Happy New Year 🥳

I was doing so well on my daily posting there for a while until… remember those new work updates? Well, hell.

Someone went on maternity leave, awesome go be a mom. I’m not being mean, go be a good mom. I was off with FMLA for 3 months after my open-heart triple bypass. But I also know how people felt about having to pick up my duties.

Anywho, she’s off. And honestly, I’m hoping she stays gone! We now have an Awesome supervisor that knows what she’s doing and backs us (her people) up! I know, she told me to stop doing what other people were demanding of me. And tell them to talk to her. She’s my supervisor, not them. I could feel my jaw hitting the floor. I’m finally able to do my job and that is making me happy, which makes me productive! She’s taken some responsibilities away from me to allow me to do my job. I have a lot of responsibilities to do, see new admissions, and do individual therapy and group therapy. Doesn’t sound like a lot until you’ve got more than two patients on the unit and only 8 hours to do everything.

Anywho, I started this on Saturday but I’ve maintained not posting on the weekends. So I’ve finished this up today. Happy Monday Morning!

Christmas Countdown

Are we a ‘team’ or not?

I love these new ‘Team’ groups, where everyone is supposed to work collaboratively! That is what I’ve always wanted to be part of here. It sounds awesome, right?

Here’s the problem,
My teammate is an Ass! “Oh, you’ve got this! And no I’m not going to send you an email to remind you! That’s NOT MY JOB!”

okay, I am a DAV with a TBI, I have made it known that I require people to send me texts/emails to remind me of important stuff. I have alarms set on my phone/watch so I ensure I’m where I need to be when I need to be there! And this person, once said, “Oh no worries, I can text/email you whenever you need it!” So which one is it, helpful or an Ass!

And here’s some Passive Aggressive behavior for you, I’m no longer going to email her when she needs to know something to do her job! Is that wrong? NO. Is it rude? Maybe. Is it Passive Aggressive, oh hell yes!

This is exactly what I’ve been putting up with for years. So, yeah, yay team! Means yay me! There is no I in teams, but there is a ME! yep!!

OI! I hate this feeling! I’ve mentioned before, I’m a Type A person, which means I like doing things correctly and when they aren’t done that way, it gives me stress. Which is bad, as I have heart issues! I don’t know why people won’t work with my known disabilities? This is nothing new!! These are Reasonable Accommodations!! So much for a TEAM!

So, after much emailing about her doing something ‘wrong.’ She brought me back a Pepsi as a Peace gesture! She’s still an ass, but she now knows she’s not infallible and she needs to compromise!! yep! So, yes, I’ve emailed her what she needs to be aware of. I’m not a complete ASS! just a smart one! LOL 😀

I’m in the mood for Yule

This is not my image, I don’t share photos of my altars. That’s a little too personal for me. This one is credited to PennilessPagan.com and they are still available to peruse their site. 😉 I personally, just signed up for when the site is updated. 😉

Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona

For more information please visit the official site of the USS Arizona Memorial

There is more there than just the USS Arizona, there are also the Oklahoma and Utah memorials, reclamations of unknown bodies due to DNA, and other historical stories. I suggest you peruse this site if you’re a history buff, Veteran, or concerned citizen.

Remembrance Day December 7, 1941

In my family today is remembered. I had a grandfather that survived Pearl Harbor when his friends and fellow sailors did not. 😦

Poster created by artist Allen Saalburg (June 25, 1899 – July 25, 1987) for the Office of War Information in January 1942. One of the first propaganda posters to be issued after the start of the war, it was commonly seen in factories and military bases around the United States. As the war progressed, instead of “Remember December 7th!” the slogan “Remember Pearl Harbor!” became more common in American propaganda. The quote is from President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Allen Saalburg was born in Rochelle, Illinois. His father was a newspaper cartoonist and printer. Saalburg studied painting at Pratt Institute, and with William Sloan at the Art Students League. Saalburg, like many other artists, headed a project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the 1930s in New York City, designing murals for Central Park’s Zoo, Arsenal, and other buildings. During the 1930s, he also designed magazine covers, theater and movie sets, and murals for the 1939-40 New York World’s Fair. After moving to Pennsylvania in the 1940s, he painted commercial murals and did silkscreens on paper and glass. When the war began, many of the WPA artists were tapped to create propaganda through painting and photography.

Happy 12 years of Blogging to me

I know, it’s not been continuous blogging, due to the Pandemic, Work, Health, and Family issues-passings, beginnings, and other life events. But overall, I’ve been here and I’ve recently started blogging again, remember those days of multiple postings in one day? Yeah, seems like that again. 😀 LOL

Vaccinate

Okay, I’ve got a lot of people I know that are getting really bad respiratory infections, that are causing them to lose work and put other people in jeopardy of acquiring their illness! Covid is still a thing! In fact, Indianapolis is still on high Covid Watch as it’s getting bad again! Why? Because people are not vaccinating and not wearing masks when they are ill!! Ugh

Vaccinations do not hurt!
We, hubs and I, have been vaccinated for Influenza and Covid and have had two or is it now 3 booster vaccinations. Keep yourself, your family, and your friends, safe, VACCINATE!

IOTD 12/6/22

It’s been a while since I’ve done an IOTD=Image of the Day, however, this morning, I woke up really discombobulated and out of sorts, the first images I pulled up while not necessarily violent, were more angry and RED! so what to do, find one in Blue! a calming color, keep the Phoenix, but change it’s meaning today. I need to stay calm and levelheaded. 😉
