Yeah, you'll have to shrink the physical dimensions of the photo first. Shrinking it to 35% in Paint works like a charm. My camera photos start out at 5 meg, shrinking like how I laid out changes them to 360 kilobytes.
AWM went over this morning to get him to prescribe the oxygen to find out that he had referred her to a specialist last week who was supposed to figure out what size tank she needed (
), but insurance wouldn't cover the specialist. Did Grandma say anything about it? Nope. Still, she has the prescription now, but insurance will only cover eighty-percent of the cost.No, she doesn't have a living will. And even if she did, it's not registered (in our state a living will is not valid unless it's been registered with the statewide medical system).
Congrats!My new shoes came in!
The toes are a little more snug than I'm used to, but nothing compared to pointy toes, and I still have plenty of toe wiggle room.
(Wow, the upper picture shows what the cats have done with the leather couch, all those pinpricks and that scratch.)
I think I'll change into a dress for the day.

I hope you have fun.Those are really shoes! They look comfy too.
I'm off tomorrow to attend a conference in Wisconsin Dells tomorrow and Saturday. DH is going with me so we're making it a micro-vacation. The only workshops I'm interested in are in the morning and I've got plenty of continuing education hours already so we'll have plenty of time to spend together. Just 4 more hours of work today, woo hoo!
Did you call the company to let them know?
In South Carolina--yeah, this is the state that penalized the parents of a child who had been hit by a car (and most of her brain was scrambled) who simply didn't have the funds to keep their child alive in the hospital. (I know it sounds callous of me, but a metal rod had literally slammed into the child's skull and scrambled her brains. The only part untouched was the cerebellum--there was no way the child was going to wake up.)
It might not be that bad. I would think it has to do with how much interaction you have with the prisoners--and even then it depends on the prisoners themselves. Several members of one of our local gangs are regulars at my store (and with the police station), and honestly they're usually the most polite, honest, and understanding of how sucky my job can be. So, as long as you're polite, respectful, and cheerful (never look afraid--that's important), it probably won't be that bad.
I remember the first trip to the vet for all six of the cats that have been in our care. Rose was thrilled to go for a ride in the car--and much less thrilled when she got back from the vet. (It was exactly six weeks after the kittens were born--and for some reason getting fixed made her lactate like she did when they were first born--for another two weeks.) Princess, when she went, was so bouncy and into everything and purring at everyone that the staff wanted to adopt her (and she was the only kitten I didn't want to leave). Slipper dug her claws into the carrier (she was in the soft one), and didn't want to get out. Ra didn't leave the carrier, but he didn't fight being pulled out of it (I seriously think he's part ragdoll). Spot whined as he was pulled out of the carrier, and then began complaining to everyone about the indignity. Asia preened the whole time, as though she knew everyone was admiring her regal looks.

I could tell from her tone of voice since I couldn't actually see her (I TCd in).
I have the unique distinction of having worked under both a manager who was good with managing everything except people and a manager who was learning how to be a manager, but was good with people. (When I say good with people, I mean able to get people to do the jobs they're supposed to do instead of gathering in corners to gossip.) I've also worked with managers who were "buddy-buddy" with the people under them. Of the three, manager type number two is the best. I wish you the best of luck there.Good luck with the interview
Speaking of interviews, we had interviews for our supervisor position over the past 2 weeks. The manager got a bunch of resumes and selected 5 qualified candidates to bring in to interview, 3 external and 2 internal. I was not particuarily impressed with the 2 external candidates (I wasn't able to interview the third) even though based on their resume they have the knowledge and background we are looking for. My co-worker and I weren't included with one of the internal candidates becaue it was the guy in the lab we work with daily so we know him pretty well. The other internal candidate was the team lead for the team I was in a year ago so I'm very familiar with her. We still had to interview her.
My co-worker (a 20-something year old) was over the moon and starry-eyed with two of the external candidates because they know her former boss. In our particular field, her former boss is extrememly well known and is one of the people who has gotten the field from a hobby to a major scientific force in the industry. Anytime the fomer boss was mentioned, my co-worker would get all excited. You would have thought it was George Clooney or someone famous
The final decision will be made today. It's between two of the external candidates who know my co-workers former boss and one internal, the one who I previously worked with. My co-worker said that she can see herself being buddies with the internal candidate but she's won't be a good supervisor because she doesn't have the knowledge we need. And she doesn't know that former boss. Really???? What does that have to do with the position??? Co-worker is pushing for external candidate #1 because it someone she can be buddies with and gab about the former boss and that facility all day long. I'm pushing for the internal candidate because she has the strongest leadership skills of any of the candidates. She doesn't have the experience we need but that is something she can learn, and the company is all about developing people and career growth. Our manager's top three are external candidate #1, internal candidate, and external candidate #2 in that order. At the meeting yesterday he mentioned the two externals knowing the former boss and my co-worker got all
Clearly my co-worker and I have different expectations of what we want in a supervisor. I don't need a buddy. I just want someone who will be a strong leader and encourages growth and development and mentors the staff individually to meet personal work goals and treats the staff with respect.
I guess I can work with external candidate #1 if that's who ends up being the supervisor. Her personality at the interview came off as a bit too much for me to handle (Think Ellen Degeneres but 20 times more hyper and chattier) but maybe it was some nervousness or something that caused that and I picked up on. I did mention that to the manager when he asked for feedback. External candidate #1 is also buddies with a current supervisor in the department (they went to college together and hang out often) so might have an "in" that way.
Congrats on Ruby's first visit!
(And I'm sure Carrot's will be fine.
)I hate people who get buddy-buddy with others and basically form a clique
The supervisor for my previous position was the first type you described, good at managing everything but people. The supervisor for my current position who was removed as a result of the fallout from the failed inspection (not her fault at all) was great at managing everything and people. Ok, so she's only ever had two staff members in her 15 years at the company. But she knew how to walk that fine line between being a supervisor and being too buddy-buddy with the staff.
Don't get me wrong, external candidate #1 was polite and friendly during the interview and certainly qualified except for her lack of leadership skills but her overwhelming (to me) personality may just clash with mine and that will be a problem.

((Hugs)) it sounds like a horrendous nightmare you are living... so horrible.. I do not know what to say..
Does the treadmill have an option to enter your weight? If it does, that may help the calorie count be more accurate.
It's my third year doing it and it's a lot fun. Well, I think it's a lot of fun. One person who was on my team last year decided not to do it again this year beacuse it was too much work Not sure how wearing a free pedometer every day and entering the steps into the web site or just syncing the pedometer to the web site is too much work
