definitely not invested

being on-call is the perfect antidote for what remained of the previous week's positivity. i almost handed in my notice yesterday morning when it looked like i was about to be assigned to customer service because our customer service team didn't show up. i'm fervently praying for a quiet weekend.

i was effectively alone in the office yesterday. i struggled to be functional in spite of the usual high levels of context switching. then i rushed off in the afternoon to take mr smear from school to the dental hygienist.

it was a surprisingly good experience, although apparently mr smear doesn't chew enough. 

this morning was the usual big shopping run. i got home with sore arms. 

we picked up mr smear, and learned that he'd traumatized his teacher and a few of the kids in his class by falling over and playing dead after eating some oreos. we had to explain that crying wolf isn't funny in spite of the fact that we were struggling to hide our amusement while doing so... 

i did a quick mission to pick up a couple of things from our local dollar store, then spent the afternoon resting or playing video games with mr smear. 

sailor joined us for a a nice dinner, we've all enjoyed a late night, and i'm done now.
