So in continuation of "what's irritating you today" post 5969, my boss has told me today the irritating coworker is in the process of been fired.
He would rather not hire anyone else, so me and another guy - who is awesome btw - are basically going to have to take most of her shifts until another quite fun guy comes back from vacation, which my bank account will love for the coming month, and it also means once he does get back from vexation I can go back to the 5-6 shifts I've been getting since he left rather then getting a cut down to 4-5. I also won't need to get any annoying bitchy remarks at shift change, and I will get more of the fun shift changes I get with the other co workers - where sometimes one of us will even come early or stay late half an hour and have some coffee and chat, which is a pleasure - without her everyone else is pretty high quality people. |

The wife of a well-known radio talk show host is on the board of the National Autism Association, is a very vocal and passionate supporter of biomedical treatment, and reportedly has a very big influence on who her husband brings on the show. It was a long shot that I would get her attention, but she was on our list of "movers and shakers" who marketing should reach out to because you never know.
Today we learned that someone in my publisher's office actually knows her personally, and plans to strongly encourage her to read it. Shit just got real. |

Network, call in favors, twist arms, then when you get on Fallon, Kimmel, and Colbert, you can blow them away with your stand-up routine.

My attitude towards the VA is changing.
My Father-In-Law is a (Korean War) Navy Vet, and frankly did not do much after his discharge. But after years of not-so-healthy living, and a year living on the streets, he managed to get classified as disabled, which helped get him into decent housing. He was seen on a fairly regular basis at the PDX VA, and his health and dental problems were being managed. But then, a couple of weeks they told him he needed triple-bypass heart surgery ! They called him to come in on that Friday, and he had the operation the following Thursday. Currently, many of us may have bad feelings about the quality and timelines of the health care handed out to Vets. But at least for this man in his circumstances, the VA staff deserve a public commendation. On each of the times I visited him, the staff throughout were very courteous and extremely helpful to me as a visitor, and the medical staff were exceptionally open, welcoming, and informative. I spent a lot of time in waiting rooms, their canteen, stores, elevators and parking lots, and I am very impressed by how good were the moods of people working and receiving care in this huge medical complex. The entire ICU and Recovery Rooms were in good conditions and the staff and patients were in appropriate good humor. My FIL is now doing well, and his outlook for a long life is so much better than before. Maybe this VA is exceptional, but I hope not. ... every hospital, whether VA or not, should have such a helpful and healthy environment. . |

Sounds like they need to farm some of that shit out to the private sector...
