Day O'Crap

[loracs]

Work is stressful.  The city's budget goes to council tomorrow and if they pass it, IT will lose 9 people - not positions - actual people.  There are about 100 plus positions cut city-wide, but many of them are vacant, only about 40 are filled.  And we have 9 of them.  Two reasons for this, IT had very few vacant positions and there are several safe departments, topping the list with Police and Fire.  Another is Community and Economic Development.  Also hard hit (as usual) is Parks and Rec and the Library.  They will lose the Bookmobile!  I have such fond memories of the Bookmobile growing up in the midwest.  Each week, I couldn't wait to wander the big bus full of books. 

Work stress started my day, but it gets better.  About 4 pm stonebender  came me the "wonderful" news that his attendant, S, was in the hospital again.  This time they think it's a blockage in her liver.  She went to a different (and I think a much, much better) hospital this time, so I hope she can get the help she needs.  I think the week she spent in the hospital last month in pain might have been the same thing; they might have misdiagnosed her.  Anyway, besides worrying about her too, it means a very early morning for me and stonebender  because I will have to get him up and ready for the day before I leave for work at 7:45 am. 

This is one of those days where I really want a do-over.  Of course, a do-over won't help if I don't have the super power to change things, so never mind.  I'd better get to bed, 5:30 am is only 5 hours away.  Crap, Crap, Crap.

P.S. Once the crap stops, I actually have other stuff to write about - really I do.

*hugs* That sounds rotten indeed. Best wishes to dbubley and S. and to the people in your office who are getting cut, and to the people who will have to manage there without them.

I hope tomorrow treats you better.

I'm working at home; I can get up early and come get Guy up, either before you leave or later if he'd like that better. Call me; I'm up now. Or leave me email.

Oh, honey. I'm so sorry.

I can come put stonebender to bed for a couple weeks if it'll help. And get him up, too, for that matter, but it'd still be pretty early -- I start work at 7:30.

Hugs all round, I hope dbubley and S both get better very soon. So glad you have offers for help already too.

Please let me know if I can do anything to assist you also.

Thanks. You know what they say "If I didn't have back luck, I'd have no luck at all." It's not really that bad, more like "when it rains, it pours." I seem to be unable to write a sentence without a quotation.

Thanks for the offer, I didn't see it until this morning - we headed to bed soon after I posted. I can do it for a little while. Betty is feeling better, I just spoke with her, but who knows when they'll let her out. I'm going to call to see how S is doing; not that I'm expecting her back as work this week or . . . We'll keep you updated.

Talked to B a little bit ago and she is feeling better. Who knows when they'll let her out. I still need to call S and see how she's doing. "If it ain't one thing, it's another" Rosanne Rosanna Danna.

I know you're seeing stonebender tomorrow. We'll see how everything settles out. We'll talk. As always, thank you.
