VENTING DAY
I WOKE UP FEELING VERY PARANOID TODAY.. MAINLY BECAUSE THIS ADI ACCREDITATION.
THE DOGS ARE FINE--- THE PROGRAM IS FINE- THEY DON'T LIKE HOW I WRITE.
IT IS NOT BUSINESS LIKE. THAT IS TRUE..
BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN IT IS WRONG.
COUPLE EXAMPLES -- I HAD WRITTEN
"IF A DOG FIGHT BREAKS OUT, GO HAVE COFFEE"
I MEAN EXACTLY THAT --- GO AWAY-- STAY AWAY FOR THE TIME IT TAKES TO DRINK A CUP OF COFFEE-- BEFORE TRYING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE. .....NO ASSESSOR WILL TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY
IF YOU HAVE A GATHERING OF VETERANS WITH PTSD, DO NOT MAKE ANY UNEXPECTED LOUD NOISES.
THAT IS A VERY SORRY FACT--- BUT APPARENTLY WAS NOTED AS...... NOT BUSINESS LIKE.
DETAILS OF THE PREPARATION OF THE BEEF ( SUCH A HUGE PART OF OUR OVERALL LIFE HERE) WAS .....UNNECESSARY DETAIL.
PROVIDING SPACE FOR A FEW PTSD VETERANS TO RELAX AND PLAY WITH PUPS....... DID THE BOARD VOTE ON THIS?
I AM THE CEO ......HAVE YOU REPORTED TO THE BOARD 4 TIMES LAST YEAR.?? ( try the doggie daily)
"I DO NOT TAKE KINDLY TO UNATTENDED CHILDREN
" WOULD YOU ASK THEM TO LEAVE?? I THOUGHT WAS VERY POLITE AS OPPOSED TO WHAT I HAD IN MIND...
" WOULD YOU ASK THEM TO LEAVE?? I THOUGHT WAS VERY POLITE AS OPPOSED TO WHAT I HAD IN MIND...
************
SO HERE IS THE THOUGHT PRODUCING WHACKO CONCEPT I HAVE WITH THIS
APPARENTLY EVEN WITH ONLY ONE EMPLOYEE I AM TO HAVE A CERTIFIED MEDICAL PERSON "HERE".. I AM CAREFUL TO HAVE OUR CERTIFIED MEDICAL PEOPLE AWARE THEY ARE TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THINGS LIKE DOG FEST... BUT THE 911 SERVICE IS 2 EMTS PARKED 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD... SO I SAID WE RELIED ON 911-
AND.... THAT MY CAR HAD A LIFE ALERT 911 BUTTON UP BEHIND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR- WORKS ALL OVER THE STATES...PLUS THERE WAS A PERM PHONE IN THE HOUSE.
AND I GET "IS YOUR CAR ALWAYS ON THE PROPERTY PARKED IN THE SAME PLACE?"
THE WOMAN WHO WROTE THIS IS A BRIGHT LADY--- BUT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE REALLY LOOKING TO PICK..... I ASK MYSELF WHAT CAUSED THAT COMMENT? EVERYBODY ( EXCEPT ME) CARRIES A CELL PHONE TOO.
SO TAKE THAT MENTALITY AND APPLY IT TO A MORE SERIOUS TOPIC...
IT IS MANDATORY THAT WE MAINTAIN COMPLETE MEDICAL RECORDS AND THEY BE UNDER LOCK AND KEY.
I DO NOT WANT THEM-- I AM NOT A DOCTOR AND DON'T UNDERSTAND EVEN THE WORDS INVOLVED.. -I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE "COMPLETE MEDICAL ANYTHING " ON APPLICANTS
"GETS DIZZY AND FALLS DOWN" IS OUR LEVEL OF NEED. NO LATIN WORDS THERE....
LOOKING AT THE ADI INSTRUCTION
-- IT IS MANDATORY THAT "WE KEEP COMPLETE...."
WHAT IS THAT ---- COMPLETE??? UP DATED DAILY??? AND IF IT IS NOT ARE WE LIABLE FOR NOT UPDATING
WE ASK FOR THEIR DIAGNOSIS ON THE APPLICATION- AND WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT---
THE REAL WORLD-- THESE EMT PEOPLE ARE PLUGGED IN TO GOD CENTRAL AND HAVE COMPLETE MEDICAL RECORDS AT THEIR FINGERTIPS--
THERE MAY BE TIMES I WISH I HAD KNOWN XXXX BUT THAT IS JUST NOT PRACTICAL...
******************
AND THEN THERE IS MANAGEMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS--
WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY FROM ANY 10 PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GO TO DINNER-- WRITE IT DOWN AND CALL IT OFFICIAL ------- TO AN ACTUAL CHOSEN SMALL GROUP WHO"S COMBINED TALENTS SHOULD HELP THE BUSINESS END OF THINGS. LIKE CAMERA MARK-- AND COLLEEN ETC...
NOW ADI GIVES ME A LIST OF DEMANDS I MUST MAKE OF THE BOARD... WELL ADI... LET ME TELL YOU IF I ENFORCED SOME OF THOSE THINGS I WOULD BE BACK LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO FILL 8 SEATS AT DINNER.
IF THE OTHER ADI PROGRAMS CAN BOSS PEOPLE AROUND LIKE THAT-- I GUESS GO FOR IT... IT WON'T SWING HERE.
ABOUT THE FIRST THING OUR BOARD TOLD ME WAS THEY NEEDED INSURANCE-- WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF,,,, BUT ,MUST DO TOMORROW.
************
LESSON #4673. OUR VOLUNTEERS WORK VERY HARD AND DO NOT NEED MICROMANAGING.
THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT A BEAUTIFUL STANDING RIB ROAST FOR LAST NIGHT'S DINNER. WE HAD A BIG DAY AND WERE SICK OF TURKEY.
*************
SO I HAVE TOLD THEM I WILL ASK JANINE TO SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE... ON PAPER--
I AM CONFIDENT SHE CAN PULL THAT TOGETHER-
************
WHILE I JUST PLAIN FORGET IT.
*****
I REEEEEEALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF THEY GIVE ME EXAMLES OF WHAT THEY EXPECT ON PAPER , WE DON'T JUST COPY THIER STUFF- PUT IT IN A BOOK AND KISS IT GOODBYE.
... AND LEAVE MEGAN AND I -- OR SHEILA AND I TO DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK IN A CAR AND SOLVE PROBLEMS WITHOUT A SECRETARY IN THE BACK SEAT TAKING NOTES TO PRESENT BEFORE TH E BOARD.

Hello Theresa & Carleen & SDP,
Manny & I haven't received our new service re-certification yet from Theresa and just wanted to let you know that we have also just purchased some of those precious calendars and if the identification hasn't been sent out yet thought you could enclose it in with the purchase as well. Manny and I have a planned North trip to Vermont in the next couple of weeks as well as our journey down South and don't won't to travel with an expired candidate/partner identification. We are bringing this to your attention to possibly save on a little postage too if possible. Thank you and much blessings to all during this magical season!
Love,
Manny & Maureen
