Went for an 18 mile ride today up in @Bronze 's neck of the woods...at one point driving home I saw my car register 99 degrees outside air Of course I took it easy and stayed about one gear lower than I was capable of riding, hiked to the top of the dam and rode along it to my favorite covered bench. Saw some boaters on the lake having trouble, the had two kids overboard (no swimming allowed) and hollered to another boat for a tow...other boat started towing them with the kids still in the water hanging onto a rope Idjiuts!!!Finally the towing boat stopped and told them to get the kids on board before they would tow them anymore...yay, someone with a half a brain took control at least I had a free show with my lunch of a banana and a Godiva cocoa brown rice crispy bar I made. good energy density in them rice crispy bars

Well, boats are expensive.

Well, boats are expensive.

A boat is a hole in the water for throwing money into.

To each their own holes...

To each their own holes...

Yeah! I used to know a guy that collected woodpecker holes. I asked to see it, but there was a problem. He considered it unethical and immoral to cut out the surrounding wood. For a purist, it's only about the hole.

I got an old oak out back in the woods. Top of the tree snapped off some years back. The bottom 40 feet still stands. Full of woodpecker holes. Woodpecker Hotel.

Well, thanks! I kind of lost touch with that guy when I left Oklahoma a few decades ago.

Holla all. Not sure if I'm caught up. My first week back at full time was just...difficult. I mean, it was okay..... Just hard.

Dr. Evil did not do a single thing on the plan dude that head boss wants us to do to be "communicating." I mean I go in and say "Um so X Y and Z patient" do you want to "huddle"? (I hate that term by the way, it SUCKS for some reason always makes me think we are doing football not healthcare.)

And he was like, "Oh I don't read the charts and have of them don't show up anyway."

I was like, "Biink. Blink. Blink. Okay. So ah do you want me to ask you MAs about them before I go in or what? and he says that is totally fine, so I do that. Turns out he doesn't tell his MAs anything either (or so they say.) I just read the darn charts going back However Far I had to to find a doctor with some competence so I could read a note. Also checking diagnoses and problems etc.

I went in to tell evil doc how my visit went but I kept it short.

I am keeping a log but I may do this a few more times, recording it, just in case I NEED it. Because we have a f/u meeting with head dude and if I was (well I am) on a performance improvement plan I would freaking READ mine and also STICK to it, if only in the most cursory of fashions.

LOL Evil doc has to keep running home at lunch to Bisbee 80 minute round trip to let the dog out. His wife just left. In the spirit of "milk of human kindness" I did tell head doc if he ever needed a place to stash his dog during the week, he'd be more than welcome to use one of my two (very well fenced) yards I mean one even has a very disreputable but still functional dog house in it. I felt fairly safe in my offer-- I knew evil doc would not take me up on, but I really want to display as much Milk of Human Kindness as I can.

I did not think he would say yes. He did not disappoint.

Check with the MAs. You don't want to get caught not consulting as instructed. Play it straight, play it professional.

 

[Deemac]

Made me think of this.

Exactly how much have you had to drink already?

 

[gnees]

Exactly how much have you had to drink already?

Just the right amount...

 

[stols001]

Oh I consulted with them EVERY time. There is no way this will go down in flames. None. Hence the email I will be sending on Monday after Friday asking him his thoughts about our process. We are "communicating."

Gnees is gone. He's with that lady he has the beer goggles on.
