12-05-22 Sleep disruption
I need to get my sleep back to a good cycle. Eating so late last night probably contributed to the terrible sleep I had and the brutal drag myself out of bed morning. I had a payroll to run though so I had to get on with the day. It was like a terrible hang over, my resting bitch face was permanent. My advent gift did make my insides smile though. Rae-Anne does really well at this!
I dropped off my donations at Community Connections and had a short but sweet visit with Erin. They have the best Christmas tree
Back at the office I made my coffee and settled in only to find the internet was worse than ever. I kept trying to run a payroll but the online connection to the software would time out and I would have to keep trying again. This exasperated the frustration that I could have slept in when I finally got it posted after noon. I had to put on my jacket and go stand on the corner outside to take a client call as I could hear them clearly but they could barely hear me. The IT guy was called but wouldn’t be coming until 5. The irony was that the speed test wouldn’t even load up as it was too slow uploading.
I did what I could for the afternoon and then headed to check out the Studio/Stage Door to fulfill my General Contractor duties in Peter’s place while he is on vacation. I texted pics to the contractor showing the best and the worst to confirm that the worst is only the part that will be replaced when the next phase happens but at least covers up the insulation etc. In the meantime. Gosh I miss this kind of work. I always love the construction industry.
From there I headed to Arby’s to grab a meal and celebrate that we made the top 5 in Canada for the Inspiring Smiles Challenge. Ashlée grabbed the reins on this one and made it her legacy for this outlet. She has given her notice for the end of the month and I am proud of her for sticking it out and making good changes to assist her sister. I know it must be tough news for Rae-Anne and the other shift managers especially but it is the best choice for her.
After dinner, I headed back to the GroundFloor for a Board Meeting. It was long but productive and we all agreed to some good changes for next year that I am looking forward to. The internet is fixed now and so much faster that I am actually looking forward to work again tomorrow.
I heard from Nigel today that his favourite team, the Crystal Palace plays in the stadium that the show Ted Lasso was filmed in. I love knowing this! AND, I can’t wait to catch a game with him there someday.
