A Day in a Year in a Life / Day 223

11/August/2015, Day 223.  Tuesday.

Another work day ..... ho hum.  Grump thinks he has a miserable job working for a miserable company in a miserable environment with miserable co-workers.  But at least his paycheck pays the rent!

Does anybody REALLY like their job?  Grump thinks his Team Lead actually enjoys what she does, which is wonderful!  Wouldn't it be nice if everybody could like their job?  Grump is just gritting his teeth and putting up with work for the sake of a paycheck, and in hopes that he can last three more years, at which point he is vested.  I wonder if he'll make it?

Have you ever listened to Dan Miller over at the "48 Days" podcast?  Dan is a career coach, and he is an interesting, uplifting fellow to listen to.  If he were to meet Grump, I wonder what he would say to him?  Probabaly, "Suck it up, Buttercup!  You've got a good job!"

Back home, Sweetie and Lola noticed that those accursed deer had been nibbling on our garden plants last night.  We were all away over the weekend, then once home Grump had forgotten to spray Liquid Fence to repel the odious monsters.  A few of our bean plants took a hit, and some okra leaves were nibbled, but all-in-all the damage wasn't too bad.  Two years ago, when we first tried gardening here and the deer found our plants, they could eat them to the ground in one night.

You better believe that Grump sprayed LOTS of Liquid Fence on the garden once he got home from work!

Dinner was rice, veggies from the garden, and tuna, again.  It was basically the same meal as last night, (and what Grump had for lunch today!), but Sweetie seasoned it slightly differently.  We're getting eggplant, bitter melon, string beans, sweet peppers, and okra now.  Yummy yummy!

Clickworker is still performing way below the levels of a few weeks ago.  Grump will be lucky to make $20.00 this week.  I guess the $50 - $60 weeks are a thing of the past?

Goodnight all.
