Anyone reading Shades of Grey? I must admit I am engrossed, not like Mr Grey but men should read it if they have no idea what they are doing.

Not reading it. I started "Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett yesterday and made it up to page 95 so far...but...putting it aside for now to read another book because I am not as into Pillars as some others said I would be. I was promised it was the kind of book that would thoroughly engross me and I would not be able to put it down.

Be careful what you wish for. I added a new photo in my album.

Hi all! I know, you've all missed me while I've been economically/jobbily shifting my wife and I's lives hither and tither all over the western U.S. Tried New Mexico now we're back in Idaho, this time in Coeur d' Alene, looking for work. Which right now is like picking and pulling your fingernails off one by one. I'm wondering what happened to common decency in the workplace? I can't believe the rudeness in employers these days. Sickening. I won't work where people won't stop barking at you and won't treat you with respect. It might be a medical field thing? Dunno. I'm about done with medical and am strongly considering selling Dodge's for a very successful Idaho Chrysler/Dodge dealer. I'm sick of the Allied Healthcare field. It's falling ta pieces and it's filled with way too many know-it-alls! It's not the respiratory therapies it's their stupid little old-school processes for filing this or recording that. They're so loaded down with crap that the long-time worker's eyes have all turned brown. Then they're going to backstab you to the Manager. I think they're all jealous of me. Goofy, time-consuming processes that they expect you to have down in two seconds or they start conjuring up the 'F' work. No, not the 'F' work you're thinking of. So here I sit looking for work. Again.

No one can give you a minute or two to pick something up in their process. Excuse me, dorks, I'm registering what you said for just one moment. Sick of it.

Man, I was last on here about June 22nd or a shade of silly a couple days or the other. LVD-man, jump into rehab or whatever you're doing and make yourself better. I support you wholeheartedly and will pray for you.

Anyone seen aqualung lately? I've read so many of these posts ta catch up in here my eyes have turned quagmirish. Now that I'm coming back on here it'll be fun ta re-connect. Sounds like LVD has an idea of how he can get back on track. I'm working on my gig-thing.

Anyone else up for dispensing or needing Linus and Lucy advice for 5 cents at the neighborhood stand? Life just continues to impress me in so many ways I cannot list them all here.

So I won't.

Thanks for the rep, whoever gave it to me. My wife and I are really having a hard time lately and are facing losing our Lancer and being homeless. My wife has found two Culinary jobs and our son is thinking about taking a labor-ready job planting trees in St.Maries, ID, starting tomorrow. But we are struggling big-time and what's such a pisser is there's no need for things to be this way if more people in the Allied Healthcare field had more brains and/or more of a heart. Frickin' fed up with this job field and I do say that a change is in order...quick!

Take Late Night Cruisin`s advice, move on. I worked as an insider for the court system in a state in the US. My state was notoriously corrupt and I bet that Nevada`s is too. You will get no justice unless you have the money to pay the judge off even then it is iffy. Just saw a tee shirt that sums it all up,
" A good lawyer knows the law
a great lawyer knows the judge"

Good Luck you will need it!

It hit 100 degrees in Des Moines today. It's actually 100 now, with a heat index of 111. The humidity is really pretty low (45% or so) but the dew point is in the low 70s so it's pretty muggy out there. I spent about 4 hours at the waterpark today, much of it laying in the shallow end of the wave pool, letting the waves roll over me. This is our first actual 100 degree temp in 6 years, though we have had heat index readings of well over 100 many times, sometimes in the 120 degree range.

I LOVE IT!!!

I know 100+ degree temps are normal in Vegas, but factor in the humidity here and it can be an issue. (not for me, I am celebrating!) I am not letting any animals out today. The dogs are let out but I am bringing them right back in after they potty. They love the heat, but I don't want them to overdo it. Also, a beach towel was a MUST in the car today. 100 degrees + leather car seats + top down = burnt tush. Of course I still drove with the top down...I just had the AC on as well.

Of course not being used to it, the sun zapped me. I took a 2 hour nap after getting home from the water park

I work in a LTC/Rehab facility, and I walk on eggshells every minute I'm there. They may as well put pic's of shooting flames along with the devil on the front doors, as I feel like I'm entering the Gates of Hell when I go in there!

We're all potential victims of this over-supply of labor today, they can make hair-raising, super-human demands on you, and get away with it! With the increasing cuts in Medicaid/Medicare it's only going to go from worse to worst to the very worst! I'm now taking care of 25 patients on the nightshift! What's next? We've gone from 7 aides on the nightshift to 4, and down to 3 with the next cuts? 33 patients instead of 25?

And dare you complain!!! They're right there to say: We've got 50 applicants waiting to take your place!

The nursing shortage (there is no such thing!) will only get worse. Many got fed up and quit before the first rounds of Medicare/Medicaid cuts, more left after the 2nd & 3rds cuts, more will leave after additional cuts, creating a greater nursing shortage.

But it doesn't matter what field you're in today, the same attitude prevails: Shut up! Be happy you have a job! There's a multitude of applicants waiting to take your job!

It was the mid 100's here today, but thank god, it was low humidity. 45% humidity is yucky to me. That's not low, 11% is low. What we are used to.
Some day the monsoons will roll back in, and then trying to stay cool is impossible. Luckily the humidity doesn't visit too often. But I miss the thunderstorms, and rain rain rain!

Agreed.

Look at the madness in Manhattan right now. Every summer I spent there bought me closer to the brink of madness because of the humidity.
