Snow..

It is winter.. But this is the first real accumulation of a more than a dusting. .. So with that.. I get to shovel snow at work..replace the now  broken salt spreader, and buy more salt.. I thought I dropped the corporate credit card in Walmart... Found it inside my jacket.. I was driving my car..until the roads started getting too slick..I still have to rotate my tires. Put the newer good ones on the front.. So..I parked it at work and took the truck. Went and bought a new salt spreader and a new shovel. At the same time... We had issues at work.. 3 days of setup and prep..for today's event..and they went.. Without any of the backup equipment.  So naturally..what they had..failed.. I was able to get one contingency to work..and we survived..
That meant a late dinner..that ended up being Chinese takeout.. And L was still asleep till 10.
I did eventually get most of my chores done..and my own driveway shoveled.. Tomorrow I expect to nix my noon appointment.. My choices are clean the house..work on radios.. And watch TV.
And wait to get called into work for something stupid.

Maybe..it will just be a quiet Sunday..

If the sun comes out..I will probably go get my car..
Probably rotate the tires..  A day late..but.. Ready for the next snow.
I should start saving for a pair of tires.
Maybe after the taxes come in....

I have a solution to my personnel problem.. Gonna hire the new guy from another department.. Part-time.. One or two days a week.
I won't have to tell him about the department changes coming..he can just go back to the other department full-time.

I really need to be gone..before this happens.
Then they can blame it on me.. For not telling anyone they were planning on deleting their jobs.

The stress of knowing this has been on me for months.. I just cannot divulge this info.. It is good that I haven't because it was supposed to happen 3 years ago..and each year since. Maybe it won't happen this year.. I doubt it.

I think I need to just start spending the company's money..buy the stuff needed..and not ask..
We need it..let them figure out what pocket the money comes from..
Spend till someone asks..or till I leave..

That résumé.. Needs work.. I will see if I can work on it today..
This past week by myself at work, has reminded me all of the responsibilities I have.. And then some.
I have been squeezing time here and there to get things done..still working long days..in early..late lunch..if I get lunch..staying late..coming in after hours.. Just a lot..

But all part of the job.

My assistant should be back Tuesday..hopefully.. Not sure how useful he will be.. He has personal stresses..
So.. Keep on doing what I have been..
I am still on 24/7 call.. Since October.
No end in sight..

It is time.
I just have to make the time to do the things I need to do.

Monday is coming..
