Morning all. This weather! It was almost 80F yesterday and today the forecast is a high of 43F and rain/snow mix this afternoon. Locating utilities training is gonna be interesting.

Busy day today. Hope all are doing well.
I'll try to check in and catch up when work is done in a few hours. It's being very work-ey today.

Yeah - didn't really get a chance to catch up yesterday.
Not sure about today, but so far busy again.
Enjoy your daily coffee, eat something tasty, and take over the world!

I open my education tracker and low and behold there is a date for planned education for one of my assigned providers....huh?? I say
So I go to teams and say..... there is a date by one of my providers...... I did not schedule that and the only this that the provider required due to our escalation process was an email. Does anyone know anything about that? The response was that's probably one of the floats invited to the Dublin education is it Shawn P. I say yes for Stringtown Road that is where I got it from. That is my practice and my provider. So their response I get was yeah she floats all over you can take it out if you want but I added it to all three of the float providers that were on the list. So my question was "were the other two required to get emails with read receipts or?" So her response was I think all three only had one occurrence but I'm not sure I think the other two were Jen's, (who is another coworker) either way they were all invited to the Dublin education no matter how many they had some invited didn't have any occurrences. I said okay. And then instead of saying, "don't f****** do it again. I'll take care of my providers and I'll reach out if I need your help because we need to follow the escalation plan and the standard work document that has already been written and Rewritten". I said I don't think it is a bad idea to invite the float providers to do in person since they move around so much but if they only require an email this time and they also get face-to-face what is the next step if we don't see Improvement at our next poll of data. According to our escalation process at that point they have received two levels of education and email and an in person it might be an opportunity to talk through it next time. And her response was "good thought I let Julia include whoever she wanted in the education, she is the practice manager or something, so I'm happy to follow up with the float providers next time if needed also". No what I need you to do is not try to stomp all over everybody's f****** feet every time you turn around. You do your work the way you want to do it. If it affects other people you discuss it with them before you go all Hog Wild and piss people i.e. me off. I don't need anybody to do my work for me I handle my providers. And another thing so Julia, who doesn't know our provess, decides what we do for our process? She has this relationship with this person so she's like wants to be helpful, but it has nothing to do with the process that's already been set up. I don't want to be a hard ass but give me a break..... these fucking people

And here comes the rest of the team... "great idea... sounds great ok..... why do I bust my ass doing standard work docs and following them if they do whatever they want anyway.... so I won't be..... my new mantra is " whatever they decide " and I will have no opinions and offer no help....how is that...you killed off your most reliable most experienced worker.... good job... but it is easier to humor dumb asses than follow processes you are supposed to and actually manage people.... oh and you can take my name off the team building event... I don't wish to do it anymore

The sarcastic side of me has some sick fascination with organizations or bureaucracies sanitizing otherwise ugly words. My new favorite one I discovered today in an email from my work's administration is " financial realities "

No time to catch up today…

But I did get out for a walk, it’s almost warm. I also brought out about 100 pumpkin plants to harden off for a few hours in the actual sun and wind. Can’t let them get all leggy.

While we're waiting... a little catch up

Mmm, three options and only two images

Hmm, you've never encountered this before?
Here's a primer

I just got the obligitory " hi team" from the dipshits i work with
I ignore them

"Onion snow"

TIL - never knew it had a name, but very used to snow this time of year

Yall be good now and stay out of trouble! That is an order!

Well, that's just not fair and no fun

Made it home, ready for an Easter Feast. Momma already working on all the details. Will probably take her to church on Sunday…my biannual visit …or as they say…a Poinsettia/Lilly Christian . It counts…right?

Hey…it’s my day. I command you all to enjoy!

I was asked to bring fresh fruit for Easter. The rest of the menu is set. So I can't even think of doing my shopping until after work tomorrow or sometime Saturday afternoon. Dang - I need to set a reminder!

