The weekend is here!

I'm not complaining one bit. I've been productive so far today. I had a nice, restful sleep and I woke up to make my breakfast, then to get my coffee and take my car, the family truckster, for an oil change.

After that, I headed to get coffee again (because one really ISN'T enough) and visit my sister. We enjoyed her patio in the gorgeous, only slightly steamy weather.

Now I'm back at home doing laundry and assessing all the tasks I have to do before work Monday.

Again, it's not a bad option, doing chores. I could be stuck doing something completely different.

Hope you enjoy your weekend wherever you are!

Something for the science teachers

My high school science teacher was a nun. She had a sibling (also religious) who would work with her on research and mission projects during summer vacation.

Sister L. was kind of out there but wickedly funny. She was also from Fargo. I could see her laughing about this one.

Many science teachers can appreciate the irony of physics.

Stay tuned...Nobel season continues this week.

Ethical considerations

My boss's boss wasn't sure I encountered any of these in my job in the SU, so she left them off the requirement for my performance review. Consequently, they sent it back and did not review me.

Luckily, she was able to unearth the review this past week and send it back. Of course, it was late. Even more BS to put up with....

Nevertheless, I was not at all surprised when I saw this article about a little boy awaiting a heart transplant.

I have encountered this attitude much more than I'd like at the Hotel and our sister hospitals.

It really makes me sad.
