Sunday on the way home from Costco we passed by Roasters in Sandy Springs. I pointed it out to Ceil, but she didn’t seem interested. On that same trip I noticed that how my plant is on Old Peachtree. As you head west Old Peachtree changes to Spaulding, which forks into Mt Vernon, which later forks into Johnson Ferry – which crosses Hwy 120, the road my street deadends into. I’m a nerd for stuff like that.
After CiCi’s for lunch on Monday, I worked till 630, then only ate a few cookies for supper. Watched the Grizzlies vs Celtics, The Neighborhood, and Elsbeth. Forgot to post to my blog – the second straight month I forgot to do so on the last day of the month. Hate it when I do that.
Tuesday: skipped the gym. Left work at 540. Swung by Taco Bell for their dollar deal of the week, a tiny toasted chicken taco that normally costs $3.75. Hardly worth the dollar, but it ate. Ceil fixed grass fed steak and organically grown peppers, jasmine rice, and an organic salad. Not much on TV but I followed the Grizzlies on my phone.
A&C went to Taqueria Tuesday night, and ate at the bar. Rich Morris was working that station, so A&C got to chat with him. I sent Anna the old photo of Rich and Lang visiting me and Ceil at the hospital when Will was born.
Wednesday: up early to hit the gym. Stopped by Cozy Coop on the way to work. They have a weekday deal where you get a free bacon, egg, & cheese biscuit with any purchase, so I bought a plain biscuit as well. Better than McDonalds or Wendys. If I stopped by there every morning I would die. Interesting that bacon egg & cheese biscuits were about the same price as McDonalds. Thought they’d be more expensive.
With two team members out, the boss brought in lunch from the Duluth Diner. I had a delicious chicken cheesesteak. One coworker is off this week, so I’ve got extra work to do. Also supposed to help my boss with a project. Another coworker’s wife has covid. They seem to get covid at least once a year, even though they get annual flu shots and booster vaccines. I have yet to get covid, though I never get flu shots and haven’t received any booster vaccines (my secret: vitamins, cross training, eating mostly fresh, non-processed food, and plenty of rest/sleep). Hope I don’t jinx myself.
Our lobby at work has a new video playing, describing what we do in Norcross. There’s a super short clip of me. Some fun facts: 300 employees, 800,000 square feet of warehouse space, 100+ trucks coming and going each day. We ship 1,500,000 pounds of steel a day. We process metal on 3 burn tables, 12 saws, 9 tube lasers, 3 tube mills, 2 tube benders, 2 cut to length lines, 2 plate saws, 2 shears, and a slitter. Stop by and I’ll take you on a tour. Worth the trip just to meet Roger.
Studied hard for small group. Our teacher is sick, so I had to lead. Big shoes to fill. Stay tuned for what happened.
Thursday: cashed in the Wendy's double stack deal.
Now reading the Malcolm Gladwell book “Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering”. Next I guess I’ll have to go back and read Tipping Point. Learned that at one point in history the cheetah population was very likely reduced down to a single pregnant female. Her offspring were forced to mate with each other, so all cheetahs in the world today have the same common ancestor.
