A co-worker has her radio tuned into a religion talk show this morning and its driving me completely insane.
I'm positive that she would turn it off if I asked her to. But I don't want to deal with the look in her eyes that says "Ms.B, you are a sinner!"
I'm a poosie.

Missing Mischief
Mischief isn't at work today (or likely much of this week at all!) because of the passing of her father. So far as I know it was unexpected.
Mischief, we miss you and hope you and your family are doing as well as can be expected at this point in time.
My poor friend. I'm sad that her heart is broken right now.
:(

Dream Weaver
I've noticed a reoccurring theme to many dreams that I've had over the past couple of years. Each dream is a little different. But the underlying story is always the same.
I am in college, and it is either half way through, or almost the end of the semester. I am happily plugging along when I suddenly realize that I've not bothered to attend one (or sometimes ALL!) of my classes and there isn't a way to drop the neglected course now.
I always wake up before resolving the problem.
Considering that I received my Associate of Arts in *cringe* 1997, its odd that I am having dreams about school. REALLY ODD.
I should research online about the meaning of dreams. Might be interesting to see what experts would say are the cause of these dreams.

When "Hello" is Not Enough
Gus spent yesterday morning here at the care center with me. He ran up and down the halls greeting his friends here and eating everything he could find on the floor. After a couple of hours, his "ride" showed up and I was able to continue the work day without distraction. (Thank you for picking him up on the way home from licensing my car, DH! He had loads of fun, as always.)
Dinner time is chaotic at the care center. Forty-five individuals all converge on the dining room and begin the process of waiting for the kitchen to bring on the grub.
While waiting for her meal, one resident beckoned me over and asked me where my dog was. As I chatted with her about how he had gone home with his Daddy, another resident decided she wanted my attention as well.
Her method for gaining that attention? She grabbed my left breast.
*HONK*

What's in a Title?
The guy is an idiot. Maybe not as stupid as his predecessor, but never-the-less. Dumb.As.A.Brick.
Stubborn. Proud. Won't hear anything you tell him even if it means his downfall.
No common sense.
My only consolation is that I can come on this blog and vent out all the frustration that is swelling within me. Hell.

Monday Humor
As told by my friend Kim:
A young blonde is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory. She shows up for her first day of work promptly at 8am, and the Personnel Manager gives her instructions and sets her to work. By 10am, there's an angry knock at the Personnel Manager's door and the Foreman storms into the office. He begins ranting about the new woman, saying she's incredibly slow, the whole line is backed up, and the production line is already behind schedule.
So the Personnel Manager decides to go down to the assembly line to see what the problem is for himself. When the PM and the Foreman get to the floor, the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmos all over the factory floor. The young woman stood at the end of the line, surrounded by a mountain of Tickle Me Elmos. She had a roll of red plush fabric and a bag of marbles.
The two men watched in amazement as the young woman cut a small square of red plush fabric, wrap it around two marbles, and sew it between the legs of a Tickle Me Elmo... realizing what she was doing, they erupted in hysterical laughter.
Finally calming down, the Personnel Manager says, "No, no no... I said to give each Elmo two TEST TICKLES!

You Gotta Love it Baby
NBA Finals begin today.
The first game (of four!) starts in half an hour and already Ms.B is glued to her television. Her husband has been warned that the entire day will be filled with basketball. He's currently hiding in the kitchen washing dishes. Prefers manual labor to basketball, eh?
Somehow, amidst all the hoops, there is the underlying hope that household chores and a few projects will also be accomplished.
Oh YEAH!

Some things never change
Once again, the new staff that were hired for the afternoon shift have all quit and we are down to just a few people.
When are they going to learn to stop treating the new staff like shit?
I guess they just enjoy having their little clique of four on that shift instead of the 10+ they should have.
So be it.
I don't want to do Human Resources here anymore. Let someone else do it. Rehab Aide is enough to keep me busy.
......................
On a separate note, I've been creating some new "rumblings" of my own regarding other positions available here at the care center. Not sure that it will make any difference, but I feel better just knowing that I put my two cents in.

Sudden Realization
This blog tends to get filled up with stories about my pets. Granted, they are my "children" and a huge part of my life. This blog is about my life, therefore the critters are featured prominently. But in all my ramblings I just noticed that, while I've shared nearly all my pets pictures with you, I've never posted one of Gizmo. I've shared pictures and video of the dogs. And pictures of Stockton, Fluffy, and recently of Basil. But no Gizmo.
Gizmo! My pride and joy. The very FIRST baby of them all. The alpha cat. Our "Walmart Greeter" that welcomes every person who comes to visit our home with a purr and a grin. The creature who was my very best friend when I was a single gal.
And so, to remedy this situation, I present to you my Gizmo. The coolest cat I've ever known.

Two Days/Two Weeks
It took two days for Basil and Gizmo to fall in love with Stockton and welcome him into the Haven. It has taken two weeks for Fluffy to do the same. Not until this morning, was she willing to wrestle and play with him and seem like she was actually enjoying it.
Granted, there have been signs that this was coming. For a few days now he's taunted and teased her and pounced around her and she's tolerated him. Yesterday they were even semi-playing in a cute fashion. The only draw-back was that during their entire "play" she was growling and rumbling as if she were about to explode. (I wish I had that on video. It was actually quite funny. "Grrrr... *pounce, frolic* Grumble... Hiss... Spit *play*")
The whole experience has us wondering what her reaction will be when Granny Dog and Chloe go to rainbow bridge and a new puppy comes to stay. Hopefully that's a number of years away still and by then Fluffy will have matured a bit more. And maybe a dog is a whole different story than a kitten. OR, maybe she'll grab her suitcase, pack up her stuff, flip us the 'bird' and take off down the road. Never to be seen again. Judging from the look of things now, she'll likely pack Stockton in her suitcase and take him with her.
