That is very impressive Tourist, knowing the words to the Bangles song.

That was my theme song every Monday when I was on a Mon - Fri work schedule. Currently on a Wed - Sun work schedule and have been for several years. Unfortunately, that means that I haven't been attending Saturday morning church service. I really need to put some pressure on my employer to switch my schedule. Better yet, semi-retire and only work 2 or 3 days a week with week-ends off. Or maybe just find the means to quit working entirely.

I have been working for the man since I was 17 and now I am 64, tired, and weary of the rat race and even more so, living in Florida where the roads are always congested and with non-stop police, ambulance and rescue sirens.

Driving home this morning from Walmart which is less than a mile away the roads were a mess with an accident less than a quarter mile away. Somebody probably got their ticket punched across the street at the local Speedway. Hope not but there was some damage done for sure. I should have said a prayer for those that may have been hurt or died but instead just thanked God that it wasn't me.

You can become insensitive to tragedy living in any major city in Florida. Spent 20 years living in Orlando and the last 5 living in Clearwater which is wedged in between Tampa / St. Pete. Fortunately I live in a relatively safe area but there is a crime problem. and a lot of road rage incidents. Things are so bad here that even a murder doesn't make the news unless there is at least 3 or 4 involved. I stopped watching the local news a long time ago except occasionally for the weather during hurricane season.

If you can semi retire that would be great. That is a long time to be working for the same employer.
Yes road rage is bad here too. Women just as much as men, sometimes you can't tell the difference :eek:
We have all the same problems here that you have there, except the gun problems aren't as bad yet. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Does anyone know when the next full moon is??

Lord this day has been super crazy with angry calls from patients and one even told my manager that I was rude!! 🤯 I’m never rude to patients over the phone! That’s my job! But this person called already angry and just blamed her anger on me. I’m sorry but I’ve never known Audrey Hepburn to be rude to her fans and her family. At least I try to be “like” her in some ways. 🤷🏻‍♀️
