I didn't like my doc for quite a while, actually.  I was contemplating
switching docs, and we had words, but when the dust settled, and he
hired the PA, I chose to stay.  Then, I decided that I do like him.  
And, I think he is a good doc.  Kind of an abrupt personality that takes
some getting used to, I suppose.

Now, for the job front................
My job is going GREAT!  Did you think you'd ever think I'd be saying
that?  <g>  When Dave died last year, I thought it was the end of the
world.  He was a great supervisor, a great person, and I still miss him.

When he was dying, if you remember, I got that dipshit Barry as my boss
again.  The same dipshit who suspended me for that trumped up porn
charge.  Which I beat, by the way.  We settled out of court, and I was
completely exxonerated, getting my back pay and benefits, and my record
cleared. I found out that the agency settled because they were
protecting Barry, who was staring down the barrel of a two week
suspension for an illegal personnel practice, that being retalliation
against a whistleblower. That's OK.  I still won.  But, this past
January, that dickhead became the general superintendent at Gateway
National Recreation Area.  He's gone, gone, gone.  I do NOT miss him one
iota.  That lowlife sack of garbage.

Our new superintendent is great.  Fabulous.  He actually told me that he
thinks that blowing the whistle was a very brave thing to do.  Imagine
that.  He gets it.  And, he's a great supervisor to work for.  He also
told me that I should rightly be a GS-13, instead of a GS-12 (grade and
salary status - higher is better, up to GS-15, then there are higher
series in the Executive branch, ie GM or SES).  I told him that any time
he wants to give me an upgrade, don't let me stop him.  <bg>

Life on the job front is going really well.  Thanks for asking.  :-)

Not this time.  I'm taking Dilaudid (morphine) for pain a lot of evenings.
