Happy Birthday Mike

 

Happy b day old man!

 

Todays agenda.

Fire an employee that spends more time challenging my authority than actually doing her job.
Prepare for State Fire Marshall visit/inspection @ 10AM
Board meeting @ 1PM.
Exhale.

One of those days....

Hope YOURS goes well.

 

Morning all.

Up at 2:30AM, but back on shift Tuesday night, so I'm rolling with it.

Is it weird that the worst sounding part of that to me is the Board Meeting? Gosh I don't miss my management jobs at all.

Hope it goes well Blue.

 

Good Morning All

 

The board meeting is as political as it gets. Mostly, just the "powers that be" putting their spin on things for "the record". About 90% of what we'll hear is utter nonsense. And the rest is the General Manager patting himself on the back for a mediocre performance. I sit there and pretend to be interested. Waste of 2 to 3 hours.

 

Yep, sounds like most of the meetings I remember. Anything over an hour is a waste of time, most people quit listening after that, or maybe it's the rest of the people quit, point is, no one listens really beyond an hour. "Meetings, where the minutes are kept and the hours wasted."

 

good morning all! damn blue that kind of thing just helps confirm why i've never wanted to manage. they're changing a bunch of stuff while i'm gone i think it's time to start looking

 

I would rather resurface a tennis court

 

not shaping up to be a good day. have dr apt with endochrynologist at 3 i've been fighting the good fight for about 14 years but the time may have come for injections. i'm about as scared as a little kid getting on a rollercoaster for the first time. i understand this is trivial compared to what others have gone through i.e. blue's recent diagnosis but it's hard for me to face

 

Good luck Chris, it will all be part of normal life after awhile.

 

Good Morning !!! , another cool and partly cloudy day . Yesterday about 1630 we had some very strong winds , heavy rain & hail and snow down to 6k ft elev . Supposed to rain on Wednesday & Thursday

I know i shouldn't have washed my truck Sunday !!!!!

 

thanks andy i've really fought hard i always figured the longer i stayed off insulin the better. i even went completely vegan for 8 months at 1 time but it didn't work for me. we'll see i guess

 

OK....So far....Firing went OK....I got called an "insufferable bitch". Been called worse. Told I was gonna be sued. Heard that all before. Fire inspection went incredibly well. 5 VERY minor violations that are already remedied and will be re-inspected tomorrow. A member bought me lunch. (Baked salmon and rice....really tasty!) Now on to the board meeting in 20 minutes, then home. What started off looking like a really gloomy day has (so far) turned out to be just another day in paradise.

 

good hope the rest of your day goes well

 

x2

I think the answer is "adapt and move on with it." Easier said than done I know, but it's the truth of the matter. You'll be fine Chris.

 

Baked salmon FTW! ... Good luck staying awake and feining interest at the board meeting.

 

thanks rob not really much choice suck it up and move on

 

Wish you the best!

Just left my Orthopaedic Doctor and went over the MRI's. Rotator cup inflammation, or a very small tear, and some arthritis in the neck. He's recommending physical therapy. I'm glad for that!! No surgery at this time! It's also turning out to be a good day in my world. Enjoy the Day All!

 

thanks. be glad only rotator inflamation that's why i'm home 4 month recovery from rotator reconstruction. diabetic dr held off on insulin for now and trying me on a new drug after reading the possible side effects i honestly don't know which scares me more
