Time marches on.
Yesterday was interesting. Hmm. I type that often. Better than “Yesterday was boring”, I suppose.
Anyways. I felt like poo, even after qi gong. I considered taking another sick day as I wasn’t sure if I could make it through a shift. That feeling washed away in the shower however, and I went in.
I was walking up to my building when I heard the fire alarm going off. What an auspicious start! 
The meal services went well enough. I was busy but able to keep up fine. I had some fancy footwork and spins going on, putting pizzas in and pulling them out of the oven.
The staff received some disheartening news regarding our benefits; some things are being cut come the start of the new year. For me, it means that my wife will have to get on her own health insurance through her job, as mine will no longer cover her (as her employer offers it, one of the criteria for coverage now). The rest of it doesn’t affect me. Retirement contributions will be done, but since economic collapse is my retirement plan, I don’t worry about that. My wife and I will have to see if her employer has the better deal on insurance now. Weeeeeee!
On the other hand, all hourly employees are getting a raise start of the year too, and my department qualifies. Another department at my place of employment is sponsoring a “Rowvember” and offering a rower as the prize to whomever rows the most meters during the month. I read it and said that if they want to give me one so bad, I’ll take it. So, rowing challenge for next month! I don’t know who else competes in this, so I’m aiming for at least 250,000 meters.
“No Nut Rowvember”—next month’s challenge.
Gymfather and I had a couple good chats. He’s aware of my T break and is supportive. He’s a great indicator for my internal landscape; if I’m all out of sorts internally, if I’m parked on Recon Street, he’s not inclined to speak to me. I had been taking it personally (and hard) but with all the reflective time I had this past weekend, I learned that if I just detach a bit I’ll be fine and I can continue to reap the benefits of lessons learned. His HD profile is 2/4, and his hermit nature is pronounced.
He has floated the idea of a DnD night with some of our other coworkers, and seems pretty excited to be the Dungeon Master. I was asked if I’d be interested. I’ll go a few times since I played back in high school. Something fun for after work one night a week. It shouldn’t interfere with anything else I have going on.
I had a minor disagreement with my wife after work regarding subs and journaling. She thinks I harp too much on journaling and keeping a listening schedule and should be aware she’s different from me and does things accordingly. I countered with how is she supposed to note progress apart from an ‘in your face’ result without keeping some sort of written record?
My corrections of her lately are my Judgemental nature rearing it’s head. I had that realization last night. Something the THC kept on a tight leash by keeping my energy low. 
Something new to tame, I suppose.
My son’s bench press is up to 205lbs, apparently. He’s going to be a beast if he keeps this up.
I’ll be finding time to row today, likely after work.
New SSX is intriguing, but I’m not instabuying and playing this one. No point at the moment. Maybe after the 6 month T break and on the swing back to hedonism.
PizzaShaman is on the other side of that issue. I wasn’t going to go to the lecture or anything, I was just quite surprised when I turned around at one point and there was the guy at my station! He was taller than I expected, and he was grabbing a couple slices of pineapple pizza. I knew he was getting a catered meal later on, as one of my coworkers was preparing it. I guess lunch was in the cafeteria.
