Write her up for any little thing
Enough formal reprimands
Should be good for termination

I wish it was that easy. She hasn’t done anything wrong that’s deserving of a write up. And if she did the negative write up would be immediately appealed through the union. That would get management employee relations team involved and those spineless assholes would end up negotiating it down to a verbal counseling that could not be formally or informally recorded (I speak from experience).

Hi all..

The presentation went okay. For the first time they actually asked me questions. Just waiting for time to pass I'm having a dinner at 5:30 so I'm laying on bed, watching TV and thinking about everybody else who is doing work.

Good on you!

Kudos and Hat-Tip to you... enjoy your R&R while you can!

Now for my rant of the day.

There is one of my employees I loath. Not dislike, not hate…but loath. This is the second time I’ve been her supervisor and she causes me more stress than any other single or group of employees I’ve ever had. She’s been in a mood recently, over who knows what now, and we are all walking in egg shells. I asked my boss to recognize her for some of the work she’s done recently and she acted like we were criticizing her and out to get her. She makes it quite clear, over and over again, about her dietary allergies and the team does the best to accommodate her but she doesn’t even have lunch with the team. I’ve invited her, but she refuses. She gets pissed off when nobody reacts to her posts in our group chat, and then gets pissed if when she feels the response wasn’t appropriate. If she is calling out sick, which is frequently, she’ll text me at 5:50 am. I’ve told her to wait until later, but she doesn’t get it. I understand she has background medical issues, I’ve had to work with her before and accommodate them, but you don’t need to shove them in the team’s face to stand out. She has the union on speed dial, and isn’t afraid to remind us of her close personal friendship with the local shop steward. I just with she would retire, and by the way so does her husband (who is a great guy).

Ok, rant over. Sorry about that. No need to reply I just needed to get this off my chest.

I get it

I am going to join The Procrastinators of America Club, one of these days. I just have not gotten around to it!

Well, I'm President of The Procrastinators of America Club... Founder and Charter Member 001...
(As I sit here on Lit, while I have 10 chores on my list)....

What's beautiful about that, is that my Lovely Wife/Goddess said that it's starting to rub off on Her!

I’m gonna stop procrastinating.

Tomorrow.

Rare lull for a quick catch up

Nice to see OM stopping by with her memes from time to time. Lovely to see you when time allows, @Oldermom935

Me neither. Bought one - off gassed it, then repacked and regifted at Christmas with a few silicone accessories. Was well received.

Entirely too many for me to do the same for all I am missing during vacation. Sorry folks. In a perfect world I absolutely would, but current reality has limited resources.

I try to avoid oats as they tend to make my tummy ache.
No gluten sensitivity or celiac issues - just an unhappy tummy when I eat oats in about any form.

love my toaster oven!!!

I'd like this on a badge for our leather jackets please

Oh, no! Poor puppy and poor you. Glad you got it sorted. He's so lucky to have you as his person.

Ugh - hate those! I like at least 15 minutes to get online and take a quick look at what came in since the previous day.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go

My advice - eye on the prize... post-surgical recovery

Do as many of the pre-surgical exercises as possible... you will need those muscles during recovery.
You get out of PT what you put in.

Also, when in recovery and needing to get out of bed those first few days.. slip your good leg under your surgical one to help lift and rotate out of bed.

Last bit of advice - ice. Lots and lots of ice.
It helps with pain between doses of pain meds. For me, it works better than the pain meds.

I've had both mine replaced. Each was its own experience. Feel free to DM with any questions. Not an expert by any means but happy to share what I experienced.

Good luck to you both!!

Same - but this new phone is a brick! I said that when I got my last phone... but this time I mean it??
Even my travel pants with two large pockets on either side aren't big enough for this monster.

You know your stuff and you've got this!!

po-tay-to
po-tah-to

Or focus on their shoulder instead of their face. From a distance, it still looks like good eye contact.

Off for a short nap before my next vacation adventure.
Have fun everyone... Happy Tuesday

Thanks much again for a catch up summary.

I'll NEVER stop... lest I be ousted as president!!!
Trust me, I want NO power over others...except, maybe this one!!

IKR??? I got one the other day asking me to respond "immediately" to "help him with an urgent issue." I didn't even open it until about 3 days after he sent it. Then I noped out.

I hope he wasn't bleeding...

Okay, that's funny.

Dr. Tyler needs a smock or something so she can carry her phone.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Hey Jess. How’s life down under? (Besides busy)

Hey Jess. How’s life down under? (Besides busy)

Its good. Life has to be good. If it isnt good, it isnt life

 

[Wonderer67]

OK Nurse. Here is what they’re looking at…



Am I gonna make it? . So diet and exercise are the most important…we all kind of know that...was just hoping for a quick fix. What about that Apple Cider/Vinegar and water mixture at night? Anything natural…I”m kind of hippy-dippy that way. Thanks for all the info.
Wife is starting to get cranky. She’s not looking forward to this.

It rained like a mini hurricane here last night! Winds and driving hard rain. Looked at my app and there was a small low pressure system sitting off the coast spinning! . Thunderstorms and lighting. Odd type of weather pattern for this time of year. We did need the rain though…

Some New Mexico Hot Spring MZ…

Luck on both accounts… your heart health and the missus’ upcoming procedure!

Hope it went well. How was all over the place on this thread, and I think I saw where things got a little bit interactive - which IMO, is good.

Sitting in the hotel room. Bored out of my skull

 

[Wonderer67]

Are part-time band leaders semiconductors?

Can you buy an entire chess set in a pawnshop?

Daylight savings time-why are they saving it and where do they keep it?

Did Noah keep his bees in archives?

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

Classic, NC, classic!
