Messy day

You know one of those days where everything just seems messy and twisted?

This is one of those days. 

It started with me - of course being late for work- again- due to biological issues. Not going into details. And of course Mrs Robinson upstairs banging on walls until 12 PM. So sleep deprived and focus-wise just out of order. Not even coffee helps to get the brain up and function. So I head off for work about the time I supposed to be at work already. And about 1 km down the road (have 6,6 km to work), I realise I might have forgotten my mobile-phone. Stop in a downhill slope, because everything to work is downhill from where we live. I stop and search through my stuff- no phone. Darn! Gotta go back and look at home. No phone at home. So, it must still be somewhere in my workbag, that is still in the package-holder on the bike. Runs downstairs, band finds the phone at the bottom of my bag. Like how did it end up there? I always put my phone in last, so it stays on top, since it might be needed in emergencies. 

Anyways, rolling downhill, which is quite nice, especially now in spring-time. Arrives 30 minutes late for work- oops!. Computer is super-slow, it's an old one from 2013, but hey, why invest in new equipment for your employees when the old on is still running, right? Anyway, manage to get it starting. And have to spend three (3) hours making it load correct not-very-relevant-for-the-job-information. Not kidding. Three hours where nothing on my computer would do as it supposed to. So I gave up. 

Unfortunately my flavor of autism is to try and try again in so many different ways until I get things done the way I imagined. Like trying to figure out how to make the computer work for three hours. Not really that productive, I admit I could have called quits earlier and use that time in a better way, but no. My autism want to see things solved before letting go. But since I only work 4 hours, I really didn't have a choice. I had to let go and give up. I'm not doing overtime because I don't get paid for it. I walk away as soon as I can. However, the one hour left got consumed by things I should have done earlier and annoyance of a missed phone-call. I called back, it turned out to be a company delivering medical packages and of course I called them two minutes after closing time at 12:00. They are supposed to deliver a package tomorrow, Friday- not a Thursday-, and now I had to stress back home in case they delivered today while I wasn't at home. If they had left anything outside the door, that package would be gone before I get home and whoever stealing packages would not only get very private stuff home, they would also have my name, adress, social security number and phone number, as well as medical information. Not something I'd like anyone to have. 

So I rushed home as fast as I could, uphill on a bike. When home, I saw no package and no information. I hope by God nothing has ended up in the wrong hands. I can't get hold of the company until tomorrow and my autism kind of freaked out by them calling on a Thursday when I didn't expect anything until Friday. With this mess, I missed to go by the store, which I had planned. So now I have to figure out when to go to the store, since I have other things planned that needs to be done today. Like plans that involves other people and their time-schedules. Anyway, when I realised that no package was delivered (hopefully) by my door or hopefully not stolen by my neighbours, I decided to let the cats out. And of course they suddenly got freaked out by the kids outside and hence tried to run back up to our apartment (second floor). I had to catch them and force them to go out. I also decided to deal with some stuff on my computer- yes the slow one- and surprise, surprise- it's still slow and took forever to do anything, but now it's done. 

From the bright side, I got a hell of an exercise from rushing home uphill on a bike. It's sunny and not super cold outside, which is nice. We've been living in darkness for so long one kind of forgets how nice the light is. I also do get time to put trash in the local trash-bins and write this. Maybe i manage to buy the groceries in between stuff today or tomorrow. I don't know we'll see. 

Anyway, hope ya'll have a good day and I just hope and pray that the rest of the day goes more smoothly.
