Good morning! Just sitting here, waiting for the weather to change. Snow totals have come down, a bit. We'll see what actually falls. I am not looking forward to the temperature drop, though. I have now, officially, met my winter limit!

I'm having this polished up for you

The saga of me trying to take a bath this week...

Monday...ten minutes in...B opens the door "Missy, get out, my turn."
Tuesday....twenty minutes in...B opens the door... "Missy, get out, I need the toilet."
Tonight...I made sure he'd gotten his bath first and that he'd been in there to use the toilet...five minutes in...B opens the door...for no reason. I yell at him to get out. Ten minutes later...he opens the door again...for no reason. Another ten minutes later my dad tells me to get out because B needed the bathroom...which he actually did not. Then B says to me, after I again yell at him for opening the door, "I'm not bad, just annoying."

Is there no lock on the door?? And don't you have more than one toilet? Couldn't he use a different one if you are in the bath?

Edit: Right...you're still at Disney, aren't you?

I can't see it. A giant heat lamp, maybe?

Nope, not just you. You would love it here right now. You and @MinnieM123 . Snow is coming down. I am so over it.

And here I thought my phone was messed up. It must be invisible.

But . . . but . . . don't you like walking in the snow? Today, I was walking along the snow-covered paths in the local nature area. It was gorgeous outside, and I love the sound of boots walking on top of snow.

There is snow covered paths right now due to it snowing, but there is ice underneath although it was salted before the snow started.

When I'm up to it, I've got a new ankle story and this time it also involves toes I'm convinced we're cursed

Yup, still in Disney. There is a lock, but it's one of those stupid pin ones.

I found out later he kept opening the door to tell me to lock it.

Today I walked down Sunset Boulevard with Tower of Terror in the distance, the sun across my face in 68 degree weather...

Nope, don't need the snow.

You used to tell me I needed a bubble, but I haven't sprained my ankle in over a year now. I can send you mine...

First of all, @Cesar R M , we're all praying for you to get another job with at least a fairly sane boss.

@donaldtoo , I copied a section of your post above, as it reminded me of something I heard years ago, when I was attending a job search seminar, sponsored by the state. The speaker warned against people accepting a counter offer, when they decided to quit their (present) job. The reason is that leading up to their quitting, there were some serious reasons why they wanted OUT of there.

Hence, if a person accepted a counter-offer, (even if a few things, such as a bit more salary, were thrown their way), nothing else would change, no matter what was said to them by the boss. He was saying that any good boss or company, etc., would have been treating the employee well, all along, not just when faced with an employee quitting.

I think many (or perhaps most) of us have more or less "dealt" with issues at every job we've had. Most of the time, we can create workarounds to save our sanity. However, when things get toxic, it's time to go.

Yep, he and I discussed that very point. The junior partnership and the extra money wouldn’t have addressed the root issues, and would have just exacerbated them, based on past events.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about this, but, if you remember, we used to have 5 partners. 3 principal partners, and 2 junior.
They offered the one guy a JP shortly after he got his license, and he accepted. Over time (several years), he just couldn’t take the heat anymore and went off to do his own thing.
He has his own firm (just himself), and is in a much better place now...!!!

...“food" in pouches...

MRE’s...gourmet food...!!!!!!!

Actually, our long-gone neighbors from years ago were both regular Army during Vietnam (he a grunt, her a nurse), and he remained in the National Guard for many years thereafter.
He gave me several of them back in the 90’s, and I took ‘em to work for lunch. He said they were definitely a step up from rations of the past, and I didn’t think they were bad, but, what does anyone expect from pouch “food”...?!!!!!
