The Official Rant of the Day

Not open for further replies.
Pretty sure my resume's going up online at job posting sites today. I'm done with the headaches and stomachaches that come with BS issues I have no control over that take money out of my wallet. It's Saturday, I'm supposed to be enjoying time with my kids instead of answering constant phone calls that I can't do anything about, and reading emails from people throwing me & my company under the bus. I didn't bust my a$$ staying up until 1am doing homework for nearly 5 years straight to earn my MBA just to keep sitting in the same seat dealing with the same issues.
 
Inconsiderate people. People who have an excuse for everything. People who lie. That is all.
 
Lower back is a bit tight again after a hard week at work. Hopefully it alleviates soon.
 
Chris, hope you feel better soon. If you want to get out and play PM or text me, later in the week is better for me.

sick again. hacking up green stuff, thinking maybe this has turned into bronchitis. but i'm also not sleeping much with work and my beloved children who can't f-ing sleep through the night right now. my wife and kids leave tomorrow for a week, and it's MY TIME to play some golf and have some peace around the house. being sick IS NOT in that plan.

sitting centra care waiting to be seen with an appointment for which I was on time 25 minutes ago. there isn't another car in the parking lot. I'm in a room, listening to all the nurses and the one doctor talk through a lunch order menu. drives me crazy the disregard for patient's time.

Man hate to hear that. I've been lucky and have had good experiences with Patient first here.

Hope you get better

That's sucks Russ. I know how much you care about the work you do. Yoj need to find a company that has the same concern for customers you do.

I can't find fault with my company, not by a long shot. It's just the nature of this industry and a sales/management position. Another vendor drops the ball and refuses to deal with the client, and we do our best to help and now all of a sudden everything is our fault since we're the ones who answer the phone. Months spent working this deal and now I can kiss the commission good bye. Issues I can control or have say over, that's one thing. Busting my butt and dealing with headaches for 3 days straight over someone else's screwup that the client is now all over us for? Nope. Done. So over it.

Sorry I missed the fact it was the vendor who screwed up. I was thinking it was another department.

Ill blame the lack of compression on the gallons on mess I'm taking to try and get over this thing I have. Had a bit of relapse last night. (that's my rant inside your rant )

My wife and kids all had their school cancelled today. I'm heading out in about 45 mins or so to shovel, not enough to break out the snow blower but my wife's back won't be able to handle this heavy wet junk.

Yay spring?
 
end of life can be so challenging. my mother's parents are going through a very challenging phase. my grandmother has been in rehab from a broken hip and now has no unassisted mobility. she's finally back home but with close to 24-hour care. i won't get into specifics, but i'll just say that my grandfather is exhibiting signs of dementia and my grandmother no longer feels safe around him. it's a stage of life and an existence i wish on no one. no freedom, no quality of life. dependent on everyone and depressed about it. it's all very sad.

It really is. I dont have my grandparents around anymore, but did have one recently (she was 103). It meant the world to me that she got to meet my wife, and she was quite good through the end. I have others that have gone down differently and its never easy.
 
$15 an hour, huh? Can't even remember to put the egg in my breakfast sandwich.

It is a tough point in life. I lost my moms parents over 20 years ago and my dad's mother in 2009. Never knew my dad's father as he passed when my dad was a teenager.

my dad's mother went thru the dementia and assisted mobility for 3 years or so and it was tough on the family. If you ever want to talk I'm here for you

I appreciate it. I'm a pretty emotionally numb person as it is, so it's all very logical for me. put them in homes because they can't take care of themselves. sedate my grandfather so he can't hurt anybody, possibly restrain him. they need to die. they have no quality of life and they are miserable. it's horrible to say, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Found out over the weekend, that my mother is being moved to Phase 1 of care for Dementia in her Assisted Living home. Up to now, she had been on her own to come to meals and they only checked on her a few times a day to give her medication. At this Phase, she will be able to stay in her regular room, but there will be more constant monitoring and they will come escort her to meals, to make sure she doesn't forget to go.

My last few phone conversations with her led me to realize this is coming, as she didn't recognize my voice and in the most recent call, I'm pretty sure she didn't' even know who I was. They say she might be able to make it a year in this phase, before being moved Upstairs to the full time Alzheimer's unit, but that's just a guess and things could change.

C.A. Sorry to hear about your grandparent's. Hoping for the best for them.
 
CAA and c.a., sorry to hear about your loved ones. It kills me to see my folks aging before my eyes and knowing they don't have a lot of years left. Ya never know. I don't think I will handle it very well. They have been a rock for me and my siblings and we did not make it easy on them.

the putting in the home was a battle my dad's family went thru. Most if his siblings agreed to put her in a home and after a couple weeks my aunt couldnt take it and took her out and kept her at her house.

Sorry to hear this. Same for you CAA. I'm going through the samething with my Grandmother. Her Dementia is getting bad. Both Saturday and Sunday she decided she was leaving the assisted living home. Grabbed her pillow and gave then went about her business. Luckily the staff was able to get her before she got too far.

Last week, she had lunch with my Grandfather twice. Only problem is he's been dead almost 20 years. It's crazy how quickly how fast her health has deminished. The hospice nurse told us around Christmas last year that it would be her last.

I've lost both my parents in the last few years, it's not an easy thing for anyone to have to deal with. The toughest is the 'end of life talk' where decisions are made and comfort becomes the goal.
