Last Few Weeks

We got our 1st covid shot yesterday. Other than a sore arm from shot, no issues.
A small stress has been relieved. Once we get the 2nd shot….that would be very nice

One other good thing, the current word press blog update sends out a notice which plugin is creating the issue, and crashing the site, so you aren’t wandering around trying to delete things hoping that it is the issue. And it gives you a link do to it in recovery mode.

So after almost 2yrs years it is back online. I did do a few posts from what I did on facebook the last few months….they have been post dated to when I originally wrote them.

Looks like some of my plugins no longer work, many are outdated and haven’t been updated in years. Didn’t dawn on me that I’ve had my blog that long.

Like one of them is no longer updating my tweets into a daily blog post. But it may be that is good thing. My blog just became a bunch of tweet blogs over the years…..so I found a plugin that works, that updates a side bar with my tweets/retweets.

It feels good to have it back up…..I miss my getting my thoughts out on my blog….it may be public, but it is like a diary of venting.

It has been a rough few weeks in general.

My work…..I just don’t know what I’m suppose to be doing in this transition. It got to the point that I emailed my district manager and asked him. Then I told him that was the information that the market install teams have been needing and that the lack of communication has been horrible on moral and we don’t feel appreciated.
I’m trying to pull myself out of installs. Because how am I going to learn my new position and be able to do it my new position if I can’t get out of my old position?

But then they don’t know what they are doing with me.

At first we were going to have me a partial department manager of millworks, then being a floating specialty manager. Then I was going to be a full time millworks supervisory. Then our exterior sales specialist talked my SASM and SM into having it where I’m doing 20hrs a week working with him, doing presale stuff. Then my SASM’s conference call talked about keeping an install coordinator position. Doing what I’m doing now, managing the specialists on making sure that things are ordered/pulled, arranging the deliveries of installs, keeping the install bays organized.

So right now, I have no idea what is going to happen to me.

To balance all the stress from work, as I run around freaking out. Both my SASM and my SM thanked me for what I do. My SASM stated that they wouldn’t be getting through it without me. That they depend on me.
So that felt good. Because I just feel like I can’t keep up and that I’m falling behind.

Weekend So Far

This weekend has been weird in that I’ve stayed in bed until 6-7….big sleep in for me.But I did get up about 0445 and ended up logging on to walgreens and there was appointments for the Covid shot!!

I was waiting for that……they are only doing 5 days out and I didn’t know when it reset for the next day.We have appointments!!!! I’m very pleased by that.

Our first shot is next Friday. They start at 1845 between the appointments for both of us. The 2nd shot is Friday May 7th at 1745

Right now I feel a big sense of relief on just getting the appointments, I know I’ll feel better once we at least get the 1st shot.

I’ve requested the day after the 2nd shot off as a sick day. What I’ve read if you get any side effects, it is after the 2nd. That it is when you may feel the antibodies at work, so may feel like the flu.

I have a lot going on in my head about my future at work and how it is going to effect us. Stressful to say the least.It is much harder on the decisions now than 20yrs ago, you really think about your benefits…..insurance, because we using it a hell lot more than we use to.

I think I’ll go for my walk and mull things over….don’t know if it will help, but it is worth a shot.

My Blog Is Back!!!

WordPress had added a feature to allow login from recovery mode and it tells you what plugin is messing it up. So it allowed me to get in there and to deactivate and delete it. This blog needs a lot of work, but at least it is back up.

Now If I can figure out how to get our travel blog back up

I’ll take that as a small win =)
