KateP's musings

  Yesterday ended well despite a chaotic committee meeting. We requested help for "Move in Day" on August 23rd, and initially, one person refused. After notifying Barb, the union steward , the person reconsidered with conditions, which we discussed further on the way home. Barb will speak to AC when she comes to the office next week. I finished my work early in the day which allowed me to do a few other things like updating job duties and writing here and correspondence that is important to send.  But it would be nice if I stopped telling on myself again. Bob finally gave me the help. He added a few more things to the request for the chair so now I need to submit it. I really don't want to

  t’s been an eventful week. After the CFO resigned last Friday, I shared the news with the committee after hearing it from Ann and Leslie. I’ve since felt some distrust within the office and regret discussing my concerns with a finance staff member, worrying about potential fallout. Anxious about the state chair request, I asked Bob for help; he’s reviewing the details and will guide me. We have a committee meeting today where we expect more updates, including potential contract news. Finally, the discovery of a mouse in the office provided some laughs, though many seemed skeeved out by it.

  I was thrilled to finally see a coyote and deer over the weekend, a welcome change from the usual small wildlife. However, I am increasingly frustrated with Donj, my neighbor. Despite paying for a window repair not yet completed, the gutters he supposedly said were cleaned still overflow like a waterfall, washing away the mulch. His intrusive personal questions have only added to my irritation. Regarding neighborly etiquette, I am concerned about kids riding bikes directly onto private driveways and front door areas. I would like to address this at the next board meeting, as I find it intrusive. Additionally, I find it quite "ballsy" that a neighbor parked in Liz’s driveway without asking for permission first.  That was during Sis’s stay at the nursing home. I've been reviewing my bills and emails. I have a large electric bill due soon and an overdue car emissions test. While my hot water tank, dishwasher, and laundry appliances are currently working fine, I need to sta...

  Once again this week  I have had some gastric issues.  Most recently today.   I am going to go through notes from Dr Sonia and find her suggestions gastro dr to replace the one who left.  I hope to get into Yale AND USE EPIc.  Hartford  health care has a different site.  We will see what happens. I finally  contacted the urologist  who was on vacation until Friday.   I explained what was going on and now I have an appointment at 3:15 Tuesday.  They haven't  canceled the one in October but maybe the will  next week  I tried to change my cardiologist  appointment on September 2.  It's late in the day. I was hoping to move it earlier that day but  l was unable to get it changed. I didn't get to meet with Debra. I believed she wouldn't  be available and I went to the meet up.  Subsequently she called and  she was available.  So we agreed to  meet in ten days to two weeks....

  Early Tuesday morning Gillion asked us where we wanted to meet this week and probably and now definitely meet today since Wednesday was looking like it wasn’t happening.  I could help but think we might be changing the mid week thing to a day more feasible.   We met that night at the panera (4 of us) place and we discussed moving it to a different day,  ultimately Wednesday remains the same but the location will be the Panera.  Gillion said she will fix it when she has time.   PJ chimed in and she loves Panera but she suggested moving the time to 6.  She said whe she started it was at 6.  I vaguely remember it being that but we moved it earlier because it would end up being late when we get out.  I personally like it when it's earlier because depending on the week I get home earlier. I have already looked at the calendar and the 19th I have an appointment so I won’t be going then. I do remember that I mentioned that summer is hard...

  Every Monday I expect my day to be busy. Most of the time it takes all morning to prune the three days of health logic and print them out. Sometimes at least one is high volume and the others  are normal.  Sometimes, like today, the website gives me a hard time with my password and ends up having to reset.  Which was annoying to me.   I also need to do the claim forms too.  Those were not so bad today.   I probably won't get to scanning until late afternoon.   Before leaving I was able to get a batch of refunds scanned.   I will do the rest tomorrow  I am. Also expecting  ga/gargoyle to show me what she does  with the mail that  goes to the hospital.  She is going  on vacation soon. It went well Wednesday the union is having a flash rally at the school of management during former president Salavoy's speech. I was talking to Gina Friday  about  Thursday's committee meeting.   She told me that...
