interesting day. got on the scale this morning and saw a number i have not seen in a while, that was nice. then off to work, my turn for the performance eval.. which went pretty good! got a pay raise that i know i deserve, but didn’t expect to get yet. bumped me up to a financial milestone as far an annual salary is concerned in the process. woot!
flip side would be the unhinged and angry text from j about our upcoming trip. i didn’t do anything other than try to insist he buy lederhosen for oktoberfest… because we’re all wearing them and so is everyone else. well, he apparently will not be wearing lederhosen and he “doesn’t want to hear another word about it.”. i chose not to respond. gonna see him this weekend anyways and we’ll figure it out then. funny, it’s exactly the same tone he took when the pandemic started and i tried to warn him about what was coming, he thought i was a complete lunatic and insisted it was just a cold. then when the world exploded i mentioned one time to him “just a cold huh?” and he lost it on me the same way. like dude… come on…
also, i may or may not have consumed a RIFF Limonade a la Framboise from the SQDC as a celebratory beverage for hitting a financial milestone and then had part of my brain shut down in the middle of trying to support a conversation with a. it did not go well. But no one is angry or anything, i guess it was just awkward and confusing. i should probably explain tomorrow.
