News Alert from Tickville, cars are expensive! I was let in on a conversation between the spousal unit and the Tick regarding the cost of purchasing and maintaining a new (or new to me) auto. It seems that the lack of a working air conditioner in the vehicle they are indefinitely borrowing is not working properly. Since the modus operandi to date has been to either attempt to get me to repair the problem (or pay for the same) or to ignore the problem until I need to use the vehicle and then it becomes my problem. As for the problem this time, at issue is someone working outdoors in the heat and then not having a working AC to ride home with. I guess the sucking never ends for a tick. I am quite sure that if there is an absolutely wrong answer to this question, the Tick will not only choose it but make it their life's goal to fulfill.
I did find a new website in which one allegedly is able to email their boss anonymously. I am not so sure that in doing so, one could be found out and called to answer for their comments. More thought and a more thorough investigation is warranted before I use this service. It is intriguing though, just the thought of being able to vent ones feelings toward a boss with no chance of retribution. I will let you know what I find out.
Having been on call night before last, I still have not fully recovered from the lack of sleep. It normally takes several nights of consistently good rest to get back to feeling good. Again, I'm not sure how a healthcare facility can say they are promoting wellness in the community they serve and abuse the workforce to the point of ruining their health.
There is a theory that if one tells a lie often enough, eventually it will be believed to be true. This is what has happened with America. We have been told for so long the "we" are the best in the world. Problems like being forty-seventh in the world in healthcare never seem to get the airtime they deserve. The fact that multiple countries have a far better work/life balance with the benefit of being more productive and emotionally more stable than the US. We in the US spend more hours working just to pay taxes than we do enjoying our lives. The companies we work for wring the last drop of life from our broken bodies and then kick us to the curb all under the guise of being "one big family" and "caring". When you hear about this being the "Land of Opportunity" just remember that the opportunity could be to abuse you for all your worth. It's been said that never has anyone on their death bed stated that they wished they had spent more time at work. I will not die at my job. Paradise awaits, see you there.
