toxic workplace...

PASSING THOUGHT: I know this sounds trite, but a toxic workplace is toxic.
My workplace is loaded=ineffective/negative communication, unprofessional/dishonest behaviour, punitive practices or policies and/or strained relationships between employees+admin leadership.
Way out?🤔🤔 pic.twitter.com/AD5hQGCNNo

PASSING THOUGHT: I hate to think I may leave my workplace under a cloud after all the years of service I've given. My world's crumbling. The prospect of quietly disappearing for the sake of my health is becoming a high possibility. I know my successes...That matters...
Move on...

farewell to David Gulpilil...

I'll never forget David Gulpilil's dramatic+sensitive role in the 1976 film 'Storm Boy'. But he was so much more than an actor...he was a singer and a painter. He had an amazing range of skills. A trailblazer for his culture. Thank you David for sharing your love of this land.

A trailblazer & giant of art and culture. Thank you, David Dalaithngu. I’ll never forget the impact Storm Boy had on me, from a wildlife, and Indigenous cultural perspective.

Bold and proud waters happening there. And the dog seems to have assumed the role of boat captain. He is loving the thrill of crossing waters at speed methinks...

hospital sign...

Tall, not-to-be-missed sign at Rosebud Hospital entrance...There was even someone right outside the door ensuring check-ins were done effectively+clarifying appointments. Visitors carefully counted. Just inside the door, an overhead monitor recorded peoples' temperatures... pic.twitter.com/4afEXOHfmS

hospital waiting room...

You would never guess that this is one of the waiting rooms at a hospital these days. This was at Rosebud Hospital while I waited for my CT scan...The same story appeared in other small areas I passed as I headed to my appointment...
All empty...
These are covid-19 days... pic.twitter.com/7qR2Dh4eIA

challenges are firing...

PASSING THOUGHT: CT Scan soon and feeling anxious...Not exactly sure why other than there seem to be so many challenges firing at me...Squealing smoke alarms yesterday+booking:
1. Quote for removal boxes+packing materials this Wednesday
2. Doctor's appointment again next Monday pic.twitter.com/yFErCdiwBp

Michael Tomalaris rises...

So he picked himself up, dusted himself down and rode/flew higher.
What a role model. https://t.co/FoIOh6phC0
