My dog used to listen to me vent when no one else was around, wagged her tail and put her head on my lap as I typed, but she had to be put down in Feb:(
Sorry, just needed to vent to someone who understands, unlike my DH, kids and all my friends who think I have a great job working at home! I guess it ...
Okay, so I know what has been happening the past few months, but since it didn't affect me directly, I just kinda put it out of my mind. But since the first of the month, my BOB is out of work during my shift (late afternoon/early evening). This has never happened before. Wondering if it is because daytime people are switching to later hours or my work is going overseas? Not NJA yet, just unfamiliar work for the majority of my shift. If this is how it's go ...

If you are interested in joining me, by all ...
I keep getting dinged for comma usage, and I'm not one to overuse them, though I fully support the use of an Oxford comma. I am old school, and I've been taught the following about commas
1) They go before a conjunction when what could be complete sentence follows.
2) They do not go before or after (unless there is a strange circumstance, i.e, "indeed" or some such wording thrown in) a conjunction w/o a complete sentence following it.

Lately, I've been checking my hourly production, every hour on the hour. For my first hour of work this morning, I stayed completely focused, no distractions except getting a quick cup of coffee (in the same room as my work desk) but quickly sat right back down again and went right back to work. What was my hourly rate of production for that hour?
$7.42.
Yes, I said I earned a whopping $7.42 in a solid hour of intense concentration and focus.
I also noticed ...

Same patient as below who needed the sternal rubbing. He has massive GI bleeding and in the ER the doc says: "Protonix and s/l senospirin drip will be initiated."
