Mid-week Post

I think it might become a tradition to have a regular Wednesday post. I felt that as soon as Sunday rolled away, next thing I notice it's Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday tends to be a blur.
This week is the same, Monday arrived with slight chance of freezing rain, temperature was below freezing level, but it did start raining around 7 am, and slightly warmed up. Our family has outrageous sense of responsibility, Alex and Vlad both left for work at the crack of dawn.
I end up waiting for the definite confirmation that yes, indeed it's warmer and everything is melting away. I left house around 8:15 and it was little scary before I get to freeway.
Work wasn't bad, as we had many cancellations and much of work was done last week.
Tuesday went smoothly with little hiccups (if there were some I don't remember) - Dad arrived from CA safe and sound, that made our house happy :)
Here we are... with so much uncertainty again. Last night I got text from Shelly telling me that she's not coming to work today, asking to cover for her in surgery room. When questioned if she's ok, in response I got, something like I have personal issues with husband, i'm safe and ok... weird!
Dr. A doesn't think she's okay... I wonder if her husband did found out about her been unfaithful.
It was very weird day - Dr. A did share some ideas about practice and future and stuff... Dani had a bad day to start with, but it's slightly improved toward the end.
Tomorrow I'm in surgery all day, hopefully things will go okay for everyone involved. I tired of talking about work in negative way.

Winter 2014

Friday

Morning arrived with such a quietness outside. Wind stopped sometimes at night, snow also stopped around 3 in the morning. No sound of traffic, nothingness and cold.

I send a text message to my office manager letting her know that I'm not coming to work. It's too dangerous to drive. Her response was - we're closing clinic down due to the weather.

Opening ceremony was scheduled at 8am our time - and our miracle worker Alex - after a while finally find some live stream from Sochi.

I was very impressed with the opening ceremony, regardless what other people say. Knowing the history and culture I believe it was beautifully done.

And the simple fact that they didn't talk about "dark" time in the history didn't bother me at all. Olympic games is time for celebration, not for bringing ugliness up to the table.

After the ceremony, I went out and played with kids. here's some pictures.

Hump Day

One of the Geico commercials has a camel walking in the cubicle maze of office with a 'guess what day it is?'

Today is a hump day, boy how I'm happy to get over the ~~hump~~ hill.

One of my coworkers due to death in the family out the office. Angie is receptionist and guess who end up covering for her? Of course me, myself and I.

Monday was a blur, very busy, very maddening and very tiring. I start at 5:45am and left at 5pm.

Tuesday also was early start with lot work upfront. Shelly worked on Tuesday with about 70% participation - she spends so much time on her phone. Every time I turn around she's texting someone. Knowing what I know about her been unfaithful to her husband I can only guess who she was talking to. Toward the end I got so feed up with that, I'm not helping her at all today. After I arrived to work this morning, I start with doing my work, offered to cover lunch only when it's convenient for me. I had so much done. I'm really proud of myself.

Last night I met with Yulia, went over tons of things in quickbook, I had my work cut for me next weekend.
Tonight is Elsa time, I haven't seen her for two weeks, and quite frankly miss her face.
