I could sure go for a pastrami and provolone sammich about now... 😟

Hello Friday & hello one and all....................[ram27bat]

Good Friday Afternoon to All! It's 51° on the way to 54° today.

Shenanigans on shenanigans to fix the shenanigans, but all good... shenanigans.

Meandering aro7nthe house after an abbreviated dog walk. 13 wc -1 not good for Miss Kuba’s 🐾.

Too much to do this morning/afternoon, so I might decide to do nothing.

Happy Friday y'all!

Snowing here in Horsham PA 😰

Twenty SEVEN [ram27bat]

Finally got out of the bunk and got on the road. Talked to customer last night. He told me it was highly doubtful they would be able to unload me early. I’m going to their busiest store in the US. He said they all of their appointment slots from the time they opened until my 14:00 was full. So instead of arriving early and potentially running out my 14 workday clock before running out my 11 hour drive shift I slept in. Just means I won’t shut down in Brawley until around 23:00. No worries though. I’ll be able to leave in plenty of time get home Monday and make dinner for my daughter, my ex (it’s complicated) and myself.

TWENTY NEIN 😰

Dirty Thirty...

6000+ steps on the dog walk, back/bicep gym day, 30 minutes of run/walk on the treadmill and a Costco run. 13,500+ steps today. Showered, had a protein shake and now relaxing for the rest of the day in my flannel PJ's.

Chicken tenders and broccoli on the afternoon menu. Maybe a beer to go with it.

Snow 🌨 removed from Jeep. [frypan]

Marked safe from snow.

Did you rescue any bats..?? 😕

I’ve seen my elderly mother kill a bat with a broom…. 🤦

Well, the old guy pulled it off again... but it was close. The kid (26) is getting better and I'm getting older and rust never sleeps. 🌫

Well done DED..

Made sure my phone was off today so HR wouldn't wake me up to remind me I'd be working dayshift.

They did call. But it was to offer the job. $6.50 paycut on my hourly rate which really sucks but staying where I'm at and bitching about the changes hasn't been working out for me. I stuck it out through covid despite many opportunities to leave for big money. Several former coworkers paid off their homes in a year of covid contracts. I stuck it out for 3 years waiting for the position I built to open up for me but that got bastardized into the exact thing I was trying to prevent. There's inbound directives from the ceo to increase workload and some other things that really just don't work for me. To stay where I am without trying something different would be the wrong move.

I also made it clear to my direct supervisors that the next time I float to a unit I don't work on, I am leaving. I don't care where to, I am leaving. I floated on Christmas, and that's when I put the applications in. I can't make that threat and not follow through.

I don't know how I'll adjust to days, especially going back to working 5-6 days a week like a normal person. I'm hoping I can still use PTO fairly often and do my Gridlife stuff. I don't know how I'll handle the on-call, that drove me away from my last attempt to leave bedside and that was less call hours than this is. But I also got sober last year and being on call isn't as much of a hinderance to my daily habits as it once was. I'm going to give it an honest try.

Good luck, Danm. I really hope it all works out for you.

Wonderful danm,congratulations and best of luck with your new job. =d>

Good luck Damn.. 👍
