First off, Happy Valentine’s Day, a day late. Sorry but we were way too consumed around here for me to remember that!
As you know, Lori had lots of drama at her office. Well had we only known how much, we wouldn’t have believed it! By the time Lori made it to the office, the crazy lady had already been there and trashed the entire office. She then locked up the file cabinet and threw the keys in the trash can in the bathroom down the hall of the office building. The building superintendent found them later in the day after Lori had a locksmith come in to change the office door locks and pick the file cabinet. The rest of her day was spent figuring out how to process payroll for the staff, calling all the vendors to tell them the crazy lady was gone, changing passwords and calming down Dr Rodgers who thought the nut job was going to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from her bank accounts. On top of that, the entire staff kept coming to Lori throughout the day with questions or problems she had to handle. In any case, she managed to get everything running smoothly and everyone calmed down. The crazy lady brought in candy to put on everyones desk, Â except for Lori! We think when Dr Rodgers told her the night before that Lori would meet her down there in the morning to get her keys and stuff, she assumed Lori was taking her job. There was no contact throughout most of the day despite repeated calls and texts by Lori asking if she was ok and showing concern. Then all of a sudden, the flood gates opened!
This nut job sent Lori tons of crazy texts and emailed Dr Rodgers a bunch of incoherent babbles that begged for her job on one hand and then called everyone crazy and nuts on the other. How’s that for the kettle calling the kettle black, or whatever the saying is.
Anyhow I told Lori thank God this lady is gone as now you can easily tell how nuts she really is. We feel sorry for her in a way but she brought all this on herself. Lori told her time and time again since she started, to take it easy and not to berate the team the way she did, but she just didn’t listen and finally too much irreparable damage had been done. Oh well, today we’re headed down to the office to process the payroll as you need to wait until everyone is clocked out before you can run it. Dr Rodgers texted Lori a huge thank you thank you for everything as she pretty much saved not only the day but the entire practice. They were days or maybe hours from a mass mutiny where a bunch of people were going to quit but in the end, now all is good.
Meanwhile the boys and I cleaned the house up, went to get them haircuts, hit the grocery store and ran a few other errands. We cooked dinner and had it almost done when Lori made it home around 6:45. We cooked some lobster tails in a pyrex glass dish in the oven and when Lori took it out, it just shattered everywhere! We’d never seen such a thing and had pieces of glass everywhere, in the oven, on the floor and on our lobster! Super. Cleaning this up then let our steaks over cook and so it wasn’t the greatest Valentine’s dinner, oh well, we just laughed, rinsed off the lobster, and ate it anyway.
So, this morning as I said, we’re all off to the office and then this afternoon there’s a party with all my friends from high school that starts about 4pm. Harry and Jon came from California and Seattle and there will be lots of people I haven’t seen since high school, should be fun but we won’t stay too long.
Ben spent the night as his dad went to a concert and had called to ask us a few days ago. We kind of look out for each other when we can so we said no problem. It was really windy last night and still is. I had some candy for my Mom but didn’t make it up there with all the drama going on, hopefully I can drop it off today!
That’s about it, remember we’re planning on winning the lottery tonight! Oh by the way, when the boys were getting their haircuts I had bought Lori some candy and bought some extra for the women at the salon and handed it out, as well as got a few of them a glass of wine (the salon pours my wine to women getting their hair done) when one woman said that I should run a Company or school teaching men how to treat women! How about that! I said thank you but it probably wouldn’t pay that well!
So, have a great day, take care and God Bless.
Sorry we’re a little late this morning, I thought Lori was going to do the blog today. Yesterday went pretty fast and soon it was 4pm and we headed out for our reunion of sorts of all of us that grew up together when we were between 14 and 20 years old or so. It was great to see people I haven’t seen in decades and reconnect. We only stayed a bit more than an hour as we had dinner plans with the Harris’s. Jag and I just returned from heading back up to the house where the party was as Lori forgot her purse there last night.
