Reminding myself of what my challenge is:

 

Fill pill containers every Sunday.

Done. Didn't actually take my pills yesterday, because I didn't eat at work and I take them with food, but doing good with them overall.

 

Fill water bottle every morning.

I filled my water bottle this morning. Haven't had any water in a few days, so just filling it counts as a victory. Drinking from it too, so that's nice.

 

On any day off, walk around the block at least once.

Took a lap around the block on Saturday morning, but no walking Sunday.

 

Read someone else's post daily.

Struggling with this, mostly because I feel so far behind. Trying to do more skimming to catch up some. 

 

Post something weekly.

Doing ok at this.

Is this any way to talk to your manager?!?

 

 

I really do like Jim. Could never have done this with the previous manager.

 

But alas, I just don't see the company letting him do what he needs to right the ship. A night tech quit at the end of last week. Took a job paying $10/hour more. But sure, the wages are fine, even though we can't even get people to apply for the open day tech position. 

 

There's only 4 techs / shift. With a vacancy on both we're down to 75%, ignoring the widely held view that we were short handed before all this. Get just one person out sick or on vacation? The burnout is killing those we have left. Steve only made it an hour today before going home, he'll be out tomorrow too. Wednesday on, I've got a different guy on vacation. If Steve isn't better by then?

It's nice to have a manager you can be a little spicy with, but if your place is that short staffed it won't ease things for you.  Seriously, I hope you're holding on ok
