Order, order in the house please. in other first

During the week a couple of the weekday girls started planning to bring food for everyone on Saturday. I bought a bag of frozen meatballs and planned to take the crock pot and Marinara sauce. Quick, easy, almost a for sure gone..... and if not I had bought liners so clean up would be super easy.....

However, apparently there was not a lot of excitement over “Hey let’s work constant 12 hour shifts go home and try to figure out what I have laying around to feed my co-workers because I have NO time for this today” So, yesterday morning by lunch they were asking me to talk to Jerry… “Will you see if he could go around and ask for contributors for Pizza and order it for us Saturday instead?” I went back to work from lunch a few mins early to ask and he said he’d get it. Now before you get all “awww how nice”I want to tell you he’s buying it out of a fund that Nissan gives the department. It is created for this exact thing.... we get an allotment each month. We haven’t gotten anything since Christmas so..... there is more than enough on it. There are only 7 people (Jerry and Glenn included) on our shift but we should have nearly 20 today with everyone working OT from weekdays.

I rushed back to the break room (while people were still in it) to spread the news. They all think I buttered him up. It only contributes to the general belief that I’m some kinda “pet” and now with Nicole and Misty gone I”m sure I am.... I am the only female on my shift/department now.

Yesterday killed my finger. It’s going to take a long time to heal IF it ever does. With all this overtime.... I’m not wearing it at work because then I can’t do more than half the jobs. In fact I don’t think there is one I can do because of PPE. Not to mention the fact that it really just gets in the way. I’m a big girl I can handle the annoyance of random shocking pain. It’s just a flash here and there. Also, the dull muscle ache from after lunch to whenever it calms down. As soon as I leave I put it back in the brace till I wake up.... the off while I’m getting ready for work and back on for the drive/pre-work chill. In my future I currently don’t see another day off till Memorial Day weekend :( but ya never know. I am a “pet” after all.

This means that house cleaning gets squeezed between dinner and bed or between packing a lunch and eating breakfast. I was thinking pretty hard yesterday about hiring a maid..... and a handyman. The lists for things around the house that need to get done is getting longer. I have no REAL trouble with dishes and laundry.... but the table is a mess going on 2 weeks the catch all counter has no space left for catching.... The bathroom sink looks like someone dumped baking soda in it (which always confuses me I know it has to do with the toothpaste but I never put THAT much on the brush). Everywhere needs a sweep as if Everywhere is a specific place. I have never before thought about hiring a cleaning person so much. I guess I should talk to Rocky about getting a couple to come over and give a quote? While he’s dong the tree quotes?..... The handyman list has been super long since we moved in. Things just aren’t important and Rocky is lazy..... and now with only him .... I need him to get groceries and buy a car.... I feel like I can’t ask too much..... if I ask too much he fails at everything.

I just want order!
