Nice bit of drama in here today.

Saraste · 09-17-2025, 01:08 PM

My home care nurse should be here any minute for the infusion that was delayed a week. Will probably sleep through the second half of it. Benedryl is part of my pre-meds and if I don't take them regularly, they will put me to sleep more often than not.

bigdog2003 · 09-17-2025, 01:08 PM

Add me to the list. My supervisor was told before I got to work that no matter what we have to do, I have to cover the office from 1:30-2:30 3 days a week. I asked him why is it that WE (meaning him and me) have to help cover other people's stuff, but it's never anybody helping cover ours

Because they know you’ll do it and won’t say no.

Yep a simple I have prior obligations and can not help out works fine. Bigdog for the amount of times you have complained you sure let them walk all over you. Life is more important than any job as treat things as if you had died they would get someone else to do the things they ask of you in a heartbeat.

Saraste · 09-17-2025, 04:19 PM

Spuds, how is the cruise? Is your wife enjoying it as much as she was hoping she would?

Yeah don’t let them walk over you. Stand up for yourself.

Siberian13 · 09-17-2025, 04:23 PM

Don’t be a yes man if they exploit it.

Thanks for asking I am glad to say she is really enjoying it. The sights are beautiful and the food has been really good at the restaurants but the buffets aren’t as good as I expected. We went through glacier bay today and it was awesome. We are relaxing in the room right now because I and my wife are no longer spring chickens. Definitely a trip that can be further enjoyed by the young.

Exactly I found out the hard way that I was being used. I would always cover shifts when needed and I was denied an off day that I had requested 2 weeks in advance. After that happened I never covered a shift again.

Easy for anonymous internet goombahs to offer career advice.

bigdog is a grown-up, who seems like a conscientious person. Let's not judge him if he chooses to help out disproportionately at work.

Trudat.

It is easy to see he is in it as much for the kids as anything else. For that reason, he may put up with more than the average person would under other circumstances. I am purely speculating on these last 2 statements based on what he has said.

Nah helping out and then complaining about it isn’t conscientious it’s like doing a good deed and then shouting it from the rooftops.

Alternatively, he posts here as an outlet for his sanity.

We all do and trust me I respect him wholeheartedly and would never criticize his methods just stating how I would feel if treated the same way.

Awakened by the sounds of our large dog snoring.
5 minutes before the alarm was set to go off.

Good morning, everyone. Today is Thursday September 18th.

JosieD · 09-18-2025, 04:35 AM

I would have preferred to stay in bed this morning but still got up at 5am. Glad I did. Its about consistency. I have been doing a two minute morning reflection. The prompts are:

Today, I will let go of....

Today, I am grateful for....

Today, I will focus on...

Dogs snoring is a cute way to wake up when you are about to get up anyway.

JosieD · 09-18-2025, 04:37 AM

We are getting something delivered today and they gave between 8am and 1pm. Just alerted us yesterday that someone needs to be here to sign for it. I rearranged my day in order to work from home.
