Garage Sales
I was never much of a garage sale person, but now with Courtney growing out of her clothes so fast it seems to be the only way to go. I went out during City Garage sale days and got quite a bit of clothes. Here are all of the goodies I found.

New standard operating proceedure at work
Last year at work, our night shift was so short staffed that the supervisors were having trouble filling (finding volunteers) all of the openings. So, the higher powers decided that there should be a policy to fill these vacancies. Needless to say the majority of the staff is not liking this new policy. Here it is in a nutshell:
If a shift remains unfilled 72 hours prior to the shift time, the supervisors get to tell somebody they have to fill it. The supervisors assign based on reverse seniority and make sure the proper mix of staff is working. The employees get to turn down one shift and if they do it a second time, there is some documentation that gets put into your permanent file.
This also applies to sick calls in which you may get 5 hours notice before you have to fill a shift.
Back to the proper mix of staff. The reason I am especially not keen on this policy is that I have quite a wide skill mix. I do 3 out of the 4 departments, including Blood bank which has fairly limited staff. In fact, I am next on the list as the 5 people that have less seniority than me have either already filled their turn or they do not do blood bank.
So wish me luck that we have lots of volunteers to fill all of the openings and that no one calls in sick!

First time swimming
A while back, we went and stayed in a hotel while Brian was coaching JO volleyball. While there, Courtney went swimming for the first time. Well... maybe not swimming. I guess it could be described as hanging on for dear life! Maybe a zero entry pool is more her style.

9 month photo shoot
I bet you are expecting photos. Well maybe next week. We went to take the pictures and true to form, Courtney was all off of her schedule so when we got there at 10:40 (normally she would be done with her morning nap) she hadn't taken a nap yet. Needless to say, she didn't crack a smile the whole time we were there. We shall try again... next week!
