02-05-24 Catching up
I awoke to light snow and grey sky but it was lighter by far than when I left. I was the only one at the office at my end of the building. That was good as I needed to focus and get a lot done, especially working through a weeks worth of email. There were hundreds. I was waiting for confirmation that payroll was ready to run but the client had not confirmed hours were received before he was off for the afternoon. I finally saw that the hours had come through at 6:42 pm. This person has been on payroll for 3 periods now and not one has come through without holding me up. I needed to get it off my plate today as tomorrow is already full. In the world of culling stress, I must say stress around payroll is the worst and I will walk away if I need to. The employee is being irresponsible, but so is their boss by not ensuring the information is in nor giving repercussions.
I came home, had some dinner and started my temperature blanket. It is weir as the first two days in January were unusually warm. I think it will be a good keepsake of an already interesting weather year. I am using the temperatures of where I am si it will include California.
I am a bit concerned about the kids as Severe Weather, an Atmospheric River has hit Southern California, especially San Diego, LA and Anaheim. So far they still have power and are semi-packed in case they have to leave in a hurry as they are on alert. The boys are unnerved and Lukas is very disappointed that Sea World is closed due to the conditions. I just hope they have safe travels to LAX tomorrow and that flights are leaving the next day as it is right on the ocean.
