Missing Aide

No aide showed for my morning shift today.  Somebody tried to get in at 7:30, failed, and didn't come back.

Luckily, Yodit was here overnight, and she did everything necessary before she left, but she's not here every night.  I need to be able to count on somebody being here that early shift.

Baseball And Snow

This weekend marks the beginning of major league baseball's regular season, but, wouldn't you know it, light snow is forecast for this area.

Baseball games are occasionally snowed out, especially in Denver, but I hope this is the very last of the white stuff this go 'round.

Nephew Aaron

My nephew Aaron is graduating cum laude with two degrees from Miami of Ohio in May.  He's into ornithology, the study of birds, and he's already done field work in both Australia and Alaska.  The last I heard, he wants to be a college professor.

Good going, Aaron!

Davies, Not Davis

The name of my new team leader is Jeff Davies, not, as previously reported in this blog, Jeff Davis.  So, as far as I know, it's not a particularly historic name.  Yet.

My apologies to Mr. Davies.

Folorunso

I understand my aide Folorunso is returning to his native Nigeria for five weeks to adopt a baby.

I don't know yet who will cover his shifts with me, but Yodit tells me she is willing to do some of them.  I hope she gets them.

Aide Accident

Saturday morning, on his way to me, my aide Troy was in a traffic accident.  He was not seriously injured, but the  company had  to scramble to cover his shifts here,, which it did.

Troy was scheduled to be here first thing this morning, too.  He was late, but he made it, even though he probably should have stayed home.  He was not in good shape.

Boys In The Home

Currently, my staff of regular aides is dominated by men.  Yodit is the only woman in the bunch.

I don't know whether that's be design or it just happened, and it doesn't especially matter, but it is curious.
