Good morning!

I had the craziest/awesomest day yesterday.  I have mentioned in the past how I've had difficulties with a coworker, and how my current manager is... well... weak. We were told yesterday that our current manager is moving into a different role, and we will be put with a newer/current manager who I respect the hell out of. She has completely revolutionized her group in the 9 months she's been here, and I am SO EXCITED to be able to work with her.

Now, I have to think about what I really want out of my job and position because she will make it happen. AGH! And YAY!! :)

BTW, my troublemaking coworker? TOTALLY PISSED that she's not going to be moved into the management role. BUAHAHAHAHAHHA.

How are your weeks going?

Re: Good morning!

  • That's awesome Snippy! 

    I sent you a link on FB to those tires I mentioned. They're amazeballs. 

    I'm on day three of my 9 day stretch, in one week i'll be off for five glorious days. Cannot wait. We're not going anywhere. I just won't have to work. It's pretty busy as I have a lot of groups this week. Next week is slow (hence why I'm out the last half), then I'm gearing up for two very large family reunion groups the week of the 4th.

  • And that was probably a P&R. I've got to head to the train station, and knowing my job I won't be able to make it back here until this evening. Have a great day everyone!

    Good morning!  Yay, Snippy!

    I only got 4.5 hours of sleep last night.  Ugh.

    I'm bummed because the only other geriatrician at my job gave notice on Monday.  That means that in my division (normal internal medicine + geriatrics), we are down to 5 people from 8, and of the 4 people hired in the last two years, I'm the only one left.  Guess who is going to have the worst call schedule this upcoming year?  

    On the other hand, my lectures have been getting great reviews from the students, and I am having fun with a couple of my curriculum projects.
  • Morning!  Great news, Snippy!  Mica, I'm sorry.  That's rough :(

    This is a P&R, as I'm off to Massachusetts for my boss's dad's funeral.  We closed the office for the day so we could all go (all...three of us).  I'll be back later this afternoon.  Have a good day, everyone!

  • Snippy, that's awesome! I got a new manager at work a couple months ago. She's good, I guess, but my last manager was stellar and we had a great relationship right away. I don't have that with my new boss. I've been super busy at work and home. I feel like I need a day off just to hole up at home by myself, but I doubt that will happen since H is pretty much always home.

  • Dileni, I'm jealous! I haven't been camping in ages. How do you camp? I admit, we don't rough it at all. For us it's more about spending time with family, friends, food, and beer.

  • FI and I camp out on a non-electrical campsite, tents, sleeping bags & and no electronic devices (except when it is pouring we watch a movies on our laptop), cook our food over a fire, go hiking/fishing/canoeing etc. We camp at provincial parts. So I guess we rough it out?

    This time we are going with another couple & some people they know, and since my FI's friend's & his FI booked - they booked an electrical site, which we didnt really want (costs more), since she needs a hair straightener & some other important stuff lol.

  • I am watching Breakfast Television & they are promoting arts & crafts for kids and the lady brings out a japanese saw & is going on about how its good for kids & how we should let kids use them (japanese saws cut at the pull instead of the push). Lol what is this.

  • Good morning ladies, still lurking from NC. Snippy great news about your job, sad about co worker though, ha. 

    I am still employed after last weeks mental meltdown.  My boss is out for the next four days, maybe I can breath.  He actually left me his library book and said ," find someone to return this, it is overdue." Who does that?

    Between work drama and wedding drama I am afraid I am on the edge.  thanks for letting me drop in...again
  • Morning ladies!

    That sounds so wonderful for your Snippy. It's great to have a manager you can actually respect, will see you for the hard work you do, and reward you for it.

    MK, sometimes days off with nothing to do are exactly what you need. I hope you enjoy them to their fullest!

    Mica, do they plan on replacing those doctors? If not, I'm sure you can handle it! I'm glad you're getting great reviews on your lectures at least.

    I totally want to go camping again. I haven't been in years and the last time I was camping it was just for my favorite festival. This is gross but when we go there, we don't even worry about showers let alone a hair straightener.

    H got off work from his new job early yesterday so he picked me up whilst walking back to the apartment from the bus stop. I didn't get nearly as much done with the gifts/thank yous/cleaning up as I wanted to. Boo.

    My thoughts exactly. None of us have a camper or a grill, there is no need for an electrical site.<div>

    Morning, all! Snippy, great news on the job front. Dilen, more power to you for camping. NMS, but have fun! Mica, ugh on a lousy call schedule, but I'm glad you are enjoying the teaching. Cfas, glad the enchiladas turned out well.

