BOY have I ever got a Friday the 13Th story for you all...........


My morning started at the usual 4 a.m.
Up, make the coffee, Sit down here and check PM's and the thread with my coffee.
Shower, shave and ready to walk out the door by 5 a.m. to work.

However....yesterday the Maintenance Man (here to known as M.M.) used my Transport Vehicle (hereto known as T.V.).
I instructed him to give the keys to Michelle (My G/f) who also works at the Nursing Home (here to known as N.H.)

So.....5 a.m. waking G/f up 1 1/2 hours BEFORE her alarm....Welcome Friday 13Th.
"Babe where are my van keys?" answer "I don't know why?"
Well....@$%&#* M.M. didn't give them to you before you left work?.....No!

5:05 a.m....I'm 55 minutes until my 1st resident is to be at the Dialysis Clinic......
.....takes me 30 minute to strap the wheel chair in and drive the distance.

Call the M.M. at BOTH his HOME # and CELL #. HE's not answering bet ur arse!!

Call the Director of Nursing (here to known as DoN.) (did I mention it was Friday 13Th?)
who was already awake with 2 year old son that is WOUND for sound and had been for over an hour (NOT a good thing)
Explained my dilemma......no keys....called the last guy that I KNEW had them no answer.......
....Reply "I KNOW where they are"! "Locked in my office"!!

My response..."How do you suggest we remedy this"?
Tick......tick.....tick.......50 minutes and counting.....
"Well would it be too much for you to come and get my office keys and let yourself in to get them"?
(20 miles round trip none of it really open road!!)

5:10 a.m. out the door to get the keys.....yadda, yadda, yadda

5:45 back at the N.H. and finally have the keys in hand.....15 minutes behind my usual leave out time.
By the way it's STILL Friday 13Th

Get the T.V. pulled into position and open the Wheel Chair Lift Door
(Not gonna shorten that DON'T plan on using it again).
Go greet my Resident and she is the type Lady the REALLY stresses if she has to be late for any reason!
To say she was ready to leave would be the Understatement of the Year at this point!

5:50 a.m. Take the Resident out and put her in the T.V. It STILL Friday 13Th and not even DAYLIGHT yet!!
Now this is a Short Bus (NO WISECRACKS) with NO lights in the rear passenger area!
I wheel the Resident into position and reach down in the dark where the 1st of the 4 straps I use on the Wheelchair lays....
.....no strap......in fact NO STRAPS in the floor at all.
These straps are made to lock into a channel made into the floor. I have NO IDEAL why the M.M. would remove them but........
......I found them up in a seat!!

So now another 10 minutes getting them untangled and straightened out and locked back into the floor.
All the while the Resident is sitting next to the open Wheel Chair Lift Door
(Hmmmm maybe I should have shortened that).
And I am on my Cell phone with my 2nd call of the morning to the D.o.N.
This time I am agitated....and cussing.....and threatening the M.M. with his own tools!

6:00 a.m. and we are FINALLY on the road and only 1/2 hour late on........you guesses it Friday 13Th!!!

Delivery goes very well. As is expected!
I have another early run so back to the N.H. for the 2nd in a somewhat calmer demeanor.
2nd run of the day goes well and I am home by about 9 a.m. for a bit of Slashing to relax some between runs
But Ladder Slasher is also evidently haven't it's own Friday 13Th because it's lagging badly!

No relaxing.....just sitting and chatting and getting more worked up by the minute LOL.

10 a.m. back to the N.H. to get ready for the next run.
I have decided it's time to go to the Facility Administrator (here to known as F.A.) concerning the B.S. (Yall already know what that means) of the morning.
This wasn't the 1st time time M.M. had driven my T.V. and screwed something up.

So in the office I go. Tell the F.A. we need a meeting and sit down
Now then....I have decided (in retrospect) FRIDAY 13TH is NOT the day to have a meeting with your boss!!

I start out with the fact that ANOTHER Facility the Company owns had called me yesterday
(the day before Friday 13Th) and fairly well demanded I be there Tuesday to take their Residents on an Outing!
Told her I informed them I would put them on my Schedule but IF we had Dr's appts, HERE that would take precedence over the outing.

She says....."Can I stop you here a minute"?
(here comes that #%#^& Friday 13th feeling)
"I just had a call from Corporate and they have hired a driver to handle all 3 of these Facilities" (the other 2 are 45 miles away).......

I'm thinking..."I work 35-40 hours a week at this ONE Facility. We have that many appts to run".
How is ONE driver going to be able to take care of THREE places!?

........and they have instructed me to Terminate you"!
(THERE IT GOES FULL BLOWN 13TH)

And how was YOUR
