We've Been Cookin ...

Morning ... We’re up pretty early. Feelin fine. Tried something new ... we cooked breakfast! Well, actually it was just microwaving some potatoes, but we're talking about women who get confused heating soup! We think we did ok, but they we're a little mushy.  Eh, sufficed!

We figure our day yesterday was broken into five parts. We got up and played around J-land, then we worked on a project we had taken home, then we met up with Macadam and had a wonderful time even though we were payin bills (went out to dinner too!), then we wrote to a good friend, then we went to bed. That’s it ... all we did all day. 

The project was sort of an extra project. You know how we’ve been progressing CARF, and with having figured out that State manual Saturday ... we were inches away from figurin out what the other Q is supposed to be doing with training the five folks that need to be trained.  

We had gotten frustrated because the other Q was not able to produce one valid lesson plan for our CARF records. The one she did give us on client rights was one produced seven years ago by another staff. Her work shouldn’t be a secret, but this co-worker goes out of her way to keep her work from being known even to Sr. Tess. The DSPs don't know any better, the rest of us are very busy and this co-worker gets riled (loud), indignant and intimidating if anyone asks questions.

There has not been a single piece of paper Sr. Tess hasn’t opened up for us. She’s taught us to ask questions and learn all nuances of the business. Sr. Tess is very trusting. The only thing I haven’t known about or pushed was evidence of this coworker's work.

From our work yesterday, we’ll be able to show Sr. Tess what has happened to the staff training program.  The thing is ... we'd gotten a directive from Sr. and am now through the opening.  This co-worker's gobbility gook can be put out on the table.  

Hmm ... a twist has been added ... we just talked to our friend ... he's saying we shouldn't upset Sister with this information and pretty much pretend it didn't happen.  I think we'll talk to Dr. M about it this morning ... Very confused again :(

Congrats on the breakfast!! Now, potato wouldn't be my breakfast choice, but it DOES sound good. LOL Especially with all the goodies on top. I haven't had one of those in a long time. Instant oatmeal is pretty easy too. Glad to hear you had a pretty uneventful day. Sometimes, those are a blessing. :D

Sounds like Sr. Tess is a very thorough and patient teacher.  Glad you had an easygoing day yesterday.
