Today we went out to our normal Monday place,
the rehab/gym, for my usual workout beginning of my three alternating days.
Nothing new there, but us even deciding to
going out to eat was not that different, since Hubby had chosen the Olympia
Greek restaurant once again.
And I acquiesced.
The unusual thing was who our server was, an
ER Nurse who was working double duty twelve hours at the hospital and another
shift at the restaurant!
Oddly enough it wasn’t even any of our local
hospitals, which we have four, and three of those are in a ten mile radius;
actually two are less than two miles from our home!
The Olympia
restaurant was less than a mile from those two, so close to our home, but this
gal worked out of county, way down forty miles away, which meant an eighty mile
round trip!
It seems that we are one of the states
that does not have reciprocity with her old home state of Kentucky as far as
certifications go and so she has to go to Ft. Myer's to receive her CEU’s
and the hours and expense I suppose is playing havoc with her future income
,which according to what I read should eventually make it all worthwhile…
meanwhile slinging hash, but not in our case, it was turkey for Hubby and
Haddock for me; gets her more income than her day, make that night job, crazy!
As interesting and informative as that
short conversation was, and ensued primarily due to the fact that she had
misplaced our sale's check and I teased her saying "so I guess we don’t
have to pay", but she didn’t get it… Any-who, she found it under a plate
that she removed and that’s when she began explaining…,
Talk about coincidences, after we left
there Hubby went into Walgreen’s to pick up my Simply Saline and Crest Pro
Mouthwash, while I waited in the car with air-conditioning running, radio on
and a newspaper, to bide my time… He came back with weird news that the young
woman who waited on him had said Good Afternoon to him at the register, but
than said it again within a few moments time, and she went into an apology when
he called her out on it with a smile that she too had been working all night at
the hospital as an ER nurse and was a bit tired!
Does that sound normal?
My fear is going to an ER and getting one
of those way too overworked nurses!
Moving on…
Are Hubby and I appear to be the only ones
that saw the Jeopardy show where that child complained about losing because he
spelled his final Jeopardy word wrong for the answer of Emancipation
Proclamation?
The child that was winning all the way
through the game and bet $30,000, added to his already over $36,000 was the
winner fair and square!
The child complaining only accumulated
$9,600 and bet an additional $3,000 for the final question, but as in all
Jeopardy games, second place only receives $2,000 and third receives
$1, 000 just like all the other children
who played the rest of the one week they had the children playing! Not even
that $12,600 would have changed a thing!
PS it is the same for the adults, the
winner wins whatever he accumulated during the course of the game and of course
final Jeopardy and the second place gets $2,000 and the third gets $1,000!
In my opinion it was like playing
telephone with how misinterpreted this whole thing has gotten… Why even our
local news stated that the child lost due to the misspelling, which is NOT TRUE
at all!
What happened to checking your facts NBC
Fort Myers!
On that annoyed note of incompetence,
sorry, but true, in my humble opinion, allow me to be the very first to wish
all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your
blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square,
ya hear!
