah, yesterday didn't go according to plan at all.
I ended up not having the house to myself for the entire time, and the people came back much earlier than anticipated.
No film, no store trip, no food prep for Friday evening at work.
I did manage to fix the iPod Mini that had the not fully functional click wheel. I need to buy a new battery for it though,
I really need to pull the film out of the Sprocket Rocket and develop it.
I will, in theory, have the house to myself from about 10am until I have to leave for work. I guess I can work with that.
Wow. Just wow.
All the work I did yesterday was for naught.
Sure, the bathroom drama is under control. Sure, the bike is in decent working order again, but wow.
All for naught.
Had the "pleasure" of taking today off work to clean my house. At least I got the dicey part of the bathroom repainted.
That weird moment when I had a realization at work earlier:
A week from Thursday there really isn't anything else holding me to that place.
A business deal I was transacting with someone since late October closed last week, my pittance of a bonus will arrive in my bank account on Thursday. It's weird that they are doing it quarterly now instead of annually. Yes, the amount is a great deal less than previous, but it will happen a little more frequently.
Suddenly there are, for me, four different points where I can walk away and not feel too cheated by losing out on it instead of one.
Needless to say, I'm tempted. If I end things at work and go to a different schedule, I have the suspicion that things will get back to where they were last year when I was working a couple of daytime shifts a week. Which I don't see myself surviving.
Figured out the PC. Apparently a Windows update changed the boot order and tried to get it to boot an OS that doesn't exist on a drive that isn't even plugged in. I should probably do something about that at some point.
In other news, the cake is done. I'll give it a try tomorrow.
There is a lot more going on in this Moral Star document than I originally thought. Usually it is 3 or 4 entries, and that's about it.
This appears to cover most, if not all, of what I was writing about in 2021, which is odd considering how much actually happened that year. It appears to go from February to November. Not sure how many entries, I'm honestly tempted to print it out and read through all 17 or so pages of it, but only a little tempted.
I added a few entries, but when I went to check on something else, I found that my main PC is not functioning properly. Annoying.
In other news, I'm going to make a "Dr. Pepper Texas Sheet Cake," but it will get a little weird because I don't have a sheet cake pan, so I'm going to have to wing it.
I was thinking that I had something to write here, but nope. Today I ended up at work, despite being a Saturday. Working on a Saturday is not something we usually do anymore, honestly.
Anyway, I will get around to more of the Moral Star posts from the past eventually. I left work, went to Target, picked up a Sam's Club order, went and unloaded groceries and went to Chic-fil-A.
After that, I played with my Cricut machine, but didn't do much more than cut out fabric dinosaurs, because why not?
I was going through an old hard drive a while ago and came across, among other things, a blog document.
It was from 2021 and covers the end of my UPS Store career through to The Sickness.
I also found scans of the handwritten code for a computer game I was trying to make work, along with scans from the original book for a different type of computer.
I should let an AI bot try to update the game for me.
Anyway, I'll go through and add the 2021 entries, which I'll tag "Moral Star Part 2" since that is what the file is, for some reason, named.
I'll also add the game code scans into 2003, where they belong.
