off the top of my head

MY GUILTY PLEASURE: Just fixed myself a little cocktail it’s one of my new concoctions One big big jigger of Sky Vodka{PLAIN} one 12oz bottle of Henery Weinhard’s hand crafted Orange cream soda–to die for–really.

NETFLIX: I’m on season two of the GILMORE GIRLS–how on earth did I miss this show for the last gazzillion years. Wonderful writing–but really who do you know that speaks like Lorelai Gilmore with all her catch phrases and good god you really have to pay attention while watching this show because there is a chit load of conversation. Like right now, I’m typing this entry and just realized I’ve missed a major conversation point

ok where was I…

JOB OPPORTUNITY:The higher ups are very impressed with me and how I have almost single handedly turned the place up side down and shook all the bad people out. We now have 99% new staff, 100% occupancy + 3 on a waiting list, new administrator, new nurses, the party animal people have been ousted. My secret plan worked out marvelously–the king pin quit and all her cronies went with her–good riddance I say.

So the higher ups in the corporate bubble way up in the sky want me to be the new Health Service Director–a job that is usually offered to a RN. I have been the acting HSD without the pay raise for a couple of months. [sidenote] Our past director resiged after the misfortune of offending many employees during an all employee meeting. She was doing an inservice on Aids and made a major faux pas by stated you can’t get aids by nigger lipping a cigerette. We have several employees who are African American.

So now I need to make a decision–it is a big big pay raise for me but with the pay raise will be a ton of responsibility I would be responsible for 55 dementia residents–family issues, service plans, assessments, scheduling, employee evaluation, STATE SURVEY, incident reports the list of responsibility really does go on and on. I really do enjoy my current job as a staff floor nurse. I love getting my hands in the thick of things and running around like a chicken with my head cut off. If I take this new job there will be more sitting around pushing paper all day……

THE NEIGHBOR: She is now our housekeeper (I don’t like to call her a maid) she is working off the money that she borrowed from us. I’m impressed with her cleaning skills and it’s nice to come home from a hard days work to a nice clean house. There are some issues though I need to tell her she doesn’t have to fold up my thong underwear, I also need to tell not to move my things around to new places, for instance, this morning I couldn’t find my coffee it wasn’t in the spot I have designated for it up in the cupboard to the right of the sink it has been placed there for the last 5 years but no not this morning no coffee. After looking far and wide for it, I finally found it in the freezer…what was she thinking! She also has a nasty habit of drinking the Vodka–like the entire bottle well almost the entire bottle she did leave us a shot-how nice of her.

kudos to you on your job offer! good luck with the decision! so what exactly was your secret plan that worked?

April 7, 2006

I keep my coffee in the freezer too, I have always heard it keeps better there. I couldn’t deal with anyone moving my stuff. Our house is too messy we would be lost.

A maid who drinks vodka. Classic. Congrats of the workplace overhaul! You want it done right – bring in a woman! You rock!

LOL at the vodka drinking maid. can’t trust anyone these days eh? 😀

Wow, well for ONE, I believe YOU can def. do the JOB……YOU ARE WELL worth it…..Your heart has always been in the right place! *good luck* 🙂 AND, the neighbor? is this the one who you were kind of wondering about your soon to be hubs friend? Cleaning your house? folding your thong? Coffee in the freezer? drinking your vodka?

April 7, 2006

That job offer sounds good – go for it! Hearing that your housekeeper drinks your vodka gave me a good laugh. I need a housekeeper sooooo badly. Oh well, must carry on without one.

April 7, 2006

Congrats on the job overhaul, like you I would be in a quandry about the job raise, I too would rather do hands on, but I know you will make the right decision. Maybe a nanny cam for the Vodka guzzling cleaning lady and catch her in the act…just a thought.

Your love of the patients is what did it!! I haven’t heard that expresson in years OMGosh what horrible judgement.

April 7, 2006

What an honor that you have been seen and realized for your talents at work! That is such a compliment! I know those don’t come easy in health care. You really do have some serious thinking to do. I’m sure you would kick yourself down the road with.. what if I had done it.. just my thoughts. Oh and what that director said.. no excuse.. that’s horrible anywhere! I detest that word to no end.

it’s great to hear about the new staff. Hmmmmmm your neighbor is/was related to my ex????? If he had been there your vodka would have disappeared too. And coffee stays fresher in the freezer. But mines on the counter

April 8, 2006

it is your caring and understanding (and work ethic) that has gotten you noticed…congrats…you deserve it… My wife’s mom always keeps her coffee in the freezer…never understood that….

April 8, 2006

Congratulations on earning such a tremendous opportunity. How can someone work off debt while drinking your Vodka? I’d add that cost to the amount owed.

April 8, 2006

I also like to run around work like a chicken w/it’s head cut off – in fact, I love those crazy days…makes the day go by faster! Oh, and coffee stays so much fresher when put in the freezer. =)

April 9, 2006

Well, make sure you put CHEAP vodka in a prominent place, and hide the good stuff! 🙂

April 10, 2006

Congratulations on the job offer….The housekeeping part made me smile..Hide your vodka…

She drank almost the entire bottle of vodka and still did a good job? Whoa. I’m impressed. ryn: I have the Canon 300D, which is the model just before yours. Yours is more compact and shoots at a higher resolution then mine. You’ll LOVE your new camera! Happy Easter. 🙂

April 16, 2006
