The work schedule is getting changed once again. Most likely it's going to be changed to switching from days one week to nights the next week and back. Time to move out of the country.
 
I mean, it also included finishing up cleaning the bathroom DH worked on last night (one room completely done!), emptying two more kitchen drawers, some laundry, dishes, random packing, and taking a carload up to the house. Going to take another now. But yeah, I got tired.

Scrub those toilets.
 
The listening thing, it was probably mutual.

I didn't talk much. They were talking about tax stuff and I've told them that I don't care about that stuff, I have no desire to learn about that stuff and I usually black out when they try talking to me about it. Yet they continue to do so.
 
So 00 is challenging Pants claim to the title of Most Awesomely Arrogant Worker of RT. How are we/they going to resolve this? Like the Highlander, there can be only one!

Fake a heart attack. If neither calls 911, fire them for not being a company man. If one of them calls, fire the other one for not being a company man. If both rush off to call, at least they'll have stopped talking.

If one of them insists on giving you extended mouth to mouth, file a sexual harassment complaint and have him fired....or sit back and enjoy it if you're into that sorta thing.

Ehh...no contest there, head on over to the 'how do you motivate yourself?' thread where pantsy's all "well, I don't bother doing anything unless I can be the best at it, murr, nurr, durr, durr". I mean, in this instance, I was awesome. Pretty awesome, considering how several people had been racking their brain buckets for some time trying to figure out what's up, and I'm all "hmm, let me see <pause>...that's what's up!" However, I'm also humble enough to admit that yesterday, there was something where I felt dumb. But, over time, the 'I felt dumb' turn into "oh, I know dat now".

I didn't say that! I said I want to be the best at everything I do. Why would I only want to do enough to be middle of the pack? I want to win. Every time.

Because some things aren't that important? You wipe your behind after pooping, do you strive to be the best butt wiper in the world? I make sausage, and I enjoy making a good sausage, but I'm not going to spend time thinking about where I rank compared to others, if I enjoy my handiwork, that's good enough. Needing to be 'the best' indicates a need to be superior to others, which isn't always bad, but a demand for it in every instance is unhealthy.

I think you're over thinking it, Doubs. I don't literally mean everything. That would be impossible. But I do mean it in everything I actually care about.

I enjoy golfing, but I'll always be awful at it, but that doesn't bother me because I don't really care about it. I don't feel golfing is a defining trait of myself.
 
Sitting on my deck and observing the rabbit across the street that would soon be dead if not for laws on discharging firearms in GV. Well, that and the close packed houses and neighbors. :)

Oh, I'm just having fun witcha while programming...but, so, then...everything you actually care about. So how do you define that which you care about? I mean, you enjoy golfing, but you don't really care about it...so what makes something a defining trait about pants?

Similarly, let's say this thing with you and nickels works out, and you're again a spouse...I'd think that'd be a defining trait of you, you would be a spouse. So you would need to be the best spouse, winning the contest of how awesome of a spouse one is. Yet, your job is also a defining trait, so you'd want to be the best regional manager there is, but what happens when those two conflict? Putting in more hours at work would likely make you a better manager, but a worse spouse. As well, if you win the contest of the best spouse in the whole world, that would make your wife at best, the second best spouse in the world, and certainly a worse spouse than you...do you tell her that if she asks? Either you insult her, or lie to her, that's your choices if you really are the best spouse in the world.
 
started the self-cleaning doohickey.


Realized an hour in we left the racks in. ****. Had to shut it off and now wait for it to cool so we can unlock and take them out. Not sure we'll run it yet tonight, says it needs like four hours to do so.
