    No the whole hypertension thing, trying to simmer down. Then again that is why I have hypertension, I am not allowed to say what I feel because of my job, otherwise it would be a wake of tears and hurt feelings. I can not hold others to the standards I hold myself.

    Here's something that helped me
    When people are over the top stupid and trigger me. Smile, smile your warmest smile and quietly say out loud....ass then walk away. It really is a stress reliever.

    I want to contact a temporary agency to see if I can hire somebody to follow me around at work. When I get "frustrated" I will shove them them down, give them a bonus if I can kick them a few times. Is that wrong? Performance reviews would be a lot more fun.

    That's the spirit! It is important to at least keep saying these kinds of things in your mind to stay sharp for when you retire. Then you can (and most likely will) say exactly what's on your mind. We don't want to see you go soft and kind as you age. You have earned the right to "Grumpy Old Man" status!

    I can't wait till I get crazy old man status, you know where you get old and people dismiss things you say well because you are a crazy old man. I can't wait till I can go to the liquor store and walk up to the cashier and how are you doing today sweet tits.

    I have told my supervisor on more than one occasion that if we ever hired for a "Terry Tate" position at the hospital, I was applying.

    Brother in law held Thanksgiving at his house. All of them are vaccinated.

    Guess who didn't get it....lol. I even waited it out to see if things changed.

    Can you add a little more context... I'm assuming you were there as well. all of the vaccinated people tested positive and you didn't?

    Brother in law, his wife and her family are all vaccinated and were present.

    Myself, husband, and his one brother are unvaccinated - and are fine.

    Brother in law and three from her family tested positive. I have not heard about his wife - but she was on quarantine due to him having it.
