I'm glad you got today off! I know how you struggle in the snow and ice as I do. We are getting our first snow tonight... 5-8"... yay.

I'm hoping no news is good news from Derrick, too. And I hope that the event in Indy is just cancelled, so that you don't have to decide whether or not to cancel yourselves

Derrick had an good day. His Job coach was there as promised part
of the day. And she told him to call her if he needed her at any part
of the rest of the day. He said, his main boss the guy who hired
him came in and asked the lady who made the comments if she
didn't have something to say to Derrick. And she told him.

She apologized for what she said. And I guess one of the other
cooks had to apologize too. Not sure exactly, but something about
he had said it too. Not that Derrick had known that. And she had
learned he was talking about leaving the hall, and she told him she
didn't want that. He was a good worker.

And also explained she had no control over the students making him
or the other temps do the dishroom, but that they were all doing the
dishroom now not just him. And that if that wasn't true he was
to tell her.

There thanksgiving is tomorrow.

Derrick is out here for the weekend. Then back to the neuro
on Monday and work on Tuesday for him. Right now I don't
have much next week. So I will have an light work week.

But we will see what all trouble I can get into heehee.

Anyway I finished my week with another case conference.

Donna

I'm glad that the big boss spoke to Derrick''s supervisor. Hopefully nothing like that happens again. I'm glad he is getting some time off, and hope that everything goes okay at the neurologist.

Personally, I hope you do get yourself into a little trouble... you've earned the right to have some fun!

Well i guess there was more than just a speaking to the supervisor.
It seems the head cook at his hall is the other one that had
to apologize to Derrick. And Derrick's boss had to inform his boss,
that he had okayed this action. So his kind like bosses or co-workers
all showed up at their hall yesterday to over see his job. And Derrick's
supervisor is being re-assigned to the night shift for a while because
of what she did. So starting I believe next week for a while he is
getting a new supervisor.

The head chef was also told that he needs to work with Derrick and
the other temp that have safe serv's and start to get to know them.
And I guess the situation with the putting them in to the dish room
has kind of been figured out too. They are to share and rotate even
in the same day the position.

I guess on Monday, the head chef asked if the other person who has
an safe serv, knows the dishroom, and she is being finished trained,
what Derrick hasn't taught her. And even seeing if she can do what
Derrick taught her correctly then getting the rest of the training from
the head chef. He is taking it serious that he needs to change his
thinking.

Donna

That sounds good to me...
I’m glad that his old supervisor is being reassigned to the night shift for a while... serves her right.

Yes Kay it does.

He was really surprised but Purdue doesn't take bullying lightly.
And his boss really doesn't want to loss him to another hall.
Or at all. He knows this was the hall he wanted to come back
to.

Donna

Well Derrick is headed out with my husband. He was coming tomorrow,
but his appointment tomorrow got cancelled. So he is getting picked up
early. His dog Dobey is so ready. Yah.

He is planning to do lots of cooking and shopping. Heehee,
which is so nice. He is so nice all the time.

Just life.

Donna

I'm happy Derrick is coming early! It will be nice to have a cooking buddy as well as a shopping buddy! You two really seem to enjoy one another's company, and are attached at the hip!

Kay

Yes, we have great times. His dog was so happy to see him. He has
been spending time with me. Because Derrick wasn't home much.

But you could tell he was starting to miss him. So now he is in his
lap and I think he slept the best he has for a while last night. And
Jake slept in the living room too. So I had a bed without dogs last
night.
