I am a father, husband, unabashed cat owner, writer of mysteries, and family chief cook and bottle washer. I have reached a point in my life where I hope I have perspective. I try to understand those who disagree with me, I try to help those who need it, and I usually try to see the best in people. Enjoy my posts, disagree with my posts; it doesn't matter. If I make you laugh or challenge an assumption, then my words have not been wasted.

    Don’t worry. The man’s grandchildren’s children will be drafted to stand guard in Gaza with a bullseye on their back. That’s why they elected Trump. Not egg prices. But so that we can secure more ocean-front property for Felon-47.

    Odds are against it, but there are 100-year-old veterans.

    If Elbis gets ahold of that tape, it’s doomed.

    I was on Oxycodone, but I stopped taking it after the first week. And now, 3-weeks later, I am getting around without assistance, all be it, slowly.

    Thank you for your kind words about my book. I would really appreciate it if you posted a review where you bought it. FYI, the next book is about 33% done.

    It’s not pride. It’s worry. In the hospital, I tried to get out of my chair to use the restroom, forgetting that the chair had an alarm on it. Well, it turns out the chair alarm was a good idea. As soon as I stood up, I passed out and hit the floor 24 hours after the back surgery. Now, I have never passed out before. I have never been on a floor and couldn’t right myself. And, I never had to call for help – all this happened, and now, I worry…is this my future? Will I have to have help going to the bathroom in the future? Getting old really, really s*cks.

    Le’letha, I am so sorry for the pain you are experiencing. Decades ago, my graduate degree emphasis was in Human Resource Management. One thing you have to remember is that HR is there to protect the organization, not the worker. I agree that you need to document everything, and I agree that you should try to get a meeting with HR, but remember, the bottom line is that they are not your ally.

    It sounds like your boss is dumping on you because they themselves are unhappy. Rather than internalize their anger and frustration, they are heaping it on you as if making you miserable will improve their lot. Your organization sounds like it is a small school. My suggestion is to seek another job at a different school right now. It is always easier to find a job while you have a job.

    Please keep us informed. Nothing is worse than going to a job that you hate and feeling trapped. Doing that day after day will make you sick.

    Belle and several other cats stretch, and they proceed over the edge of the bed. Then you see claws come out to grab anything they can to arrest the fall.
