School is ALMOST out

But I think Bubba's mind is turning to mush already. We worked on the health class project this weekend and of course, had to make last minute changes today before school. However, Bubba forgot to have me sign something this week, so he lost some points for this week. I sign whatever is in front of me, but I make him be responsible.

Tonight, for some physical activity, we decided to go to the rec center, shoot hoops and then play some pickleball. We really just practiced while a foursome played, but Bubba got to learn some skills and watch people play. Hopefully,  this summer, he'll get to play with other kids (and not boring old grownups).

Just counting down the days...stay tuned!

How to tell if your boss is an idiot, part 2

Or how to tell if your boss and his/her boss are not getting along.

Since Madison requires that nurses transferring to the clinic I'm going to be oriented and trained by our crack corporate training staff (Employee Edu-mucation), I told my boss once I found out what the training schedule was, as this needs to be completed soon.

1.Send e-mail to boss. Boss says "Sure, go right ahead." (which is totally unusual, since Boss doesn't usually act like he/she cares about anything right away.

2. Read this e-mail. All is good. Will talk to admin person (who coordinates all the details) in morning.


3. No, boss comes out and says "Read your e-mail." His/her boss says, "No way are you just going to that training. You have to submit Form X to Committee Y and get approval from Director Z before you can even think about going to that."

And the final line (after Boss's boss CC's  the corporate training director, chief nurse and other minions -- 4 in all).

4. Boss's boss says, "Please fill out form X and send in ASAP so we can get this done."

5. Needless to say, once I looked down from the computer, I noticed it was time to go home. And so I left this paper for another day...

Stay tuned ...
