Coffeed up, dog walked, hit the treadmill for 30 minutes today. Ran for 20 of the 30, walked the other 10.

3 eggs scrambled with spinach, mushrooms and Wisconsin cheddah. 2 slices Dave's killer bread with avocado.

183.3 lbs today (after breakfast!) and most of it solid.

Good Wednesday Afternoon to All! It's a hazy 73° on the way to 77° today. Back from the range, had jerk turkey sandwich for lunch and now enjoying a cup of coffee.

Those look badass. Did you buy a set, or piece by piece? I've had a good set of Chicago Cutlery for the last 2 purchases, but they're not high quality.

I have a Wusthof filet knife that I bought... and a German steel cleaver for the wife to chop with so she doesn't use my knives. 🤦

I got a 16 piece set. Like little samurai swords! I had a hodge lodge of stuff that was at least 15 years old.

What's up 500 thread brothers and sisters.

This is my 500th post, so I feel I am worthy to post here now. It was just a personal requirement.

Let's see, I don't know the exact temperature, but I put shorts on for the first time since last summer today.

Hot water tank kicked the bucket today, getting replaced tomorrow, but to make matters worse the tank cracked and is leaking, and the ball valve on the cold water intake line isn't closing correctly so I had to shut the water off to the entire house. Currently turning it on and off to fill commode. Fun times. Hope everyone is getting nice weather and enjoying it.

Recovery Day.
Eventful dog walk.
First, ran into two dogs that looked like something from Star Wars. A cross between those tall, white, Empire fighting giraffes and Chewbakka. Only saw one at first, slowly walking toward the street. No leash or restraints. 100+ pounder. Yelled commands to stop him. He calmly and casually kept walking toward us. Then his near clone started out from the garage.
Kuba (62 pounds of explosives) growled, shot her Brat Streak on her back, barked once. The monster kept walking.

The owner yelled something to his dogs, they slowed but didn’t stop. Kuba danced like Muhammad Ali. The big boys just stood there, body language saying “Dudette, chilllll. It’s casual.”

Owner apologized, but his behemoths were on great behavior. Irish Wolfhounds. 150 pound each. Wow. Just wow.

Then (sigh) a couple streets later, it was like a scene out of Raising Arizona.
In their driveway, 50 yards away, a maybe two year old, shirtless infant in a diaper, and two dogs. A 10 pound 50 shades of ruffled gray and white thing, and the larger, angrier love child of a Bloodhound/Irish Setter/Bast Urd big dog started running toward us.

The little one talked chit, while the other one lunged, missing Sugar Kuba Leonard. The countered with a single connection where the aggressor’s left shoulder meets the neck. It yelped and started trotting toward home. By the time we walked up to their driveway, the boney, haggard, 65ish year old woman (with a heater hanging out of her mouth) scooped up the infant and went inside her duplex behind the two leash-less dogs.

Thoughtless, ingnorant and of stupid is no way to go through life.

My dog walk wasn't nearly as eventful. Shaggy dog we see a lot comes running out of his yard, ignoring mom and dad, beelining for me... because he knows who always has treats in his pockets. 😇

I gave him a snack... he kept nudging my pocket for another, but I kept him distracted while mom came to get him. Can't be mad at the brother... he knows I'm gonna give him a snack.

Can't sleep.

Dreams woke me up twice tonight. One was about an old car of mine I miss dearly. The other was getting chewed out at work for not knowing what I'm doing. Hasn't happened much but I do feel like an idiot there. There's no formal instruction, I'm just thrown in the mix. I don't know people's names let alone the names or locations of the equipment we use and people are getting really frustrated with me for taking too long to figure it out. And today I'm on call today from 7a to 7a Friday which means I have to stay all day until all the cases are done for the day, usually a 12-14 hour shift and be on call all night. I still can not log into any of the computers, drug cabinets, lab devices. I'm seriously doubting whether this was the right move. Still gonna try to stick it out for a year but I'm getting frustrated and they're getting frustrated with me

No onboarding, 1x1s, no guidance?
Unapproachable boss or no boss?
Don’t they have training protocols at all?

Start covering your cornhole. Document, document, document.

With all of the illness related to my aging parents, and death of dad, the thing I noticed is a lack of continuity of care and subpar communication.

Seems it’s all about delivering quickly vs targeting successful outcomes.

Welcome to Thursday peeps.

danm , I think I would discuss this with your supervisor or HR and ask what the HECK is going.
Ask them why no training! ? Good luck in resolving this issue.

Hang in there danm. Sounds like "the new guy on the team" syndrome. Been in a few of those over the years. Goes away pretty quickly once you show 'em you know your chit.
