Shoes are the enemy??

Jan 30, 2012 16:26

Tracy always feels superior to me when she hears work stories because for the most part she doesn't have to deal with these sorts of people. Yes, the industry I work in has a lot of crazy people. It happens. After awhile it gets really tiring. I try to find the humor in it, really I do. The worst part is when the crazies come back. I'm sure ( Read more... )

Trip to Europe, huh? Sounds awesome! I'm curious, did you find a good deal for it? I'm sure you'll have a great time!

You better watch out...maybe Catie likes ALL flip flops!

Honestly, I didn't get that good of a deal, but it was the package that I kept going back to. Also, I didn't want to go too traditional with the hotels as many are teeny, tiny without elevators. That would probably be a struggle for my Mom.

Catie has done this with shoes before. She attacked one of Tracy's flip flops before. But we have had many, many pairs that have come through and she hasn't had any of these issues. Maybe the shoe did something to her when I wasn't watching!?!

Wow, that sounds like a fabulous vacation! I'm sure you will have a great time! You said 3 months, so it must be April or May that you are going?

I want to do a road trip one day this summer to Rocky Mountain House. They have a national historic site there where their fort was: http://www.pc.gc.ca/lhn-nhs/ab/rockymountain/index.aspx
Joe and I went there before but it was closed and I cried a little. They have bison! They are only open May to September. It is 2.5 hours one way so that would put some miles on Isadora!

I have a coworker currently who is just about as bad as Karen. She really is just there to socialize. And she has figured out that I don't like her, so keeps trying to befriend me. There have been lots of complaints about her (from coworkers, patients, families, doctors) so I'm hoping she won't last that long.

I'm off on May 5th, it's just over 90 days away! Yeah, I'm counting!

Bison is always a good reason for a road trip, Rocky Mountain House looks like fun! And that is an impressive amount of trails.

The saddest part about the work issues is that the union will let her stay until she's ready to go. I think I'm too tired of her to even try to be nice anymore. Hopefully she doesn't try to be my friend despite this...

Hooray! I'm already excited for our road trip! I don't know how exciting it will be, I'm sure it's not Fort Edmonton caliber. But if it's a nice day there should be enough entertainment for us wandering the trails. And it only costs $3.90 each to get in.

Oh the unions.... they do make it hard to get rid of people. I get that they protect me against evil management (who certainly have their share of evil) but they also make it impossible to get rid of terrible people.
