Now for the "real" work office. Part coat closet, storage, and work desk. Among all the other stuff to trip over. No window, no view, great hiding spot.

Another reason to call my garden my office,
Maybe, a rescue mission for these gorgeous Spanish oak chairs.
I started refinishing and tearing down furniture for my mother's upholstery shop at 11 years old.
I was going to donate these to a charity sale, I think they may get the newer chairs for the sale, I am kind of loving these

A View From The Office
So this is my "official" summer office. The place, I take my laptop and coffee to. The place I plan my day from. The place my patrons "the hummingbirds" pop by to tell me how delicious the garden is looking this year.

Poor, Poor, Management

I have been at my place of work for just over a year. In the time, I have become 5th in line in seniority at one of the largest employers in our area......yea, that sounds bad.
It is not a bad place to work. I really enjoy my job.
In a corporate effort to save money, we work twelve hour shift, which is massively draining. We have had three DON's, the job is stressful, made more stressful by the hierarchy which are all related.
At our facility, being Director of Nursing is a bit like being the guy in the blue shirt on Star Trek, by the end of the weeks episode, you will be gone. I liked the last two DON's very much. The first rolled up her sleeves and did anything needed. The second worked long and diligent hours trying to make real improvements. Now we have a third.
The third spent all morning texting me on my only day off to see if I would come to work, got the Administrator to text me to come to work, and used a cell phone to try and mandate me. They can only mandate by phone, by speaking directly to you. They cannot leave a message, they cannot text.
I am sometimes a reasonable person. I looked at the schedule. I would be following a lovely, gregarious lady, but a shit employee. Cleaning up after her laziness on my one day off, not happening. I already have to work double to clean up after her on my scheduled days. The new DON will have to clean up after her, but she won't. do that. I'll be going back Monday to a heck of a mess.
Al things considered, my phone is going on Airplane mode and I will be planting flowers.
Poor, poor, management.

Ever since a local coffee shop moved into this building and put the giant cut out coffee mug up, I have wanted this picture. The cup is several feet from the bear, but at just the right spot, well the bear is savoring some Java.
On a side not during the last election someone painted Trump all.over the bear. It has since been painted.

The other day while in the hot tub one of my yard birds landed on the edge and began chirping. Not being fluent in chirp, I translated the dialogue as follows, "So your bird bath is up and mine isn't." Today, I politely rectified the problem.

There once was a whole building attatched. Now only the tower remains.
