That is good!Today my agenda is taking care of the youngest rugrat, cleaning, working on my book and posting here at MartialTalk.
I have some laundry to fold and I need to run out to the store to pick up a few things. Then off to work at 4.

I really have no chance when the youngest gets sick. His SOP in the morning is to wake up come into our bed and roll over and generally cough right in my face. (no I am not kidding

Taje plenty of vitamins and fluids and hope for the best

Interestingly enough, everything is back to normal. No sooner did my boss get back to work, and he sends out an email stating that a dr. note is no longer required, and I havent heard anything about any disciplinary actions being taken against anyone that was out sick or did not return any order in pages during that time. Bottom line is...the city knew they messed up, they knew that any of the threats they made would not hold up if challenged, so things are back to the way they were. I wasn't worried about anything, because I did nothing wrong. They made these half *** threats because they were grasping at straws. Hey, if they're short staffed, its their issue, not mine.

Toast!!! My wife was pretty sick with a stomach flu last Friday. She stayed home from work. I must've caught is, because I felt like complete **** on Sunday. I stayed out from work that day. Felt better Monday and Tuesday, so what do I do...go back to eating the way I used to. Needless to say, it was a shock to my system and I felt like **** yesterday. So...back to a few slices of toast in the AM, waffles or soup for lunch and soup for dinner. No need to make myself suffer. And like you, I'm sure I'm losing a few pounds myself.

Unfortunately this seems to be the norm lately with most cities. They just do not have the staff generally to get the work done. To many bean counters eliminating positions and eventually there are just not enough people to fill all of the shifts.
Fortunately, nobody is getting layed off. Honestly, I don't think that would ever happen. IMO, the emergency services for the city and town we dispatch for would be pretty much in trouble if that happened. The problem is, is that lately, they tend to want to hire people that already have a dispatching or EMS background. Well, considering the track record and performance of the last group of "qualified" people we got, you'd think that they'd never dispatched a day in their life! And when they hire, they lean more towards 1 or 2. 1 or 2!!! They should be looking at 5 or 6!! Right now, we have 17 people. 6 assigned to days and eves. and 5 to mids. Min. per shift is 4 on days and eves and 3 on mids. IMO, they need a min. of 5 days/eves and 4 on mids. I've worked a few mid. shifts and when the **** hits the fan, we're all wishing that there was an extra body in there. Eves. is one of the busiest shifts. Granted, we have to multi task, but there are some things that you just can't cut short, in order to move onto the next.
