Bummer! Do they get the US holidays?

No, so I guess it kinda works.

Glad you're on top of those things, Wat!

You know, funny thing is, it sounds kinda like I'm "keeping score" on these poor people. Like look at how all-over-it I am and how you/they suck. It's not that. I got lucky on reading the thing, but I got in the habit of doing things like that when working for an outfit that employed me when I was in my mid to late 20s. That guy was a stickler, but he had a point. If I missed it, fine, but if I don't check, that's 100% on me.


Happy Thursday!!! Coffee is up-n-running on cup #2. Looks like we have warm and sunny for today and tomorrow, and I head back to the house tomorrow afternoon. I have now officially walked the entire building, all 138 units. I know there's something in there waiting to bite us, but for the moment, Ignorance is Bliss.

Sounds like a very productive day. Be nice to yourself. Grief is not a linear process. View attachment 2344040

Thank you for understanding. Grief is not something our society does well. And it’s not our fault as no one has really told us what a grieving person needs. I tell folks to give me grace for my actions as I will do for you. Give me space sometimes. And let me grieve at my own pace. Again thank you.

Morning everyone!

Don't you just love those management "gotta get everyone together and waste their time" meetings? And why isn't the rest of the group held accountable for information given to them?

One of the things I hated about my job before I retired was that I had very little authority but nearly 100% accountability. I frequently felt I was trapped in an unwinnable Catch 22. Doctors and administrators continually acted as if CMS requirements were my own personal fiefdom!

Them - "Just contact CMS and get this requirement changed."

Me - "That's not how any of this works."

I felt a little of that as a manager and supervisor. always caught in the middle and hearing about it from both sides. I am glad I am retired.

Morning everyone!View attachment 2344084

I rather agree. Good morning @Oldermom935 . You are about the age of my daughter who has a 4 and 2 year old.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

And fortunately I am on cup #2.

I feel much older...lol

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I feel much older...lol

Children do that to parents. I know they made me age fast - LOL. Now, in my golden years, I want to spend as much time as possible with them and to help create memories with them.

 

[Oldermom935]

I went to the park yesterday. Talk about too much government!

 

[Rj_1954]

Happy May Day, RJ! Did you get out and do some naked gardening? It was too cold here for that!

No, unfortunately. But I was naked underneath my sweatpants
It was 49° F in the morning, still too cold in West Central Ohio

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning RJ. Have a good day.

 

[Rj_1954]

Good Morning everyone
I hope your day is fabulous

Bummer! Do they get the US holidays?

I work for an international company and normally you get the holidays from where you are based, so American workers get the US holidays, European the ones in their country etc

 

[Sincity09]

Good morning one and all

 

[Wonderer67]

Funny! I've never seen this commercial. We don't have DD here.

What?? do you live in some backwater little town? You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting 25 Dunkin’ Donuts right here in Jersey.

It’s even worse when you go up to new England there’s one in every corner I think.

Well, you do have Dutch Bros

This might be an unpopular opinion but Krispy Kreme are terrible donuts (coffee too). Donuts have an almost plastic texture

 

[pmichael]

She's a wild one!

Evidently! She is one of those dine and dashers as well.

I can't speak for their coffee (don't drink the stuff) but I quite like their donuts.

 

[Sincity09]

Yeah for me it’s the texture

But everyone is different and that is cool, variety is the spice of life!

It would be so boring if we were all the same with what we like and don’t

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

agree

There are 3 local bakeries that have delish donuts. And one is around the corner and it take great restraint to not visit it there in the mornings.

 

[Sincity09]

Oh yesss

The local/mom and pop are the best!

Where I live apples are grown (actually tons of fruits and veggies), and some of the apple farms make the BEST apple fritters. They are massive, weigh as much as a bowling ball, and if you get there while the donuts are still warm….

Phew ok I might need some quality alone time now and a cig after - and I don’t smoke

I like my donuts!

Too moist and greasy.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Too moist and greasy.

agree and too much sugar

Oh local bakeries including a farm that makes sourdough (doubke rise) bread and pastries are the best. I am hungry thinking about those apple fritters. Now I want an apple dumpling.
