KateP's musings

As I sit here trying to decompress from Manic Monday I can actually say it was a pretty good day. There were over three hundred pieces of mail from the Post office and very little had to be sent back. There were a few things that have to be readdressed but that can be done tomorrow. I still have to finish the pile of lockbox and then sort and deliver but again that can be done tomorrow as I plan on getting into work early. Today I did a phone survey/interview from a fellow co-worker Kelly P who works in Registration. It was a five question survey on how to make the work place better. I mentioned not having bulk mailings such as the CT medical society (or things of that nature sent to the office but the MD’s homes). When changes are implanted and asked to be relayed to staff members it should be done. I also made mention that peoples attitudes need to be looked at. I let a few people know including Elia V who is a union steward/organizer. She said not to worry about what was said a...

Today is/was Jim’s 58th Birthday. Unfortunately I haven’t done anything for it. No e-card, no snail mail card, and of course no phone call. I am not sure what I feel but I will send him something maybe tomorrow. I have no idea if Mom did or not. It has been quite a hectic couple of weeks for her and she is concerned and a little bit annoyed with him with his choices. Yes I know it’s his choice but she is a Mom and is worried about him. Last night was awesome. Before I left work we picked our secret Santa and I got Lucinda G. Unfortunately I have to guess at what she wants because she didn’t write it on the list. We were not supposed to tell anyone but I managed to tell Cami and Liz. They rolled their eyes. When I left it was shortly before 4 but I managed to get to the polling place before my appointed time and got in and got to vote. I personally didn’t have any problems but I would later find out that there was a fire alarm that morning. There was one while I was there as ...

It is after 2 a.m. Monday Morning. I have been up a few times since my last entry. The reason is because I wasn’t feeling well. I had what I believe to be heartburn (and felt like I was going to yak) and the runs. I wasn’t sure if the smell of the Ben Gay was causing me to feel sick but the other stuff has pretty much stopped. Mom must have woken up because her light is out and has been since 11:30 last night. I hope she is feeling better. Liz seems to think she needs another blood transfusion. She is really pissing me off about this. It seems like she is hoping that this is the problem and not accepting it could be mom’s Medication. Well I better get back to bed. I am going to find music to listen to. I don’t feel like listening to the BBC news. I want music. I finally got some sleep after 3 and woke up around 5. I stayed in bed until 6:30. I showered and dressed and left a little after 7. My stomach was feeling a queasy when I got up. That made me decide to be very laid back about th...
