Why management is so fearful of Collective Bargaining makes no sense at all.Not only is it good for labor it's just good business.
How can you make money with incompetent unskilled help they actually wind up costing not only profits but worse than that they can destroy the companies' good name with stupidity and laziness.Since I have resumed my favorite position as Watcher I must say I'm amazed this palace is still open. The state was here last week it was truly bizarre as they put out the towels garbage cans anything to catch the water pouring in from the rain but since it only leaks when it rains when it stops so do the leaks and they ignore the problem maybe some roofing trolls will just come fix it don't know never met any.My status is pretty good up to 150 lbs.Good appetite.I have become somewhat of a nudge but the staff know the deal now I speak up when needed. Self preservation I suppose I'm lucky since I do have some good people trying to keep me from being blown off Nurses Aides and Supervisors even the administrator so I'll beat off the morons Later

There is a place we all reach when we just can no longer buy the lies and crap. I have been without important medication for more than a week a simple thing becomes a total mess once again because of my favorite group of fifth wheels. The mid level bureaucrat serving no true function or purpose. Now most of you know my respiratory system is in very bad shape and without proper care life gets pretty unpleasant and breathing gets tough so every day without my inhaler my lungs close up a little bit more,meanwhile the refill order sits in some so called supervisors office.It seems to me just because I try not to be a pain they think I will not get irritated they are dead wrong I plan on making as much trouble as possible my complaint has been carefully worded so the correct people get jammed up not my nurses and aides they do the right thing and take good care of me so I've covered them since the union busting scabs will try to place the blame on them instead of the responsible party's.
I don't enjoy causing trouble but I refuse to have my health
jeopardized because of politics penny pinching and laziness.
So it has become time for them to meet my darker side.
Once again the powers that be try to squeeze the worker.It's funny how things work out the suits are attempting to crush the union at Avalon. Same tactics as Foley fear lies and misinformation of course as a resident I'm not supposed to know about the fight since it might upset me,I'm beyond upset more like pissed off these things have a direct effect on me and it's my right to be informed.
Do they really think I believe they are worried about my fragile mental state please give me a break it's the penny wise pound foolish tactics that almost killed me you get what you pay for in this world. They just don't get it replacing good dedicated people with incompetents is really not a very smart move no matter what business your in. Somehow I don't think I'll get the same quality of care from the lowest bidder. The staff is fighting set up a picket line with a billboard truck trying to get some copies of pictures taken without getting anyone in trouble. I keep the picture from Newsday on my wall just to let them know whose side I'm on. They seem to think because it's private they can do as they wish,nothing could be further from the truth private facilities are even more tightly controlled than any other, that's part of the reason they treat me with kid gloves they know that scary fed I had here is just itching to come back and crucify them she really didn't like them. And it's common knowledge she left me her personal cell number and told me to call her if they try to kill me again. So that's about it once again it's the haves against the have nots it's not right but that's the way it is and has always been.
I don't know about most people but I really believe if it ain't broke don't fix it and don't treat me like a moron. I have a so called social worker whose purpose I've yet to figure out.Did exactly the opposite of my instructions and now expects me to fix his mess why would I do his job,if he had left everything alone as asked there would be no problem. Once again laziness rears it's ugly face a minimum of effort is all that's needed.Do your job or I will get nasty.
It's been a while since my last post,no particular reason just get side tracked. I'm now in my fourth room at Avalon the last move was to help out a fellow Foley refugee and it worked out well it's a pretty nice room. Little things like a very large bathroom my own closet,window seat and I control the A.C. nice unit too even has a dehumidify setting very good for my breathing. No body knows what got me so sick but I'm almost back to my normal self might get some shoes on this week the swelling is almost down. Eileen visits at least once a week comes on the Scat bus she also agreed to be my health care proxy just in case between her and the living will I think I'm pretty well covered against any craziness a D.N.R. seems a little extreme I'm in no rush right now and the meds keep me reasonably comfortable. I get along well with all my caregivers,if you treat people correctly they seem to respond in kind. No politics this time around,what can you say when you have spoiled children at the helm.
So it finally comes to pass the crooks get there way, apparently they are going to waste some money on a study to see if the John J.Foley Facility can become part of the Jail complex. I really wonder what they are doing. I would imagine it would be fairly costly to convert the building Since all the rooms have built in Oxygen Air and Suction that would have to go right away
as well as securing the place for the new guests. I get the feeling this is another sideways maneuver for cover so the place can be sold to a private provider, since that has always been the plan
since day one. What a waste of resources and money. Mr. B I have to admit you are actually slicker than snot and very good at being a politician remarkable.
So I seem to be doing better,mainly due to getting a really good nurse. Her name is Debby and she is the real nurse for this unit. The first thing she plans on doing is going over my medical history instead of just working blind. I can tell I will get good care since she cares about her work,she also knows how hard we fought for Foley. Even knows about Lyme probably more than most Doctors. Just got a good feeling about the woman a most pleasant person for a change.