    I am really sore today. I started refinishing my kitchen cabinets yesterday. We (meaning my younger daughter and I) got all 23 cabinet doors off and hinges removed. She sanded abut 4 doors then lost interest (kinda of what I'd expect from an 11 year old). I got all but 8of them sanded before I ran out of sandpaper. So it's off to Home Depot today for some more. I've also got a luncheon date with a bunch of ladies from church (gah, that sounds too much like Kristen#!). We are going to a wnery, so it should be fun and quite tasty. I'm driving, so only little teeny sips for me.
  • Happy summer solstice!  Is it Friday yet?  Bleh.  At least I have yoga tonight. 

    We haven't gone camping in forever.  It's way too hot for it now.  We are going canoeing in a couple weeks, though. 

    Yay for the new manager, Snippy!  It sounds like that will be a very good change for you.

  • Good Morning!

    FI is pretty much a comic book nerd (makes his own and sells them, the whole thing).  Anyway, we usually stop at this shop on Sunday morning so he can get his books.  For the past couple of weeks he's been talking to the owner about this b-party they are going to tonight.  I thought it was kind of strange since it's a Wednesday night and all, but I just ignored it as it didn't concern me...or so I thought.  

    Last night I was asking him what he wanted to do for dinner tonight and he reminded me that we have this thing to go to tonight.  I was immediately confused as it's been referred to as a b-party and as I am not a stripper, I didn't think I was invited.  Then he responded, well, it's a b-party, but for a fictional character.  Huh?

    Yeah, so apparently there's a homosexual X-man character named Northstar that is getting married in one of the new books, so they are having a b-party for him as an event/chance to drink for the guys (and SOs) at the store, since I believe he said it's the first time there has been a same-sex marriage in a comic book.

    So, that's what I'm doing tonight.... Going to a b-party for a fictional character.  If I didn't know it before, my suspicions are totally confirmed that I'm marrying a complete nerd Tongue Out.


    Yikes...sorry about the wall of text.

    [QUOTE]Good Morning!  <strong>All day yesterday my brain thought it was Wednesday. I woke up today thinking it was Thursday.</strong>  It does not help that H has tonight off (normally has Th and Fri night off) so my brain will just confirm it's Thursday. I want sleeeeep.  H is making waffles tonight, and I am not ashamed to say I am excited.

    My brain hasn't been able to remember what day of the week it is since June 9th. Hopefully it will remember soon but I'm betting I won't really get back into the swing of things until Saturday/Sunday.
  • I see you LTB. 

    Froggie, that's kind of hilarious.

  • Good morning. I have already managed to make it to the gym and grocery store. I'm ready for Friday.

    Snippy - I'm glad the work situation is looking up.

  • Good morning!
    I was in TK alternate reality for most of yesterday evening/this morning where Midge's AW of her wedding was the first post.  I was actually pleasantly surprised because I missed it the first time around, but I am just now able to see the rest of the posts since then.

    ...going back to reading the rest of the thread

  • I love that you've actually heard about this, Cfas.

    Oh and the name of the gay Green Lantern character is Alan Scott, who was actually the original GL.  Oh, the things I learned last night...

  • Froggie, that is hysterical. I wonder if BIL is attending something similar.

    July, which one did you see? Because even I can only see one anymore.
  • Remember when we were discussing ridiculous fb middle names?  I just came across this gem: Name Youneedkingkongifyousteptome Lastname.  Good gracious.

    It had a bunch of photos (two professional and a ton more non-professional), I don't know if that narrows it down at all.

  • Adamar, I can't even read that without my brain hurting. You'd think there would be a maximum character length before that. Geez.
  • Dumdum, my H is a comic book nerd, too. I think I'm the only female that regularly visits our local comic book store. I know all about gay Alan Scott. Also, there was a gay wedding in an Archie comic a few months back, so this isn't the very first one.

  • Midge, it was one with two professional photos and a bunch of non-professional photos.  There were only 4 reponses which I thought was strange, but it would make sense if it is just hanging out in the alternate TK universe :)

  • Huh, good to know Tp.  I'll have to question him on this.  Though, I'm not really sure if the Archie world is part of his repertoire.

  • I need help from cat people.

    Our little cat keeps going on top of the fridgerator and playing with our photos and magnets holding them on there. Any suggestions on how to keep her off?