God help us all if your dad had Wild Country or High Karate ...I still can't stand the smell of Brüt by Fabrogè or Jean Nate After Bath Splash

I may have just found the root cause of my sensitivity to scented products.

Well one out of two ain’t bad
Just guess the one

Looks like I'm on your team

I thought you were going to say because it makes you want to cry, like you're chopping onions!

Turns out there's a recipe for Onion Snow in Molecular Gastronomy. I think going through all that work for the end product would make me cry.

Howdy, all you lovely Spooners... I missed ya!
I hope the day finds all of you well, at peace, thriving and prospering!

Welcome back!

That is right below a very dangerous suspended load, made from brittle material, with some idiot half way up it, chipping away with a hammer! LOL

For starters, you said, "load" while @Wonderer67 was busy. And unless I am off on the scale - what. an. idiot.
We get frozen runnels like this off our roof in winter. Ain't nobody fool enough to go climbing those suckers. Well, not sober anyhow

I was thinking legs....

Yep... work smart not hard

New Motto just dropped!

I've passed 10,000 posts!
I'd like to thank all my friends here, the academy and all the little people who have made this possible.

There will be Kitten

Wat speak for

Best part is the kitty cat

Always!!

Hiya spooners!
Been on the road this week to the southern US: Philly and Valley Forge offices.
Good to see Mrs. Wonderer again, and just be home.

Good afternoon, class. Today we'll be covering Regions of the United States, including Northeast, South, Midwest, and West. Who can find Pennsylvania on the map?

I am donating a bunch of stuff to a charity that helps abused women.

I have been cleaning stuff out too. We have a humane society the next county over that runs a thrift store.... I take stuff there...

I love knowing that things will find a new home when there's some life left in them. And for a good cause? Even better.

Well…it was a mere twenty-eight years ago, I remember it like yesterday. A German nurse handed me a little bundle of joy the stork flew in

Congratulations and Happy Birthday!!

Did we all grow up together????
“I built model Airplanes and cleaned stuff with gas and it ain’t affected me none!”

Holy hell - that aquanet smell…
I can STILL smell it!
Hell, I think I’m still slightly high from it!

Remember "Facts of Life" anyone?

Sometimes the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. Sometimes it is!

She has this relationship with this person so she's like wants to be helpful, but it has nothing to do with the process that's already been set up.

Sometimes help is just a 4-letter word

FYI, no pussy willow yet.

Hmm, nothing from @Wonderer67 ? Must be a busy day in the office...

Well, I didn't sail off the edge of the earth, but I did get close enough to see it...

Welcome back... heckuva trip!

Winter is returning hold onto your parkas

Anyone else have Hail Storm on your Bingo Card today?
We were supposed to get a couple hours of rain
We got grape tomato to cherry tomato size hail for a few minutes then a brief shower before the temps shot up 30 degrees. weather

I remember a "white Easter" is Arkansas when I was a kid... several inches of unseasonably late snow...

Midwest - where you golf with orange balls on Christmas and walk to church in your Easter best while it snows

...add "bush hogging" to the list.

I always question ...is it Bush or brush.....
Bushes can be brushy....just saying

Hope you found it okay and aren't just randomly driving around until it all melts.

Sounds like a nice day. Only 100 plants?

So now we get the rain. So dark right now I had to turn on a light to see my keyboard. Better bring those plants back in soon, W

I will never say I am the hardest worker, cuz to me knowing when to give 110% and when 90 or even 80% is ok.

Sometimes the juice ain’t worth the squeeze. Sometimes it is!

All three of my bosses (Mrs. Wonderer, and the two bosses I have at work), know what I’m capable of doing and appreciate what I can bring to the table.

But when I get locked in. If it’s important. Or a deadline looming?

They'd send me to do punch-out stuff when I worked for the other folks. It was a nice break, because I could do a list that they figured would take well into the afternoon and knock it out in an hour or two. They had no idea what good motivated wood butcher was capable of. I'd wander back for lunch with stuff done and they'd be amazed. They were clueless.
