Thank God. They re-signed the contract. I'm staying with the homeless clinic!

The local municiple development organization that owns the clinic where I work was considering not re-signing the medical contract with the community health organization that employs me. They wanted to hire their own provider and run the cllinic themselves.

That would have put me in the awkward position of resigning from my company in order to keep working with my homeless patients, or else staying with the company, and losing my patients.

I think a lot of people in the Lounge know how I feel about my homeless patients. I didn't want to lose them.

Now I won't have to. The municiple group re-signed the medical-care contract.

I'm staying...

Will Shakespeare says to fans of WSTFTD:

~If my absence has offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That Good My Robin could not stay
For to do the work he did to-day
So for my thought no Thought could post
And thus then was my thought all lost.
Gentles, do not reprehend,
If you pardon, we will mend.
Good Rob't will Our thoughts elect
to post next Satur-day direct.
And as I am an honest Will,
my will no will shall forfeit still
Else The Bard a liar call
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends
And Sweet Will shall restore amends.~

Scored a day off today. So happy to be awake and not at work!



How's everyone doing today?

Attention Shakespeare fans: I'm having dinner and drinks with The Bard tonight.

Hope you can stop by to say 'hi' to me, and 'good even, and well-met' to Will.

See you then!

Saturday, July 13th. The Weekend Edition of William Shakespeare's Thought For The Day.

To do a great right, do a little wrong,
And curb this cruel devil of his will."

My 3rd Grade teacher, whom I had a monstrous crush on, just friended me on Facebook.

She was very young when she was my teacher, just two years out of college. I had a huge boyhood crush on her, and was jealous of her husband.

She's still very attractive...

I sent her message of hello, but I called her "Mrs", just like in third grade. Calling her by her first name just seemed wrong...
