I had a feeling that my supervisors were going to be upset at me for remembering that I was a career employee of over 10 years and not a new-hire that was ignorant of his rights and union backing. They barely spoke to me all morning.
Which…I mean, I fail to see the problem with that. If they leave me alone in the morning, I can actually focus on getting my mail set up for the day and be on the street quicker. Maybe they’ll figure that out someday. (Most likely not, but a man can dream)
Of course, the day job wasn’t exactly peaceful. We’ve been under heavy weather warnings, with the chance of rain being ever-present and flash-flooding an ongoing concern. It’s almost like we’ve been going through a change in climate or something…
But that’s, apparently, a fight between scientists who know what they’re doing and politicians who don’t. What I had to concern myself with was the storm clouds rolling over my head.

This was just before the rain started falling, and I admit that it’s a bit unnerving to see the clouds roll into each other and form storms so fast. The 12 miles were quiet, for all the rain and thunder, and I used my lunch break to begin work on the second Short-Arc Story for Arc 1.
I’m hoping to get this one done quickly, especially since they’re actual short stories and less than 10 pages. I might parcel this one out instead of attempting to write the entire thing out in one day. I do have another Wiki-styled article to write and post, so I’ll focus on getting that done first for the night before I make my evening attempt.
With that, I’m off to plunk away at this keyboard until I get knocked out by my own exhaustion.
Stay safe, readers!
