Corporate and site-wide management told us different things about our time entry last week, so some of our paychecks could have 2 to 6 fewer days on them; this day at work has been emotionally draining and I am going home for the night ... need to double-check the numbers, which might be correct, and I might have let my emotions “Carry Me Away,” apparently a song because speech-to-text has capitalized those words.

das Problemkind (Apologies to John Ritter)

With my father, my sister, a black Labrador and an Australian Shepherd (both are energetic breeds), I live and my sister also has ducks, and a year ago on this same date, she decided to clean their living space at eight o’clock on a Friday, a morning when I was trying to sleep before I had to work that afternoon, so our goodwill was short-lived, ending a week after her birthday.

The last day of November, a Saturday, the building was closed and I couldn’t work overtime, which I’d been doing on Saturday the previous weeks, so I assumed it’d be understood that I’d be working today, especially since I was the last three weeks, but my sister had to do the exact same thing this year, too.

With a limited amount of time, and not knowing how long she was going to take, I had to go shower upstairs, much to the annoyance of my father who had to hear the buzzer on the clothes dryer (the same side of the bathroom door as I) three times, or at least he didn’t seem too happy with me when I was leaving, so I must have been the problem child (das Problemkind).

“For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature,
can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,
but no human being can tame the tongue. (James 3:7-9)
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With it, we bless our Lord and Father, and with it,
we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.”

Severe coughing fits during the last hour at work make me wonder if I should’ve taken a lunch break, even though I wasn’t required to, and eaten something. I was coughing and hacking last night, and had to cancel plans with three friends Sunday so I could rest.

“My Magical Hero, Our Great and Powerful Trixie”

Through the years, I have been privileged to know many big-hearted people, who often give more love than they will ever receive in return; one friend spent her Christmas at a hospital with a long-time friend who might have otherwise been mostly alone today.

“When they saw the star, (Matthew 2:10)
they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.”

Every user on Facebook is a ‘friend’ and among them, I have become friends either knowing them in person, recently or sometime in my life; or playing now-defunct Zygna games; or mutual acquaintances, or shared interests; or mutual acquaintances with the same shared interest, like improvised comedy, or The Transformers, or even My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Among the latter category, I met a friend on eBay, another when he made me an administrator of his pony page, another through chat on that pony page, and many mutual friends from him. Among those friends, one who often give more love than they will ever receive in return appears to be leaving Facebook, saying:

I don’t care anymore. ~

No hope will be a gift, to those who never understood the real meaning of my love. ~ Goodbye. ~

While I am not the author, here is a response from her wall:

‘(( I send this poem I have made to thank sis for everything she did for us to make us feel loved, accepted, and happy ^3^ ))

“My Magical Hero”

“On the days I have been down, I felt like my heart was lost, until I met you and your mystic stars, stars that guided me home, a place that makes me feel welcomed, You love of magic has brought me to you, you who shines like a living star itself, no, you shine like the brightest Comet flying above the night sky forever bringing a smile to not only me but also the smiles of many, you always warm my heart and bring happiness to my life, bright star who saved my life, never shine down on me, continue being brighter to my heart for I love you, love you as the hero who saved my soul, Shine bright forever, My eternal magical Hero”

Nightmares can come True (Monday Monday)

This morning, I had a nightmare about work, which ended up coming true. My friend David was describing his nightmare of a job, and Denton had his say:

“9^th year and doing fine. It’s not that deep, find satisfaction in your work, that’s all in your attitude of gratitude. Be happy you have a job and do it to the best of your abilities; have a bad day? say to yourself that today was bad but tomorrow will be better. It is not your work’s job to make you happy, you find happiness in your work.”

My sister also had a birthday today, when I ordered my food I also her some Chinese,
so we should enjoy some goodwill for a little while, a likely a week.

Night of the Living Pharmacist

Yesterday, “The Day of the Doctor,” was an overdue appointment for my cough, suffering for nearly three weeks, but the pharmacy was too busy before work so I had to wait until today.

