Ok so I feel like a bumbling idiot today. Seems like I am forgetting everything. Its probably not as bad as I think it is, but I feel like I am frustrating everyone with my questions.

@DaleH1985 - Be patient with yourself. I'm sure your co-workers are. There's always a learning curve.

Seriously, though, so long as you are not asking the same questions over and over again, I'm sure your co-workers will understand.
I feel like that most days. Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

I agree with @CountBoredom. The exact same questions over and over get tedious. I had to stop training a new co-worker because even though I instructed her to take notes while I show here how to do things, she never took notes! After 3 times, I cut her off.
Have a magnificent day, everyone!

Morning everyone. Feeling kinda beat up today ....I pretty much did the same amount of "acorn gathering" on Saturday as I did yesterday ...but yesterday I slept well and hard ...and awoke at least somewhat functional....Did not sleep well last night...Maybe it was the new-ity of my new furry friend ..who slept with me until about 2am...and then decided to leave thru the back cat door. The only other thing I did Sat night was take a nice long hot bath ....Gonna try that again tonight ...There may be something to this "nice long hot bath" thing...'spec when it comes to relaxing tight, over worked muscles .
Another thing I will be watching is my nic intake within a few hours of bedtime...As I understand it..PG is converted by the body into lactic acid ...that's the same stuff that your muscles put out after a workout. And workout enthusiasts take the built up of lactic acid into account ...giving it a day(I believe ) between workouts for the lactic acid to work itself thru. Now. not saying I am going to lay off my vape for a day ...no way ...just saying I worked pretty hard yesterday..and maybe the combo of lactic acid from the work and the added lactic from the PG may have had an effect ... . I was at 3mg last night though ...that doesn't seem like much. (I got my $$ on the long hot bath)
@Fuzzy Thunderbear
If that tower is in/near Astoria then I have climbed it a few times! The view is nice ..had to stop a few times on the climb up all them stairs ) .... the wind up there...not so nice! And I generally do not like paper mill towns... I like cabbage, but that smell ...yuck!
I know the work needs to get done...but walking around on an injured ankle...I don't hafta like it...
We all have bad work days....and stress makes it worse...beating up on yourself makes it worse...being new at your job is sort of a sushi roll of stress...and yes...there's always a learning curve. Take notes or write the answers down if you're not 100% sure you'll remember ...And remember it's Monday ...It's Monday of a Holiday week ... Folks should be in a pretty good mood as we round Wednesday!
@CountBoredom
Somewhere I have some really foggy pics....
Have a plaeasnat day today/tonight , folks!

I hope to try out some of Lannie's creams and gift some to friends....Sure coulda used some of the achy-breaky cream last night!
Oh my. So you are all like "night owls"?? Night owls in a day shifters world, generally. Yes, I hope you can get some naps in ... Sleep disruptions..lack of sleep can start a pretty nasty downward spiral ...for your health, your work performance ..your sanity ...to name a few.
Yes...that's a big good thing...Some people actually love their job. Getting paid to do stuff you love...now there's a concept

Yep. We are natural night owls. Most of us choose to work second or third shift. I am a stay at home right now and can generally sleep when I am able. But yep. Lack of sleep is a health killer. One of the reasons I quit smoking. I have enough stacked against me already. High blood pressure, over weight, depression, anxiety, mood swings, fibromyalgia, and Reynauds syndrome are my issues. Trying to avoid early stroke, heart attack and diabetes. Still not in bed, but hoping for a nap very soon.

I was feeling the need
to pop in and vent a bit... however
after catching up on whats going on..
now i feel selfish and a bit rude... I'm sorry.
this holiday season if starting to feel very ominous.
my heart aches this time of year... especially this week.
i know people are having a tough go of it right now...
and i wish everyone the best...I desperately try not to bring
the mood down. I try to be up-beat for my kids, and my BF.
its easy to appear positive online.. and i work so hard at it.
but sometimes I tire of treading water. Between work(or lack of)
my kids, and my mommaw, and my crap situation right now... im exhausted.
but in truth... the chip i carry is way too large. everyone is
complaining about working too much... i cant get the one i have to give
me a schedule. cant get my grandfather on the line so i can check in at the hospital..
worried about the bills.. and everything else. i try so hard. it does no good. tis the season ...
for depression. but im not allowed. gotta keep things going... for everyone elses sake.
im not allowed..
the statistics .. around this time of year are whats frightful.

Everyday my heart is filled with joy as I enter into our little tree. Knowing my blessings are multiplied by having a branch to sit on, where I am safe and surrounded by people who I can lean on and who I can lift up is one the greatest feeling that I could ever dream of. Every post brought tears to my eyes, but not tears of sadness. They are the tears you cry when your very soul is being touched and you are without words to express the feeling. Thank you all for your words of encouragement and your insights in to how to deal with these difficult firsts. Hubby is on board for a non traditional Thanksgiving so that I don't think about missing mom and the fact that this is the first thanksgiving that I have ever spent without at least some of my kids. My kids are on board with shaking Christmas up a bit...its the first without a call from mom and the first time since James and I got together that we wont be doing my traditional Christmas Eve madness together...With their love and support and my FAMILY here I think maybe just maybe the next month will be full of new traditions and memories...and I think that's EXACTALLY what my mom would want
(Did I tell you guys I think she came to see me two days ago? Had a really strange moment as my son and I got off the phone and if there was a spirit coming through my door it had to be her lol)
There were a few things I wanted to comment on this morning but my tears seem to have washed my mind clean of most thoughts...
Have a blessed day my lovelies

Not rude or selfish at all sweetie!! You are facing so many difficult situations! Its not always easy to appear upbeat online, but you make it LOOK easy. You are working so hard to do so good for your kids and yourself. Look to the good things in your life like your kids and your BF to find your way through these difficult times. tis the season to give thanks for the small blessings. No matter how small. You might not have enough hours at work, but theres a blessing in having a job. Mommaw is ill but she is still with you. The bills need paying but at least you have bills to pay. I'm not one to push joy and smiles (look at my post from last night!) but I have faith in the good that surrounds us when we surround ourselves with good. And my heart tells me you are part of that good. Bring it here, lay it down and then lift yourself up on the love and friendship that you find. And if there is anything ANYTHING that I can do, even if its just be a shoulder then PLEASE PLEASE do not hesitiate. The greatest gift I have in my life is the ability to support my friends and to share the blessings that are all around

Best wishes to you, Amlowe. Modern life can be cruel, mean, and capricious. We must find the joy where we can: in the company of others, a beautiful sunset, a moment of quiet reflection...

Got a new toy today - Tesla Two Sub Mod. It's basically like a mech but has some of the safety features like a regulated. Has a 4500mah internal battery. Put a ST on it and was ok but giving a bit too much power to it for what I like with the STs. Then tried a dripper an that was nice. Still haven't decided what I'll be running on it - most likely a dripper but which one and what build - hmmm.
Still waiting on a couple other things to get here and I'm starting to wonder if they'll ever show up.
Yes we want pictures!
Congratz on the new toy, have fun!
