Back in the swing of things

It's Tuesday night, and once again, I'm out at our usual place, after a couple of weeks off due to general ennui and last week's bout of Ganesha's Revenge.  I'm glad we could make it as we're celebrating the birthday of one of our friends.  We gave presents and brought cupcakes, we received a glass of a lovely prosecco, and now I get to sit and relax for a little bit.

Work progresses as usual, although a little slow this week.  I have a run scheduled for tomorrow morning and I think I'll have at least one more guaranteed run by the end of the week, but other than that there's a lot of scrounging for something to do.  I'm not overly concerned because at least I can get my basic forty hours, and while overtime is nice, I'm sure it will come later on.

You may have gathered form reading this blog, but in case you weren't aware, I am a bit of a bonehead.  At work, we have special keycards that we use to get in and out of the building and parking areas.  Because I'm jumping in and out of a truck fairly frequently, the safest place for me to keep my keycard is in my wallet (also because I am so much of a bonehead that I will forget the card at home).  So, today I used the card to get the tractor parked inside the fenced-in area, which meant I had to take my wallet out of my pocket and place it in front of the reader.  I parked the truck, grabbed my stuff, went to the main building to turn in my paperwork, and realized when I went to get in to the building that I left my wallet in the truck.  Great.  Luckily, I was able to get in to the building through the loading dock, and once that was finished I went back in the vain hope I might be able to get back in to the parking area through the pedestrian gate.  No such luck.  I did find, however, that there was a  damaged section of fence that had a hole just big enough for me to fit my big, fat posterior through so I could get to the truck and retrieve my wallet.

Anyway, all is well and I have my wallet and once again there is cake and ice cream and unicorns pooping rainbows across the sky ...

So, for now I will close and hope everyone else's week goes well.
