That song by Peter Gabriel has been running through my head, it kninda fits, getting off working 4 hours for each day, Saturday and Sunday. Today was actually more difficult because there are constant phone ca;;s, people wanting information. I was rereading the initial analysis from the EPA group that did a very limited study of the problem and they blame the dump, at least partially. I wonder if they had been thorough if they would have reached the same conclusion.
More review of my data and ensuring what I have put in is correct. I start to get a bit impatient with the people collecting the samples because they do it only on weekends and continue their normal work (which i do the analytical support for) during the week. People call wondering why the info lines on the beaches (the season closed Labor day) has not been updated. People asking why the shellfish beds have not had the water tested (maybe cause it does not matter since the FDA said meat samples have to be taken before the beds can be opened). Life goes on and it is enough for me to keep busy anyway and then i am still dealing with the Scofield thing. I have ticks to start up in a few weeks (the final hurrah before winter) and then there are swimming pools (yes, from of all places the new Trump parc building with one tenant who wants the pool opened),
My boss looked at me today and asked if the weekend work was too much for me, i do not think he quite understands yet.
I see my GP on Thursday and start the discussion about disability, that should be interesting.
The song still goes through my head and for what ever reason, i am at peace.

HI JOEY -
Your work issues are quite unsettling to say the least. And, the disability process? As in social security disability or private through your work? Very different dynamics. Each suck though but it is doable. Patience and perseverance.
Love to you
Gail
peace.....
"At peace" is a good place to be. For whatever reason.
I'm sorry to hear about all the working. I realize you are kind of stuck, because there is no one else to do it. Unfortunately, it is time you can never get back...I do hope it eases for you soon.
You should be proud to do something nobody else can. You should know that we all want to see you get weekends off (me, too, while we're at it!) and you should always expect that you are a most wonderful person.
I hope the disability discussion goes well. That's a big one to tackle.
