We made it to the VA hospital and they can't find M's info. I had to go to the restroom so when I left him they were trying to bring up any of his info.

If we made this trip for nothing....I'm going to be so frustrated

Post Deleted!

I hope they found the info and were helpful, askye.

Sorry about the double post.

After much calling around and thinking be had to be in Columbia it turns out he had to be in Anderson. Which is also about an hour from our house. I thought M had taken his anxiety meds this morning but he didn't . And now he is super anxious and it's in the car

However since we are right here we went to the ER ...(The person in podiatry suggested it) So be can get it looked at here and see what , if anything has to be done .

It’s not even 1030 and I want raise my voice at several people at work. WHYSOANNOYING?!?!?

I’ve applied headphones and am listening to podcasts.

Dog grant me strength.

I already loved Penzeys, but I was tickled to see Kamala visit them. They deserve the attention.

M's toe is healing well. He crushed the tip of it and they are giving him a real walking boot vs the shoe thing he had but the Dr says it should heal fine and that he will have arthritis.

M is still frustrated with all of this but I think things ended up the best they could.

You know who is probably having a crappy day today? The 2 men who got arrested at work. One was skip scanning ...he was scanning bananas as everything else he had. When confronted he was dismissive and rude and he has a history so they called the cops. He ran across the parking lot to the bushes between us and the gas station and "hid". Badly hid because he kept peeking out where he could be seen. His car was parked close to the store I guess.

Then another guy came on and was being loud and rude and vulgar and had already been warned and so the cops were called and they were around I guess and the manager on duty was having him trespassed. The rude guy tried to claim he had no ID and also that he was being harassed. He wasn't. The cops were able to find a warrant on him and arrest him.

While they were still in the parking lot Banana Boy (as he was dubbed) peeked around the bushes again and was spotted and the cops went after him and arrested him . And since he has done this before charges will be filed against him for those.

In the words of Frank Pembleton, crime makes you stupid.

OK, I just had a tiny victory - I think I figured out the best way to ask why someone is going to be out of the office! I have been wary of this ever since I had a coworker who was out for a big chunk of two summers in a row, and everyone was like, "ooooh, jealous of your vacation!" but she was out because her young son was having serious surgery. So another coworker just said she was "going to be out for the rest of the month," and I said, "doing anything good?" which let her say YES!!!

Good idea, Jesse!!

I don’t feel like working, but also don’t feel like doing much of anything. So yeahhhhh

My teaching schedule this semester is weird. The university has a new "efficient" schedule, which is supposed to let us schedule more classes without increasing the number of classrooms by cutting down on the amount of time rooms are empty, and it means that the scheduling gets weird. If a class is three days a week, then it used to almost always be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This semester, my classes are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I usually use my non-teaching days for prep work and catching up on emails and stuff like that, and this schedule means that, rather than being able to do all that stuff every other day, I now have three days worth of things piling up, which isn't totally feasible. So, I need to figure out how to re-allocate my time to make this work.
