I have been at my place of work for just over a year. In the time, I have become 5th in line in seniority at one of the largest employers in our area......yea, that sounds bad.
It is not a bad place to work. I really enjoy my job.
In a corporate effort to save money, we work twelve hour shift, which is massively draining. We have had three DON's, the job is stressful, made more stressful by the hierarchy which are all related.
At our facility, being Director of Nursing is a bit like being the guy in the blue shirt on Star Trek, by the end of the weeks episode, you will be gone. I liked the last two DON's very much. The first rolled up her sleeves and did anything needed. The second worked long and diligent hours trying to make real improvements. Now we have a third.
The third spent all morning texting me on my only day off to see if I would come to work, got the Administrator to text me to come to work, and used a cell phone to try and mandate me. They can only mandate by phone, by speaking directly to you. They cannot leave a message, they cannot text.
I am sometimes a reasonable person. I looked at the schedule. I would be following a lovely, gregarious lady, but a shit employee. Cleaning up after her laziness on my one day off, not happening. I already have to work double to clean up after her on my scheduled days. The new DON will have to clean up after her, but she won't. do that. I'll be going back Monday to a heck of a mess.
Al things considered, my phone is going on Airplane mode and I will be planting flowers.
Poor, poor, management.

Ever since a local coffee shop moved into this building and put the giant cut out coffee mug up, I have wanted this picture. The cup is several feet from the bear, but at just the right spot, well the bear is savoring some Java.
On a side not during the last election someone painted Trump all.over the bear. It has since been painted.

The other day while in the hot tub one of my yard birds landed on the edge and began chirping. Not being fluent in chirp, I translated the dialogue as follows, "So your bird bath is up and mine isn't." Today, I politely rectified the problem.

There once was a whole building attatched. Now only the tower remains.

Dating in the Modern World

Has anyone else seen all the T. Toks and vloggers out there doing excerpts on dating or dates? I mean wow.
They remind me a little of why I stopped "dating". A woman was taken to a nice place (granted not high dollar), but quite nice. She had a meal that was about a third of the average weekly income and was angry. She made a video ranting about how mistreated she was, not because the man wasn't a gentleman, but because he did not go broke to date her. I was honestly very impressed by the young man, who while flustered by her attitude, maintained complete composure.
Where I live, in the vast wilderness, grown-ups really don't date. We hunt, we fish, we hike, we explore, we visit historical sites and sometimes go for coffee or ice cream after.
Not expensive dates and often free, all great ways to get to know each other and spend time together. We also have Casino dates, where you pay your own way, hang out and have fun. Not really a great way to get to know each other, but they can be fun. If you make it to a point where you would like to take your date to a super nice place, it is a one to three hour drive. At the dinner hour in my town there is pizza, take a way Chinese, and burgers. So for a sit down, slow dining experience, its one hour to Escanaba, with Four decent choices or three hours to Green Bay with endless fabulous choices. This is most likely a contributing factor into really knowing where the relationship may head before "dating".
I think this may be what has collapsed the long-distance trend as well. I did the whole long distance dating trend when it was the new hot thing to do. I also attended a lot of weddings that began that way. So, it did have its successes.
Anyway, How do you feel? Has "dating" gotten out of hand? Should there be a handbook?
Also what are your feelings on dating?
