do you have gas?

Nov 5, 2021

It’s ok if you do — I have gas too. But if you have gas, there’s something you should know… it’s going up — and likely not just a little bit. Due to hurricane damaged rigs in the Gulf and an increase in demand across the world, my gas company wants to prepare me for the fluctuating costs incoming. It’s not like everything else hasn’t gone up and will no doubt continue to rise, but gas is already a pretty big expense for families.

Compound that bit of good news with my already tense mood of late and I might combust. I guess I’m just not used to work being hectic again. Still in my pj’s after 7-hours straight in a chair doing work, a client sends me a photo of his office.

still warm in Texas

My office looks nothing like that. NOTHING like that. Mine is full of dog hair and smells like coffee. Even if I HAD a pool for an office (and it was warm enough to be outside to take a photo), I wouldn’t have time to enjoy it anyway. It’s so crazy busy I can barely keep up. And that, my friends, is when mistakes happen. For example…

I sent my boss/brother a quick text that required an urgent response regarding a meeting. The first line (what shows on the phone’s notification pop-up) of the reply said, “I will not be attending the conference. My eyes got huge and my heart started beating in my throat!

We’ve already gotten paid for crying out loud!

It was then I realized I’d sent the message to someone else and the reply was meant to be funny while letting me know I messed up. Good thing they weren’t in reaching distance or I’d probably be in jail for choking someone out. Considering my current stress level, prison might be a better gig. 😬
