And so it goes….
Ughh what a day at work. Like most of my days in the shop I’m all beat to hell by the time I come home. It’s just the nature of this particular beast of a field I work in. I’m a grunt, I’m climbing up and all over semi tankers, dragging hoses, out in all kinds of extremes, wearing full body suits to clean the inside of the tankers, dealing with oil and grease, and now snow and ice when trying to walk…… Hell I lost track of how many times today alone I fell on my ass. Then having those nice slick, wet shoes on trying to climb a chromed out ladder with no real grip to it in the middle of a landfill as a tanker truck is elevating itself to dump..and I got to hold on and maintain balance with a hose that at full stream will knock you off said tanker..to rinse the bitch out after dumping it.
So Coyote aside from what sounds like bitching and moaning what is your point? My point is that I come home sore, tired, and partially brain dead. This leads to not a lot of energy and soreness. The end result of which is usually a disappointed kitten at the end of the night. Now she understands what is going on and why. This however does not mean she likes it. Big difference. Oh she’ll still get all dressed up before bed or try and entice me now and again with a quick feel, or a good oral begging, but when you’re dead on your feet your simply dead on your feet. Not to mention having to get up in the early AM with fluctuating time frames from one day to the next. So there is no real way to plan on anything until the weekend and that’s if I am not on call for that weekend.
So yeah life has been good as far as the job goes don’t get me wrong I may bitch about it but it is steady reliable income and no way am I blowing that off in today’s world. It’s just that I wish I had more energy to expend when I get home, and be able to direct it kittens way in a pleasing manner to us both. Of course if I could actually lock down some kind of routine that would go a long ways to solving all this but again the job doesn’t allow for a lot of routine. It’s something different every day and never the same start or stop times..in other words a real bitch to plan around. Oh well I’ll just have to figure something out one way or the other. I’m sure I’ll have help in that because kitten wants it as bad if not worse than I do..lol

Its been my experience that after a while your muscles should get used to the abuse and you will probably not feel as drained as you do now. The cold doesn’t help of course because that just keeps your muscles contracting. Calcium /Magnesium supplements should help with the sore muscles, massages from Kitten would also help…not to mention they might spark some inspiration. I bet once your body gets used to the physical aspects of the work you and kitten should be back in some sort of groove.

I know this will come off as sounding shitty and I apologize I don’t mean to be just mearly and observation. You have talked alot recently about being to tired to play with your kitten, I hope you realise now how your kitten felt all those times she was exhausted from working all day and you were well rested from being home all day and you used her anyway just because you were horny. But now the shoe is on the other foot and she is ready to go and your not she constantly gets turned down. How is that fair? Or maybe I just don’t understand. Anyways just an outside point of view that I know you don’t give a shit about. Still none the less I love reading both your blogs and am so thrilled for you that you got to see your daughter.

Masters slave – TY for the advice we’re working on it.
Anon – You’re comparing apples to oranges really. I used to work where kitten does now, I did a job much along the same lines as she. It’s customer service phone based work. You come in at a set time, you log into your computer, you answer phones, direct calls and deal with customer issues. Then on the other paw we have my job, no set start stop time. You come in when they tell you to the night before, you leave when they say go, we’re emergency repsonce service. We have no say really in anything we do we are simply a reactionary service to other folks messes. And it’s all physical if we’re lucky we have a nice short 8 hour day, if not well get ready for over time because 14+ hour days are not uncommon. We deal with all kinds of environmental spills so in my job unlike in kittens a mistake can cost someone their life. So no I don’t understand how that was for kitten because as I said I did a job on the phone much like hers and at the same company and I may have been mentally tired but that isn’t to hard to fix. NOW however I am physically exhausted when I come home and movement is a real pain in the ass most nights. So no I don’t get how she felt or feels because it is two completely different situations and two totally different jobs over all. So where fairness is concerned it has nothing to do with it because all things being equal our jobs are no where near alike.

Instead of focussing on the play maybe kitten could give you a nightly massage which will enable the two of you to connect in an intimate way
just a thought and it may help those tired muscles of yours and kitten gets to perform some form of service which in turn keeps her in a good space. There are plenty of alternative ways to keep your kitten in a good space and reap the benefits x
