  What better way to spend a night at work manning the telephones (which are not ringing) than posting to my diary.    The only thing going on at the moment is a man in the Lobby (I can watch him on camera) giving the ER Registration attendent a hard time .... but the Security officer…

• This and That and a little TMI

  December 14, 2018

  The co-worker who had bariatric surgery in October has returned to work this week.  We are all so happy to see him back.  He looks thinner but also very weary.  He has lost almost 100 pounds in just six weeks, but confided that he's been through the wringer and feels awfully weak and is easily&he...

• I Wasn’t Dreaming Of A White Thanksgiving

  November 15, 2018

  I may not have been dreaming of a white Thanksgiving, but nevertheless, it is absolutely snowing this morning with only a week to go until the Holiday. A few weeks ago I had to have my 14 year old golden retriever put down, and his best little friend (one of my several house cats) named…

At work, one of our co-workers is about to undergo gastric bypass ...

• On A Beautiful Day ….

  October 1, 2018

  It seemed like such a beautiful autumn day when I got out of work this morning.  The sun was shining after weeks of rain, the air was cool, the sky the bluest of blues .... and so I came home and opened up the house to let the fresh air take the place of the…

• A More Normal Entry

  September 15, 2018

  Unnecessary drama does not appeal to me.  There is more than enough natural drama along our walk through life.  But it does appeal to some, and I cannot always fathom why.  Sometimes it seems to be a ploy to garner more attention or sympathy, other times it seems there are just some people who th...

• Sticking With It

  September 15, 2018

  What a week it has been.  Eldest daughter is expecting baby number 2 sometime in April.  Amidst all the hormones, she and 15 year old stepdaughter (Jules)  have come to that horrible place .... the nightmare of mothers and step mothers of teenage daughters everywhere.  Jules has become quite the ...

  September 1, 2018

  At work last night I discovered a cellist I had never heard of before named Stjepan Hauser while watching youtube on my cell phone to pass the time. (This makes me sound like a horrible employee, but when we were acquired by a very large Hospital system last year, they've made so many wonderful c...
