#stressfulday — Public Fediverse posts

Whew, yesterday was the most stressed I have been in a long time. My Bio 101 that I was supposed to teach at a correctional facility was switched to Env 121.
That means I needed to be certified by my Dean for teaching that. That meant a call and picking through my transcript with a fine toothed comb.
I also need to figure out which textbook to use that fits the course description.
There was also a whole lotta other stuff too. I guess I survived.

It has been one of those days. Everything that has happened today has rubbed me the wrong way. Well… maybe not everything, but most things. Why? Is it because the Bruins were shut out last night? It could be. Is it because the fucking Yankees are in the World Series? It might be.

Here’s hoping the drive home will be a turning point. Granted I will have to stop for gas before I get home, but I am finally going to finish my JRR Tolkien deep dive/audio book re-read. Well… I listened to the Silmarilian (boy, was that rough) and about 15 minutes into tonight’s commute I will complete The Lord of the rings (much better, except for all the singing… ouch). Up next in my Audible queue is Stephen King’s new short story collection. That should be a nice palette cleanser after all the Middle Earth fantasy. I guess I should read The Hobbit too, for completeness, and anything else that Tolkien may have published that I have never read. Naw, let’s get into some King for a while.

Once I get home the plan is to make a quick dinner for me and the love of my life. Burgers (fried on the stove) and fries (fried in the air fryer). Then we’ll sit down in the living room and enjoy a quiet night together making fun of our clinically insane cats. As per usual.

Here’s hoping for a fun, quiet night tonight and a less stressful work day tomorrow.

The first week back at work after a vacation. It has been a rough one. It’s always rough, but this week has been extra rough.

I was hoping it would end quietly and mercifully but I just got asked to join a 3:00pm meeting and it’s going to stress me out and piss me off and I am not looking forward to it.

10 minutes left before I have to join the conference call.

Crud.

Good morning Neverland.
Welcome to Saturday.

Weaning day today. Tilly Vanilli and Baba Yaga are off to do their own thing.

Tilly is being a velociraptor and testing the fences. The teenagers and the boy band have come to see.

Today was a hell of a day. I felt that I just sucked performance wise. It was just not my best day overall.
