The Day After

No one wants to work the day after Thanksgiving,
especially those in retail,
but I-I forgot to request a day off so I was there at the office.

Not tonight, I'm tired and I have a headache

— Christopher Hurt (@chris_m_hurt) November 25, 2017

My body did not want to be there;
I had aches and pains and emotional turbulence,
but the evening ended better than it started.

Knowing full well that we didn’t have to work either Saturday or Sunday, a female colleague said, “I’m so angry about having to be here today, I’m not going to come in the next two days; that’ll piss ‘em off! How’s that sound to you?”

“I wouldn’t want to do anything to upset them,” recently finding myself in an ‘Optimal Situation,’ I replied, “I’m motivated by fear and guilt,” so this first time I had said anything in front of another girl I have had my eye on was made more awkward.

Facehoof by FeduMedu

Ah, geez. Rick (the following Japanese theme song is rather raucous), “Kill Me, Baby; Baby, please kill me,” while I concede to a refreshing naivete (seriously, ‘skunkweed’ was something I had never heard of nor smelled until I was standing outside my twentieth high school reunion), I have moments of painful awkwardness which I frequently overthink later, especially when talking at the girl I like.

Because of where I work and the nature of the work, I cannot mention anyone with whom I work, “The names have been changed to protect the innocent,” so The Girl Next Door, as confusing as that is, literally sits next to me and I have spoken to her awkwardly and recently two times in as many months.

“Stale zaniness 063,” where I was concerned about when seating would be rearranged, was also a day I suggested that I could put a larger pony at desk (I make no secret about my affinity for My Little Pony) so she could find my new location. In fact, I realize she is not likely to seek me out and I start nearly all of our converstaions.

The second time was Tuesday night. Besides Being Scott Malkinson,
I didn’t sleep well, had soda instead of coffee, so I was tired and out of sorts.

While I was in training, she broke up with someone at work and cried for three days, according to my colleagues. She has since found someone new and she and her former boyfriend had a nice conversation.
I asked deliriously, “So are you two are a thing?”
“What, friends?”

In fact, I had forgotten that he has had a new girlfriend for months,
then I apologized, labeling my inquiry, “cringy,”
so “Kill Me, Baby; Baby, please kill me.”

“In the next three seconds, to grant him eternal rest, which was more than life ever gave to Dana Plato,” said the villainess.
I was there, watching; the door to the secret chamber was not closing fast enough; the boy from Jurassic Park had magically become a golden phoenix, which looked like Terrorsaur from Beast Wars, and bit down on my right shoulder which is sore.

In the second dream, I would not let myself hear what my mother was saying because I could not get around how she could be living. There is to be pizza tonight at our team meeting.

Yesterday, I visited my friend David in hospital, where doctors determined he was going to need surgery which they scheduled for this morning at 8 o’clock.

Join Us? :) by Nemo2D

Despite my best efforts, I was not able to visit David ahead of the procedure because they moved a half hour early which was when I was only waking up.

Within two hours, David was moved to a room for recovery and was returned to his room an hour later, when I met his biological father and the wife of his biological father, then I had left on an errand:

Three weeks ago, Ronni and I visited David for a game night. We bought a standard red folding chair and a black stackable banquet chair with us, leaving the banquet chair. Recently, a brown swiving chair that David had had for some time broke, so I went to pick up the other black chair in case his father and wife wanted to sit when they visit.

David remains at the hospital tonight for recovery and observation. He was groggy when I spoke with him for a half hour before delivering the chair to his place. I returned his apartment keys before I said good day to let him rest.

A Friend in Deed

Someone was calling for my sister, but they called me and woke me up out of a solid sleep.

Ah, geez, Rick, why you got to go and wake me up at quarter after 10 in the morning after I’ve only been asleep for 5 hours and all my day off, no less?

“I’m both sick of and sick to my stomach.
Actually thinking of going to the E.R.”

Ronni and I were visiting him and he seems in good spirits, his hospital gown is green, and I left to pick up three things from his apartment: his phone charger, headphones, and ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’

As I was leaving work Tuesday night, I heard a song by Taylor Swift whose title is shared with this post (partly sounded like Kesha to be redeemed by some UKF Dubstep). I wasn’t sure if I was going to get a chance to nap before I return to work Wednesday and since I’d been awake since 10 that morning and went to bed at 4 in the morning, I could certainly use one.

From the medical professional I’ve been told bronchitis is viral and will pass within 3 weeks, if not it could become pneumonia, so I’m taking this seriously.

Why am I awake at this hour? On Friday, a friend arranged a ride with me to work this morning. I also did not vote in advance, and I just had a coffee to which I added neither sugar nor cream.

By virtue of its being the first Tuesday in November, “Politics is just about virtue signaling for or against Trump now,” today is an important anniversary, “Funny Reactions to Donald Trump's Win,” the anniversary of when Hillary Clinton was defeated for president.

“As perfect a Thursday,” while a useful title, does not really capture how good work was for me when I returned to productivity after I went home sick the previous evening, “Look who’s back, and feeling prime!”

Necessary to illustrate how I feel as I’m not very good at getting things started, backdating this post is not anything I like doing and Being Scott Malkinson means  my health and any professional success are inextricably bound together. I eat two bananas a day now; they give me energy and manage my moodiness.

Do you like bananas? by Moonbrony

Plantains are like Potatoes?

From a book by Susan Jacoby on anti-intellectualism, which I once read on audio cd, “Video culture has triumphed over print culture,” and I become aware of some concepts by watching Family Guy:

When Lois first says “Plantain,” and until I bought one today I spelled the fruit like the name of the favored beverage of astronauts. During a discussion at lunch, I also learned they are a starch like potatoes and cooked similarly in many cultures.

Because a video from Bright Side told me a banana can lift your mood, my intention was to buy a banana, which was priced by the pound and not individually, so I figured a plantain was close.

“Politics is just about virtue signaling for or against Trump now,” so either side is just going to use the tragic events of the day, “8 dead, others hurt after motorist drives onto NY bike path; Gunman ‘nonchalantly’ opens fire in Colorado Walmart, killing three, police say,” and I have no answer.
