Today I was getting ready and realized I was missing a load of laundry. It was still downstairs in the washer. I saw the prism of a migraine just as I walked into work. Our boss's boss came to our morning meeting and I realized I'd left my kit at home.
But I hung up my wet laundry and popped some migraine meds and ran back home and bulldozed through. The meeting ran really long but it was full of good stuff and I had a couple other short meetings and then it was time for lunch! It was a Pollo day and somebody had the sense to get the boss's boss something because he was still meeting with people.
Even though I was told in an email I'd have all day to get references to the hiring supervisor, she started reaching out when I was still juggling my work and trying to process my path. It was a hard conversation that I didn't really want to have in front of my coworkers, but alright. I made my case and she understood, but asked me to think on it for a couple days.
The afternoon got eaten up with more work and some discussion about my current job and its potential. Then I went to go talk to people from Tesla about jobs. The recruiter I talked to said there are often technical writer jobs here, and you don't need the certificate, but that my experience sounded more appropriate for another job that I will be investigating.
Got back home, got ready for kickball. We are really short on players at the end of the season, and we're a little short next season, but some guy walking by agreed to play with us last week, so Sarah texted him. We lost but scored 8 runs, which is most we've gotten in any game. They all happened in the first inning!
But just like in softball, my impressive feats were in the last game. I got a run and I threw the ball at someone and got them out. Then our stand in player said he was short, so four of us went to play in his game. They're in the A league! I got another run, threw someone out, and caught a ball! It bounced off me, but I retrieved it and got the kicker out. And I played on two games! Crazy.
I stopped with Sarah for some street tacos, went home, took an Epsom salt bath, and just finished my prep for tomorrow. Some evil sprite told me I was getting to bed too late, but I thought about today and decided that I did everything I could. 😊
