Cloudy and 40. Winds out of the NE 15 mph, gusts to 25.

Kuba walk complete. An all business trip for her. As usual, into the wind for the first half of the walk. A total of maybe 10 sniffs on the day. She just kept the legs moving. Two miles in 40 minutes.

In the Lucky 8track Flex of the Day, I get to go back to back dentist appointments. Yesterday was confirming a crown is needed. Due to someone else’s cancellation, I get the build up and pre of the crown today.

And YOU thought he had the best day in store for you. Scoreboard!

Good afternoon all. Another nice day here high around 70.

Plumber is here replacing my water heater. Just in time. I was thinking of calling that lume/Mando chick and asking her if she wanted to rate the smell of my azz crack right now. Apparently she's into that sort of thing.

Taking son to the hockey game later today. Go Pens.

Dan, it always sucks being the FNG. Just ignore the unrealistic expectations from the ones stressing you.

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.

It's just completely unstructured. With a different nurse every day, sometimes multiple per day so none of them know where I'm at in training. I'm in different rooms different procedures etc I get this is how real life is here but I'll start getting the hang of something or start to get a handle on inventory locations and stuff, then it's on to something else. I was hoping there would be some formal education on the way it goes but I just get thrown in the mix and expected to pick it up.

Just very very frustrated. Don't help either I went from telling everyone what to do, to being the FNG.

Good Thursday Afternoon to All! It's 77° on the way to 81° today.

Changing out the flush and fill valves on the two other bathrooms today. The fill valves are 2003 vintage, the flush valves were replaced in 2019, but decided to replace them now.

Was supposed to take the wife and kids to the Grand Canyon this weekend, but there is supposed to be 5 inches of new snow tomorrow up there. No thanks, we will go another time.

I thought the sky at night was the best part of the Grand Canyon. It's a certified dark earth area because of so little light pollution. The dark earth society went around the park and removed all the unnecessary lights and put hoods over the necessary ones, they've been at it for years.
You can see the milky way galaxy plain as day. Only time Ive ever seen it. You can also see the starlink satellites if it's clear enough.

Yep... when I was stationed in Crete our flight line was pitch black at night, and the base was out in farm land. You could see every dang star in the sky and I never realized how many shooting stars (meteors) I would see every night.

Am on the Cigar & Booze DL for seven days.
Oral surgery this afternoon for the fractured tooth from a couple months ago.
Got lucky on the angle it broke. The break ran perfectly parallel, three millimeters from the nerve.
Had to cut away the gum line to clean it out (no infection). Two sutures.
Waived off the offer of RX painkillers. Will try the ibuprofen route.

7 days ain't nuttin'... you'll be ayite. Try 6 months in a desert... no booze or beer (except that one time I found Heineken with arabic writing on it), sleeping in a tent, not smoking cigars and occasionally having rockets and mortars fired at you.

You got off light!!

Sorry... not much of a pep talk. 😰
