A couple of updates

I thought I’d give you a few updates. Nick first – he seems just fine. He’s had no repeat of the A-fib since the night we went to the ER. He saw the cardiologist last week and he lowered the dose of his medication and told him to come back in four weeks. All Nick’s said it that the medication make him a little tired, but it also messes up his sleep some. He tells me that part is getting better so all seems well.

The next update is about my new boss. First I’ll say I really like

her. She isn’t so popular with my partners. It’s not that they dislike her, but they are both a little OCD. The best way to explain the difference in the old and the new is that old boss was like Mussolini, a real asshole, but he did make the trains run on time. New boss has traits more like an old hippy – calm, laid back and things will get done when they get done. Peace. My partners really like the trains running on time. I could care less. I find it much easier to deal with an old hippy than a fascist.

Now I have a decision to make. You all know I like to write. I feel I can explain myself, my positions, etc. very well when I write. I had toyed with the idea of writing old boss a letter– not an ugly hateful letter, but one congratulating him on his new position and telling him things that I thought he could have handled so much better when he was at our school. I knew he could care less, but I would feel so much better to just politely tell him.  I’d pretty much reluctantly decided to let the idea go… until. The vice principal decided we should have a reception for old boss – what?  I mean he didn’t retire; he left the county for a better job, but whatever. Then he mentioned he was getting him a new tackle box and we should fill it up with card we write him.

You want me to write old boss? Really? I might, I’m still thinking about it.

Hope everyone is enjoying his or her Labor Day weekend whatever country you're in – it does feel wonderful knowing I still have tomorrow off!