“More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3-5)”

“A Bridge Too Far (Botch-fest),” as a scenario,
basically repeated itself Monday and I was late to work again.

Everybody’s caught my case

The Day of the Doctor

Honestly, I don’t understand how immune health is impacted by diabetes, yet a connection exists so I finally went to the doctor about my cough. While the attending physician had to leave at 2:00 and an emergency meant no second physician would be there for the rest of the day, they found a way to see me after I had made the appointment Tuesday.

“Thank you for allowing us to care for you today. How likely is it you would recommend AdventHealth Centra Care Shawnee Mission to a friend or colleague? Please reply with a number from 1 to 5. 5 is extremely likely. 1 is not at all likely.”

“Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.
If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he made to us--eternal life. (1 John 2:24-25)”

Apparently, “Roads are BAD! Travel at your own risk,” and Josh called before noon to see if I was okay (Last Sunday, I admitted I was sick when I visited) and awake; he woke me up and I am not feeling well.

Remember when I slept half the day and forgot about my laundry? I bought some diabetic Tussin, an equivalent to Robitussin. Trying to get to taking my blood sugar, I only got outta bed a little bit before 3, and thanks to the DVR, I can watch The Muppet Christmas Carol, which started at one o’clock.

Linked by a friend on Facebook, “A Wish for Wings that Work,” which my mother enjoyed, was followed by “Top 10 Iconic Cartoon Animals,” “Top 10 Classic Disney Animated Characters,” “Top 10 Disney Animated TV Series,” and “HAZBIN HOTEL (PILOT).”

“Berkeley Breathed was exceptionally displeased with the quality of the final product. In an exchange published in The Washington Post, he said to a person trying to find the VHS or DVD version, ‘Hopefully (you will find it) in the rubbish pail. We can do better than that, and we will with an eventual Opus film, but I’m glad you enjoyed it. I presume your family was on speed when they watched it. I would imagine it helps.’”

Last Monday in November (Botch-fest)

Previously in a post, which I have yet to write, I needed to recertify for Income-Driven Student Loan Repayment since I can’t really afford to pay them half of my income every month. I waited too long this year and everything was much more complicated than last year:

Of course, a Federal Student Aid ID (FSA ID) is required to access StudentLoans.gov and I hadn’t gone to that site in a long, long time. If you don’t know your FSA ID then you have to call a number for help, which you have to try back another day after a certain time of the day, as I discovered last week. Of course, I work until midnight every weekday, so I had to wait until the next Monday (today and I went to bed early while I am congested) to try again, and they were very helpful and got that password reset; this was all to log in to click a link to IRS to get my taxes, which didn’t even work because the link wasn’t from the Department of Education. When I screwed up the password on my lender’s site, I had to call my lender again to reset that account. Ultimately, with help from my lender, I learned that none of that was necessary and I should have just followed the link to upload my taxes on my lender’s site.

Two minutes after he called, “I’m at Denny’s. Scott’s on his way. No word from Travis,” was what Luke texted, so Josh and Scott tested some deck mechanics instead.

Don’t Blink (You’re Gonna Miss This)

Since routine maintenance is required and 90000 miles are approaching, Bennigan and I are going to see Frozen 2, I mean, I am getting my car’s oil changed, and then seeing the movie but after laundry.

Thanksgiving is another week away, but Christmas music started on 94.9 KCMO yesterday afternoon, so country songs, while going home from work, “You’re Gonna Miss This,” and later from visiting Josh, “Don’t Blink,” made me think and reflect.

A Bridge Too Far (Botch-fest)

Yes, while feeling personally divested, I had more positive feelings after the team meeting on Thursday, yet I stayed up too late to write to my blog, and my choices continued to cause delays to perpetuate themselves. While the overpass for South 69 Highway was finished Friday, “I couldn’t have made it on time, even if I’d had an airplane.”

I’ve been taking the wrong dosage and going through a prescription faster than insurance had approved refills, so I’ve lost some time this afternoon, trying to get this all straightened out and I’m late to work. Among the four parties, my doctor’s office, the pharmacy, and the insurance, I was the only one who was confused, and I’m not happy with myself

Planning to work 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. I was awake much earlier today than a usual Saturday when a friend posed an interesting question:

“Which came first, the telephone or texting?
Are people who do not text lame?”

