Which is part of the reason I've not been around. Life without certainty of continued employment has been stressful, but no more so than for others who perhaps experience this on a more regular basis. Our group formed over 15 years ago and, while the hospital has always tried to get the better of the deal, this is the first time many of us have wondered a) if they're really going to boot us out and b) is it worth staying even if they don't. Aside from all the hospital politics DRAHMAH, or in spite of, the contract has been approved. 18 months rather than 3 years ( hospital's choice) and one of our department's strongest members jumped ship and moved to Portland.
It has seriously crossed my mind. But for now I'll wait. I hate change.
ION, three kids in college. Oy! Hopefully a couple will graduate before the end of 2012 (typo was '2021' LOL) Two living at home, one moved onto campus with friends. No potential daughters-in-law yet and no unplanned pregnancies. Yay, team!
Dark, cold, rainy, but maybe flurries tonight or tomorrow! I love snow so long as it covers the grass and looks pretty.
Chessie tries to catch fish in the pond every time she goes out. I've caught her up to her chest in the cold, dirty water. The other dogs couldn't care less about them. I'm mystified but impressed by her perseverance.
My African Gray is obsessed with my Swiffer WetJet and croons at it, trying to coax it into his cage, presumably with amorous intent. Again mystified.
My mother put the kibosh on the only present I could come up with for my dad: OnStar FMV. She insists that he's a good driver at 83, despite family reviews to the contrary. *sigh* I am uneasy about the end of that road. Being a loving daughter, I warned them when they drove to Atlanta in Oct (after i offered to fly them and their golf clubs) that if they were going to die in a fiery car crash they should be sure not to take anyone else with them.
TMI. Sorry. If you've made it this far, know that I love you all and miss you all but really lead a very boring life and have nothing worth reading to report.
