more work drama and severe frustration

wow. it's been months since the managerial drama in february. well, it's back again. of the 3 managerial slots, only 1 has been filled. yes, that means that somebody else quit. it's no wonder that so many people are frustrated and exhausted. i am still trying to comprehend why it takes so long to backfill positions. it's been over 3 months. yes, i understand that we want to get the right person for the job; however, the delay in making a move is hurting the staff as well. i suppose this is especially true this time of year when you have lots of people wanting to take time off, but the lack of staff isn't stopping anybody from taking that time off. there are even people who haven't gotten through their initial training that are already requesting time off. it's a little disturbing when you see a shift coverage request and you have NO idea whatsoever who that person is! the whole thing is very frustrating.


in an unrelated note, i think our xbox 360 is dying.

goddess of allergy meds

yes, i am going to call myself the goddess of allergy meds now. i've been on singular (for allergies and asthma) for several years. i was also on zyrtec, but one of my docs recommended taking it only as needed. after feeling terrible, having OTC stuff not working very well, and seeing 2 DIFFERENT doctors, i'm on singular, zyrtec, and flonase daily. well, i do feel a lot better. allergies suck, but yay for allergy meds. bleh. that is all.