Abstractly, I think the text has existed for longer, going all the way back to cave paintings and cuneiform, but the telephone itself had to exist before text messages could be sent on said device. Specifically, the Text Message turned 19 years old about 8 years ago and if someone is lame because they don’t use text messages, then we should urge them to rise up and walk.

“Freaking hilarious! These people (No More Fake Media) blamed the media for the defeat of the Democratic Party last week, in 2010.”

“Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,” should provoke a response from a friend of a decade, who will be delighted, although he was not present, I was able to make a reference to “Enjoy Every Sandwich” by Warren Zevon at work.

The Original Country Gold program, which airs on Saturday nights, has the same episode for the last three weeks, hmm.

Thank goodness, no more Avatar

While I could Sunday, I just couldn’t help a friend as I wanted on Saturday, “yet I look for the light through the pourin’ rain,” which Being Scott Malkinson can obumbrate - a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com

Let's be honest, we're part of each other's lives probably for some Divine Purpose, which only becomes obvious to us when we need each other

“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper,
to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him,
for he dwells with you and will be in you. (John 14:16-17)”

— Kansas City Chiefs (@Chiefs) November 3, 2019

The Kansas City Chiefs lose every time I watch them, so I wasn’t today (Grammarly is telling me that my writing sounds friendly) when Bennigan and I watched “What’s so Good about the Monogatari Series?”, The Italian Job and “My Hero Academia’s ‘Monster Girls’ - What’s in a Waifu?”

While “Ryan Reynolds Congratulates Joker for Beating Deadpool at Box Office, Terminator: Dark Fate’s opening scene made Linda Hamilton cry; Get Woke, Go Broke: Terminator: Dark Fate Bombs At The Box Office, Might Ruin James Cameron’s Trilogy Plans”

“Epstein Suicide: Feds Just Subpoenaed 20 Prison Staff Members
– The LA Post,” so memes work apparently?

Show me potato salad!

“I want to talk about Laser Rangers this coming Saturday. Plans for Thanksgiving and all,” which of course causes me to squee: a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com “Is there a list of what anyone is bringing for today’s dinner? Trying to figure out what to bring. Going to stop at the store to pick something up.”

“I propose for our November Thanksgiving gathering that we show the 90-minute science fiction docudrama ‘The Great Martian War: 1913-1917.’ This is a serious re-imagining of H.G. Wells’s classic novel ‘The War of the Worlds’ as if it happened instead of World War I. This was originally aired by the History Channel only a few times in 2013, at the beginning of the WWI Centennial observance. *It’s not available on DVD or Blu-ray.* However, it can be ordered and downloaded from iTunes. It is also available for watching at the Internet Archive:

Don’t watch it there if we’re going to adopt this as our upcoming Thanksgiving program. With it only being 90 minutes long, this will give us enough time to not only select next year’s program but to have our traditional Thanksgiving dinner.”

“What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)”

CM: Precious Metal by C-Puff

I ONLY JUST REALIZED THAT SCORBUNNY IS A PUN. Scorch+Bunny was obvious and that's all I took from it. Fiery rabbit, that makes sense. But it's also Score+Bunny. Because of the soccer theme. I MIGHT BE THE LAST ONE TO REALIZE THIS, IDK. GDI GAMEFREAK. PUN GAME TOO STRONK.

We watched Blade Runner 2049; this post contains more information.

Winter is here again (Again?), oh lord

Might be difficult to see, but it is #snowing I'm not sure what the ground temperature is so I can't really comment to any adhesion #winter #weather pic.twitter.com/vmMQGUg2PM

— Christopher Hurt (@chris_m_hurt) October 30, 2019

On my way home, the snow didn’t seem to affect East-West routes so bad, so I stuck to the inter-state and stopped at the QuikTrip on Roe Avenue where I bought a wonderful pair of gloves for $2.

