Overtime

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxRqlNiEHPk

A partial list of things that have lamentably been delayed and neglected since Thanksgiving because the Big Box is offering a rare burst of overtime hours due to Black Friday, Christmas and prep for our annual inventory, and because time-and-a-half is closer to a living wage and that can’t be turned down:

• Laundry

• The final, post-Oak-trees leaf-raking of autumn

• Hanging our Christmas lights

• Adequate sleep and basic nutrition

• Much-needed, if awkwardly self-promotional, attempts to sell copies of The Anti-Christ Handbook, The Anti-Christ Handbook Vol. II, and Long March of the Koalas

• This blog in general

• The Advent Calendar feature I’d started on this blog, then dropped five days in

• A much-needed response/rebuke to Jerry Falwell Jr.’s “end the Muslims” speech on guns and killing the Other, because seriously, WTF?, that is some messed-up, anti-Jesus nonsense right there

• Cleaning the coffee cups and fast-food trash from the back seat of my car before the pile gets so big it starts spilling back into the front seat

• Email

• The job-hunt that I started more than two years ago and once hoped would result in not having to work a third-straight annual inventory and retail Christmas at the Big Box

• Launch of my Patreon page and (hopefully) the corresponding resumption of our tour of Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist as a milestone goal for reaching 100 patrons

• More than a 20-minutes-in-passing interaction with my wife before heading back to the Box

• Personal hygiene.

I apologize for all of the above delays, lapses, omissions and transgressions. I have some catching up to do.
