Weekend Recap

I worked all day Saturday. I mean all day. I got there at 7am and we got home after 10pm. You are thinking, pfft Tugboat, that's not that terrible. I'm salaried. The more hours I work, in theory the less I get paid. We put in over 40 hours of OT this week. That means I worked twice the time and got half the pay. Something is off with this arrangement. Griping aside, I worked all Saturday. When I got home I stripped off my work gear and climbed into my bed and that was the night. Sunday I started hard with my morning routine. I had work stuff to do to be ready for my HUGE Canada Corn meeting so I was in and out of my home office all day. I managed to watch Bad Moms, a comical and heart-wrenching probe into being a mother in today's world. An examination of the unrealistic expectations put on women today. I was taken out of it most of the time and the emotional moments missed their mark because I can't actually believe that Mila Kunis and Christina Applegate fall prey to such problems. I'm sure they have difficulties in their worlds but with them portraying the leads I was unable to believe the plight the movie was conveying on an emotional level. I was entertained and it took my mind off work for a couple of hours so it served it's purpose but for me didn't resonate to change the momentum of my day. I still recommend it. After this I had high hopes of cutting the lawn for a final time. I didn't do this last fall and allowed the top growth to exceed an appropriate measure. I regretted this plan of attack in the spring when raking away the dead grass was a cumbersome task for me. I couldn't gather the juice to do it. I had a pair of twenty minute naps and snapped a bit with the Sassy Girl to pass the commercial breaks. More or less I wanted to have a wasted day but my sense of responsibility wouldn't let me. I had maybe a half day of leisure and half of work. The laundry got done though and I bought my lunch dishes for the week. Mostly inspired by India. It was not an exciting weekend in the least and I hope to not repeat it again, maybe ever.