(In These Small Hours)

To let out the dogs, I woke up about 2 and ½ hours earlier than usual and ended up speaking to an independent contractor, John, who was installing shingles on a shed at a neighbor’s house to the north.

Always be aware of the direction of the prevailing winds in your area when installing shingles; unless your county is a ‘participating community,’ regardless of its location on a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), your property may not be eligible.

“Love does no wrong to a neighbor; (Romans 13:10)
therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”

After seeing Meet the Robinsons (In These Small Hours) and ParaNorman on Disney XD and a stop at Goodcents Deli Fresh Subs, I visited Bennigan, and watched an episode of Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks? (FUNimation), Sleepwalkers, Addams Family Values, and Best of the Worst: Wheel of the Worst #20.

Time of the Season

My friend Josh did quite a bit of running around yesterday but I was able to catch up with him as Saturday became Sunday and we caught up Dr. Stone.

Following Cars and Toy Story of Terror, Scared Shrekless and Monsters vs Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space were shown on Disney XD today, so I have gotten into the spirit of the Halloween season, I suppose.

Egg White Grill at the End of the Universe

Yesterday, Friday, I mentioned to a cashier that I would likely be back to the sandwich shop today, and I was, and the cashier called me on it today, so I noticed that I was keeping a promise to someone, which I find disturbing.

Because I couldn’t just share “Watch NASA astronauts make history in first all-female spacewalk,” no, I had to say, “neither ‘woman’ nor ‘women’ should be used as an adjective, and such use personally irks me about as much as an apostrophe used to form a plural noun,” so I made myself eleven minutes late.

What I want to know is whether or not Chick-fil-A have breakfast on Saturday, because that “breakfast portion of grilled chicken with a hint of citrus flavor, stacked with freshly cooked egg whites and American cheese, served on a toasted multigrain English muffin” worked out surprisingly well for me on Monday, working a different schedule on Columbus Day.

Last Sunday, “Top 10 Songs You Didn’t Know Were Covers” was among the playlist I was listening to while cleaning, but I have to wonder when I’m going to have had “Enough (like Jennifer Lopez),” and stop eating too many calories and carbohydrates the previous night, don’t get enough sleep and hurt my production?

The Day the Fortnite Stopped and Became Dark

“It was Sunday - what a black Day,” you know, because the Kansas City Chiefs lost at home, and an online multiplayer game, which inspired so many Halloween costumes in “The Scoots (South Park),” is gone forever:

I’m working on a new schedule just today; it’s holiday, but they have hours available, so I’m getting holiday pay, and I’m getting regular hours and pay.

It was Sunday - what a black Day

On Thursday, I scheduled a technician from Consolidated Communications for an appointment on Tuesday, and today I made sure to move furniture and the things stacked on top of furniture out of the way so terminals and things are accessible; I have been playing music videos from youTube all afternoon, so the title was referencing “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson since that was among the songs played from a list which began with “EVERYBODY (Backstreet’s back), Moymoy Palaboy”

I am sorry to hear your having issues with your services. please respond with your account info and the nature of the issues you are experiencing so I can try to get you some help.

Before going to bed at five this morning, I was able to playback the three-part Pony finale, but the one TV that was working with the media gateway has started to have an intermittent signal.

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

“Look up! A full Hunter's Moon will light up the night on Sunday,” and Monday is a federal holiday, and I do receive holiday pay, but hours are available. If I work Monday, my hours on Saturday will be overtime.

(One more thing... The Last Problem)

Laser Rangers tonight features Coco and A Quiet Place in “A Deathly Silence,” and “The Last Problem” will serve as the final episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, about which someone who I follow on Twitter expressed his feelings on Thursday this way:

Nine years of MLP:FiM. Wow. Time does fly, doesn't it. Where were we nine years ago when the show first started?

Personally, I didn't come across the show until two years after. Like I mentioned in that quote RT, November 2012 was when I first gave the show a watch. — Rodrigo Osorio 🍸 (@CityFlyer502) October 11, 2019
