Firings and business meetings

So, my boss decided to let go one of my hygienists - the problem, he didn't make any provisions ahead of time of what to do about the 8 patients I have scheduled on Tuesday morning. I was more than a little frustrated Friday afternoon, to say the very least. I enjoy my job and the girls I work with - but, on occasion, my boss, like all bosses can sometimes make decisions and leave the rest of us to deal with the ramifications. I appreciate the confidence in my ability, but don't like the assumption that I will just be able to make a licensed hygienist appear out of thin air (on my afternoon off)! :) Anyway, placed the help wanted ad, contacted the lock smith & got a replacement for Wednesday, but not Tuesday or Thursday. More jewels in my crown maybe?? As for the business meeting reference, a committee I sit on chose to meet informally, and make decisions,then let me know about it later. I did express my opinion on what they had chosen, but they chose to proceed anyway. Since I have agreed to NOT speak out in a business meeting about what we disagree about in committee - I just simply voted "no" today against what they were recommending. Due to the political nature of the power players (who happen to be opposed to whatever Bob or our pastor recommends), the motion passed anyway. We are waiting on God's leading - He still hasn't released us from this church yet, and Lord knows we've tried to find positions elsewhere, so here we stay until He says go. Pray for my hubby, he is discouraged and frustrated with all of this, and with watching me get stuck in the middle. It kills him that my opinion doesn't account for anything in a committee since I'm his wife, and thus any opinion is really his, not my own mind. Enough ranting - Bob & the boys had had a ball playing Wii at my sister's when we were there - so, since we had some extra funds left at the end of June, we bought one yesterday as a belated Father's Day gift. Bob spent most of the afternoon playing and the boys played for awhile after he left for a meeting. I want to find a Wii Fit so I can maybe get this 40 year old flabby body in shape. So far, everywhere is sold out - I'll just have to keep looking. Hey - my left palm is itching - doesn't that mean I'm supposed to get money soon??? :) That would be grand! Nat should be getting his cast off the 9th if all has healed correctly - lets hope so...its really hard to be a little boy in the summer w/a cast when everyone else is swimming. That's all for now - I think I've vented enough for tonight.
