Survival Day

I woke this morning and was for sure not feeling it. I didn’t get to sleep in the way I wanted and needed to do. I had another poor sleep and was just feeling mentally fatigued this morning. I started my day by taking up another battle with FedEx. Now my last shipment was being re-routed and delayed. I couldn’t have that happen. I need to get this stuff to the final destination so I can move on with my life. I did learn that the previous evening’s issues were resolved and the package was out for delivery. That is where we started. I also skipped breakfast, knowing I had some time mid-morning to take a few minutes for food. Both of those things are not a great start. I got a scan of the a bill of sale for the boat though so now I can start to the transfer of ownership process. I will be glad to have that process completed then I can work on getting it worked on. I’m getting a lot of pressure from the Big T to get it and get it running. He says it is so I’ll be able to use the boat yet this summer but I suspect he has ulterior motives with this pressure. I’ve lived without a boat, I’ll survive if I don’t get it running this year. This is very suspicious, especially considering it’s coming up on a year that his Corvette hasn’t been usable, very suspicious indeed. Anyways, I had a tide turning meeting with my immediate team ahead of lunch that really brought me back to life. My boss encouraged us to take the summer hours that we’re supposed to be taking and I tried. I attempted a nap after lunch but it didn’t take so I just went back to work for a couple of hours. In the end, I stopped working an hour sooner than normal. But then I fired my machine back up to try and get a status report on that last shipment. FedEx is worse everyday at doing the simple parts of their job. I guess I’ll find out later. I called the customer to warn them and they were not concerned about it. I guess I shouldn’t be more concerned than them in this case but I really want it all to be wrapped up, it’s gone on for way too long. It’s going to be a quiet night, hopefully I get the full sleep I’ve been craving and I can get back down to it tomorrow.
