Rep Retirement Lodge #150: Everyone sucks... except Scarlet

Morning Lodge.

No Facebook friend, I am not friending your dog on facebook!

Hey now, Mike Mckenna (SLU grad, '04ish and current Binghamton Sens goalie) has his dog on twitter and can be pretty entertaining. @bauerspeaks.

One of my friend's dogs has a Facebook page, and it is the funniest one I am "friends" with. Hilarious.

I'm trying I remember if I've friended an inflatable seal or not... But I'm younger and I like the seal.

Good morning Lodge! Happy Saturday to you all.

les - yeesh, you win for Worst Friday Ever. You know hardly any of that would have happened if it was Friday of a long weekend.

Our pool is open for business. Get ready for a summer of my in my Get Off My Lawn mode when people break the rules and use the pool in the middle of the night and wake me up.

Going to two cookouts this weekend. Today's is a[milestone] birthday party for my friend that beat cancer last year. She is also pregnant with her first child! She said no gifts because her baby shower is next month. And I know she means it because she was really aggravated that a friend of ours said she was planning to ignore that and bring her something. Her husband is having it catered so she said don't bring any food. I'd bring something to drink but she can't. Maybe I'll bring her flowers. I don't want to show up empty handed but she really doesn't want anyone to bring anything. But it's her birthday.

Supposed to be a beautiful day here today. Not so much for tomorrow's cookout, which is at sometime-poster Jenna's house. She and her family always have it the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Don't think it's going to be a wash out but it will be cloudy. Which is not a bad thing. It's been really hot at this cookout before and that is difficult when you're trying to cook over a grill for 60 people.

Monday I am doing nothing.

Donate to something she really believes in.

This is a better idea.

Just about done prepping Chez Rube for MNS Fest. At least it's a perfect day to stay inside (rainy and blah outside). I will say that those Cuba Libres are going to taste so good....

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #150: Everyone sucks... except Scarlet

Holy crap. I step outside for a smoke, and it's like NatGeo outside. At least a dozen birds and owls making noise all at once.

We had an oriole in our yard yesterday. I couldn't believe it. My first one!

when i started reading this i was hoping you saw native women topless!

I dunno -- in most of those situations, gravity's not been too kind.

Careful, the "virgin" Cuba Libre might turn out to be a little slutty if you taunt the bartender.

Oh, I know that, but it doesn't mean they do. And if anything were to happen (my wake capsizing any small boats type of deal) I'm responsible. I have to literally do everything I can to avoid them, even though they should be out of my way. Messed up, isn't it?

If you can't float with the big boats, stay on the shore!!

We have Mt. les sanctuary here- racoon, turkey, deer, fox, rabbit, and an endangered species turtle all in a 2 week span. We live in the suburbs for goodness sake.

I had a day like Scarlet's that was preculded by a bad evening previous. Laptop suddenly refused to type anything. I could scroll, use touchpad, hit enter or tab but no letters/numbers. Had to reboot. 15 minutes for it to do that. Fastforward to yesterday.They do construction on the road outside my office. I sit 2 car lengths away from the entrance for 10 minutes while they block traffic. I get there and so do the first 3 patients, all at the same time, I am 15 minutes late. My first appt is 30 min late for his 15 minute appt. Now I am 30 minutes behind and I haven't started my day. The EKG machine shiz the bed another 15 minutes. Program makes me change password on my charting.. I do. Schedule looks like doodoo. My schedule is a CF, there is only one receptionist on, she is freaking, I am the person in charge. I have a sick pedi who didn't follow advice and is now sig sicker, old ladies who are deciding to swirl the bowl (usually complex and not good when things are busy). I get labs back on someone that are NOT GOOD. I need to call them but my lunch is now over. I call, I now am 30 minutes behind before starting the afternoon. COnstruction is continuing. People are not on time, so I can't catch up. My laptop internal battery is dead and I am having to plug in in every exam room. I forget during one 10 min visit and it dies. I reboot. I try to log on. It doesn't like my password. It tells me I need admin to let me in. I call our IT person who does this part time (it is 4:30 Fri, on Mem Day WE). He does not have ability to override. Needs to call main co. I am now without a computer, it is going on 5PM. I can use someone elses to look at my stuff but I can't sign anything off, I can't RF prescriptions, I can't take any actions because I am not under my name. I am feelling slightly insane. The IT persone gets back to me at 5:30. The new password didn't register when I typed it. They reset me. Meanwhile my computer has been inactive I need to reboot the whole thing which is about 10 minutes. I get on at 5:45. The nurses have now all gone home which means I have to do what I do and what I would normally delegate. Meanwhile people are paging my boss about stuff that I saw in the day because they are trying to circumvent that I didn't do what they want and it is a long weekend and about refills that they called in at 4PM that are an EMERGENCY!11!!1!!!1! because they are all out. Well we have a message on that line that says we need 48 hr notice. I didn't have a computer for most of that time. So when I RF it, being nice before the weekend, I am not wanting to hear that it is my fault. (Thankfully, neither is my boss who handed that person a piece of her butt). Then I get home at 7:30 to find out that Mr, who was golfing all day with his buddies had abdicated responsibility for dinner because he didn't know what he wanted. I still have yet to don one chart from yesterday. Guess what I will be doing part of the weekend GRRRR!

On a happier note I get to dig in my garden today.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! silly saturday

Any truth to the rumor about their being a cougar spotted around in your neighborhood as well??


3 more wagons in last night. Would have been a fourth but our supplier was having an issue with a wagon and didn't think it was exactly road worthy at the time. Needs Ducttape, bailing wire, and a 2x4 I guess. The rain holds off this weekend, I could be all done with our hay by next weekend.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #150: Everyone sucks... except Scarlet

Medium rare ribeye and a baked potato for lunch. Why is it that I don't quite figure my steak grilling out until the very last one. They've been more towards medium than my preferred medium rare lately (which I don't mind, but anything beyond that is a waste IMO.)

Wasting time on my laptop while tethered to my droid for another hour, then back up to go through Cincinnati. Looking forward to going past the cityfront, especially the ballpark, since I've seen a game there and was able to see the river.

It's like pancakes. You might as well plan on chucking the first two or so. (Pancakes, that is. Don't throw out the steaks, please!)

I would never do such a thing. That's against my deep rooted faith in the red meat God.

When Jr. was taking a break from his homework this evening, he was figuring out how to play "Soft Kitty" on the recorder and piano. He had no problem on the piano, recorder took a little longer. Waiting to see if he tries it on the trombone too.

Beautiful breeze coming in right now. It was a lot cooler than they forecasted today. I don't think it touched 80 today. The next two days are going to be a completely different story. We're looking at mid-90's the next two days. Thank God I don't have any yardwork of any significance.

Sigh.. Beautiful day today - not a cloud in sight and 70. Tomorrow looks if-ish - maybe showers and upper 60s. Monday - yuck.
