Hello?

Hello. I am so very tired on a humpday Wednesday. I slept well last night, but I could not get enough sleep. I’m sure I went to bed later than I planned, which more than likely explains why I am so tired. Had a dream where I was in the Port Authority following a friend from the past, Denise Donnell, with her husband Bobby, who was carrying Denise in his arms. I knew it was Denise when I spied her bald spot, but in real life, when I last saw her, she did not have a bald spot.

But this was a dream that could not be explained. Then the alarm clock went off, and they went their way, and I woke up. Bill was on the road when I shuffled around the apartment. I’ve been reading ‘The Bluest Eye’ by Toni Morrison, and I had been enjoying it somewhat, though by the end, which I reached today, it had taken a turn which I sort of expected and yet still took me by surprise. It was not what I should have read before heading into work. Much too heavy for me.

And work has been good so far on this, the third day. My supervisor, Yance, was working at another location, so it was just me and the girls, Kimberly and Janice. I worked with Kimberly mainly on the first day, and we got along fine. Yance mentioned that I was there this week to mainly observe the working methods.

Janice was out on the first day but in the office for the second and third days. This onboarding process has been fine in the office. I’ve met about half a dozen co-workers, though I did forget a meeting this afternoon, which probably did not put me in a good light. The woman I was meeting with was OK with my absentmindedness, and a rescheduling is going to happen at some point.

The staffing agency that has placed me with the company has its own onboarding process. That is more of an online thing, which requires watching videos of the CEO telling his life story as he looks off camera and talks. I’ll be watching that onboarding process tomorrow at work with headphones on.

Janice will be out, and it will be me and Kimberly again, with Yance floating around the office. That was not a put down, more of a description of what Yance does. But I am so tired right now. I think I could fall asleep right now, but the sun is still out and I do not want to wake up at 4:00 AM rarin’ to go.

Bill is on the road, finishing up today’s road trip, and Mike is elsewhere, not answering his phone. Perhaps he having a good time with the company at his crib. I would rather hear about it instead of looking at his photos when he posts them online.

That did take me by surprise, I must say, when I saw his posted photos. He said it didn’t work out with this guy from Massachusetts. I must have been a drag for the Massachusetts man to come so far and to possibly not come after all.
