It really does get more interesting my the minute.    This week the current administration learned that they also have to cover call.  Just goes to prove the point of stupidity.  

To hire 54 nurses and 20 docs it will cost 175K just to cover Monday thru Friday, 7 to 3 pm.    Weekends and call arre extra.   Plus the newly hired company docs are not obligated to give breaks and lunchs.

Not much longer to go.   All this because Jerry is mad.

 

Sunday

Friday

I haven't had much time to think.   With the employment winding down.   I think the current CEO is heading on a path of a second bankruptcy.  This is all his making.  At my age I need less stress.   All of us are looking for a week or two off.   This current guy says he has a plan and it will be OK.   I think they are trying to prove a point, whatever that is.   

So, the next week will be interesting.

It ain't over till its over.

Now they are calling me at home......The surgeons want to help us.....  Do they think that I really believe it?? 
They want to help us negotiate.   They are even willing to help and fund us an attorney to get a contract in place.   Does this hospital administration think that I would believe them????

They are worried that there cases won't get done.   And one told me "there will be no negotiation"   Well,  according to Yogi Berra "It ain't over till its over"  The next three weeks will be a wild ride.   Now I have people all over the hospital asking what am I going to do.  What I really would like to say is "Its none of your f'in' business"   

There are a lot of people in authority that look down on everyone and think they are stupid as well.   It just comes to arrogance and it is in epidemic proportions at our hospital system......

The moral is don't go in and work for a system in chaos.   Don't believe everything you hear.   Don't put anything in writing and keep every that is written to you.    I am really looking forward to going to work on Monday to see what new develops.

what are you going to do???

Thats what everyone wants to know...What I would like to say is NONE OF YOUR F'ING  business.    My husband thinks the CEO is the biggest a-hole in the world.   He is still banking on all of us "panicing" and bolting to sign on with the hospital.    I don't think this will happen.     Some people are really upset, but, what are they going to do.  It is stressful but I can't worry about things of which I have no control.   I really have no control over this one except to stay at the dance with those who brought me.......

Trying to download patches.   Couldn't get that darn Service Park 2 installed.  It keeps downloading but not installing.   MS said to try to start it in "safe mode"   This is really getting into the tecki angle.  But I did it.....  I think it is installed.........but who knows.

On call tomorrow.  Who knows what it will bring.  Been telling all the nosy people I am going to retire.  HAHA HA

 

"Life is 10 percent what you make it and 90 percent how you take it."
- Benjamin Franklin

Right we are not taking it too well.   Got an astronomic gas bill for the final reading.  Since I have had the thermostat on at 50F I knew it wasn't right.   Called Dominion, and what a time with that I had.  One hour on hold by calling their toll free number.   I finally found a local number and they had a mechanism where you left your phone number and they would call you back.   And they did! ! ! ! !    The mechanical voice said 15 minutes wait and they called back.

NO ONE read the meter.   What a bunch of idiots.   They are going to go out tomorrow and read it.   Told the lady that I had the thermometer set at 50 and no one was using the gas.   They will prorate it, or so they say.

Still no resolution to the work situation.   I could use a month off..........

Tuesday

A memorandum is written not to inform the reader but to protect the writer."
- Dean Acheson

This goes along with the employee hand book, which they bring out to prove to you they don't have to pay for or give you something.   It also involves don't put anything in writing and keep everything written.  Never volunteer, unless it is to your advantage.     Maybe I should get my MBA or apply for Dave Berrys job when he retires.

All finished

Well, another years Christmas is done and past.    Today we took down the tree and put all the decorations up.   That tree business seems to come rather quickly each year.

I took my sisters table back and told her that our tree was down.  She said she left hers up until the Epiphany.   ?????  That is next Sunday.   I didn't ask her why though????

- Naguib Mahfouz

Goes to show you how to spot the idiots out there......I often hear people talking and wonder......"Do you know how stupid you sound???"  I also wonder how these same people make it thru life??????

And another observation is how the above fools and jerks always seem to find each other.   They must have some radar that is invisible to the rest of us.

New Year

The new year has arrived.  I hope it is better than last.  I made the required pork and sauerkraut.   My husband said why bother since it didn't seem to do any good last year.   I said "Maybe it would have been worse."  An eternal optimist I am.

We had the traditional meal also today.   It is a German tradition.  Read an article about the traditions worldwide.   That dish is pretty mundane.    Some people  burn trees.  That would have been pretty dangerous in the house today.

I have off tomorrow and hopefully I will get to use the gift certificate given to me by our realtor.   I am glad that is over.....

I hope this  year will be better.
