Last Friday Here

I went to bed far too late last night and for no absolute reason. I think when I finally turned off the tv, it was after 12:30 am. I woke up this morning tired, so I set the alarm to snooze for 30 min. I got a text after 20 min, so I was basically awake after that. My binge yesterday made me go up another lb, but I am back on track today. I’ve had about 64 oz of water so far and it’s before noon. Anyway. So I got ready and went to walk to the bus. I really should get better at checking the times, but since I live on a busy street, the buses are usually running fairly one after another, so I usually don’t have to wait too long. I was walking to the stop this morning when the bus was there stopped at the red light before where the actual stop was. I knew I had to haul ass through the crosswalk to catch this bus. As I approached the red light, the driver already had the door open for me. I thanked him and he said, “I know my regulars!” So I put my stuff down then paid my fare. That was really nice for him to do. I think he was also the driver that saw me almost fall getting onto the bus one morning that I was totally out of it, got off the bus thinking it was my stop, looked up and my stop was the next one. I don’t know. Sometimes it be like that. Once I got to the stop, I thanked him again and he said, ‘see you Monday!’  Really nice way to start the day. I got on the train and pulled out the book I was supposed to have read by today and started it. I hate that I’ve had to read these books because honestly, I haven’t cared for the writing styles of most of these authors. Maybe 3 or so I actually enjoyed. Oh well.

When I got to site, they were having a meeting in the DME side because of a bad review a customer posted to google last weekend. Thank God I wasn’t here for that. But the meeting was with the boss and it was almost like he was talking to children at first. The meeting lasted about 15 min, and from then on, I’ve been sitting in this office finishing up my book because I have to present the Paleo diet to my preceptor today. Joy.

I went in to ask when he wanted me to present, and he said whenever. So since I had to focus on the one book, I kind of didn’t read the other one. In previous weeks, he has led the discussions. Well, he kept asking me questions about the one I hadn’t read, so I looked like an idiot. That didn’t feel great. But I blew it out of the water on the Paleo book...well at least I would have if he hadn’t answered texts, phone calls, and opened all the mail while I was speaking. It was really disrespectful, but who am I? I am not allowed to say anything. Anyway. After that, I shadowed the tech a while more and since they were closing at 5, I left to catch the 4:30 train, so I wouldn’t have to wait until 5:30.

I got home and wanted to nap in the worst way. We were going out to dinner for my roommate’s sister’s bday, but I really didn’t have the energy to get any kind of dolled up. I relaxed for a few hours and then got ready and was ready at the time we agreed on. We got to the restaurant on time and were the first ones there. The others showed up a few min later. Now I have been to this place before and the last time, it was so crowded that it was hard to get to our table. This place is so fucking expensive, for just ok food and it being uncomfortably crowded. And this time...it was hot too. Terrible experience. But anyway. I was being a good sport. So I wanted to go home and play Just Dance for a bit. I decided I wanted a drink (and others were happy I drank too) so we played for a while, I killed it, did some interesting texting, and went to bed.
