Good morning, everyone! Think that says it all? Hope you have a great day; I know I will, as I am off. Got some things to do, and planning on doing them.

For those who need it, here's some coffee.

need to get in gear and get some things done today been sitting around playing farmtown too much 1 week until I go back to the beach YIPPY 95 here today with storms this afternoon

You can keep the heat down there, for all I care. Main reason I will not go back to Florida (plus the price.....).

Storm warnings here, but I can handle it.

Well it's been nuthin but rain here... I've been working in spite of but it all but, I'm getting pretty tired of it already. Tomorrow it's time to load the trailer and haul away all the sh-- I've been pulling out of the basement. I think I heard the house breathe a sigh of relief.

On the workfront, I expect to return sometime during the month of July and as luck would have it, my anniversary hence performance review, is in early August. I've been wanting to get all of that annual competency crap out of the way and since it's the program is available to me online, I think perfect! I'll do it from home and get it all out of the way.

This morning, I attempt to log into that system and find that my password is deactivated. When I called, I found out that since I'm on a surgical LOA, my password was automatically deactivated to prevent me from working on anything that I would ordinarily be paid for. How thoughtful of them... I find out that I could request a waiver from HR who would then communicate with the ST disability company and blah, blah, blah. What a pain in the a--.

Anyway, I suppose I can do all fifty million mandatory inservice programs as well as my performance review all within the first two weeks of my return. No sweat.

Geez, Ricu; what a load of crapola. But would typing strain you any more than the housework you're doing at present?

Storms went flying though here. What a deluge. Folks are w/o power as usual. Happens all the time, too.

I am heading off to bed, as tomorrow will come all too soon.

Yeah, my hospital can really be Crapola R Us, for sure. All of the email over the last month has to do with our Magnet Moments... Gag me. In general however, I've worked worse places.

I actually saw something really strange here today. There was this big, bright thing visible in the sky this morning. Not knowing what was happening, I nearly panicked! Then, suddenly it dawned on me, I was seeing the sun! The weather channel put me immediately at ease by informing me that it would be temporary, rain would begin again shortly and last for several days. Thank God.
