interesting times..

There have been many changes at my job the last year, mostly with staff members coming and going. I've heard a lot of gossip the past few weeks and have been trying to lay low. Well today, one piece of gossip came true. The Director of Nurses who I can't stand, he seems shady and completely unethical has talked our boss into letting him be my supervisor from now on. I am thoroughly pissed and will be looking for a new job. They pulled me into his office for a long discussion this afternoon and I just sat there calmly and took in the information. Somehow this dirty man has roped my executive director into his dirty little mind. He is like a salesman, all talk with no rhyme or reason for the talk. He can talk himself around in circles but I don't buy into any of that kind of bullshit and I'm really upset my boss(I guess former boss) has. I will be speaking with her tomorrow at length without him there. She tried to tell me that every other community is set up where the social services director is under the DON but I am not stupid enough to believe without seeing in writing.

Other news.. my dad and I had to put our old lady dog down yesterday. Sandy was the greatest dog but it was time for her to go on. She would have been 17 in January so she was old. We made her wear diapers because she had become incontinent off and on so the diapers were to protect our floors. She had a good day yesterday hyper and running around but there had been too many bad days, so my dad finally decided it was time to let her go. It's been a long time coming with several illnesses but my dad wasn't ready to let go. I picked her out at the animal shelter when I was 10 years old. She will definitely not be forgotten!

it's been a while..

I have not had much happening that has been blog worthy lately. Same old work and home. I spent last weekend in Alice with my grandmother and great-grandmother. It was an interesting weekend. My great-grandmother's 98th birthday was Thursday so I took Friday off for my Veteran's Day holiday to spend a long weekend with her and my grandmother.

So it's November and Thanksgiving is next week and it was 89 degrees outside today. That's just nuts. My family is having Thanksgiving in Houston this year for the first time ever. Since it's the first big holiday without our grandfather, we decided we need a change of scenery, we don't need to have it in Alice, it would be too sad. So in Houston, we can celebrate with the new baby around, hopefully it will be a good time!
