Happy Hour Chatter

Make it stop!   This week has been insane, and it's only Wednesday!! My co-workers say I'm spicy.  I call it standing up for myself. I normally roll...and roll...and roll...until I can't roll any more.  Then the filter comes off and I speak my mind.  I don't do well with micro managers.  I'm almost 59 years old and have been doing my job for 23 years.  I know what needs to be done...and when.  So when I'm getting emails that 'poke' at MY work ethic, hell yeah I'm going to get spicey!   I've found that communication,  or lack thereof, can make or break anything! . Today was a prime example.  My facility went live in to Phase 3 visitation (from Covid).  All well and good, except I knew nothing about it..and I'm the Scheduling/Visitation officer.  To add fuel to the fire, there was no set schedule .  My immediate supervisor fires off an email that reads, and I quote, "you need to change from Phase 2 to 3 immediately...

This weekend has been a struggle for me, which I believe is why slept so much last night,  Even with the added sleep, today I'm lethargic and very much in my head.  Did you know it is impossible for the mind to hold two opposing thoughts at the same time?  Yep, it's true.   Whe...
