Hi, Derrick and I were away at what they call ALU for special olympics
we had a great time. We had a group of 4 athlete's and 4 mentors
in our group and then some butler students. Which was really nice.

It was also nice that some of the Butler students helped Derrick with
some of his writing. So it wasn't always mom doing it all. He also was
in the final group for a prestigious award this afternoon, but didn't
win it. But it was the honor of being in the group that counted.

It was a great weekend.

At your age it honestly wont probably matter. I hadn't had one and was
putting it off for as long as I could. Just finally decided one day it was time
when my nurse practioneer asked if I had one yet. Had told her no. She said,
I should have had one, I think it was 5 years before. But I had one that
year and had a biopsy that year too. Then a couple of good mammograms.
Then never for a few years a good one. Then one more. Then none again.

So now I don't get them because I have no boobs to get one on.

Donna

Bizi,
Glad you got yours, and yes, 3-D is the best.

much better.

Derrick was being his usual self tonight at work. And one of the servers
wasn't doing her job. He was the runner which means he takes out the
meat and things like that. He took the meat to a table, and they informed
him that they still hadn't gotten their salads, so he asked her I guess if
she wanted him to get them for her. He said, it wasn't the only time,
he was doing lots of her salads and rolls. And even filling drinks for
her. Which he will do anything anyone needs.

But this one table, gave him a $10 dollar bill, which he tried to tell them
no. Because it wasn't his job or supposed to be given. But they wouldn't
listen. I'm guessing later he would have given her at least half is she hadn't
said anything. But not sure exactly what all she said.

But he, said, she said, if you want to do my job go ahead and take my job or
tables and do it. It had to be more. Because he got really upset.

But also one of his really good friends. Told her that she could get O'charleys
sued for what she said, and that something to do with disabilities too.

And he was so upset that he went to take a small break but couldn't calm
down so asked to leave for the night. And went to Barnes and Nobles and
called me on the way. And since my phone wasn't hearing well he texted
and told me were to pick him up.

He said, the manager back with him. Said the main manager would
be talking to her tonight and would take care of it. And that he wasn't sure
if she would even have a job after that.

I'll post whatever happens tomorrow. But something is. Because I
went in to check and see what kind of shifts are open this next week.

He really likes to work 4 shifts a week, so I was seeing if he could get
another one next week. Its not looking good.

But he is still there as far as I know tonight. And he knows I would want
to know different. Because I was worried when he left. But he clocked
in and then 2 minutes later out. I don't know why.

I do know the days he trains for the kitchen to cook so far its not in his schedule
and its not in how he is being paid. I trust her to get it fixed at some point.

But I'm hoping that is all that has happened. That for some reason they
are short a cook or prep cook tonight, and took him and put him there.

Donna

I forgot to tell you they really missed him last weekend, nothing got done
in the prep for this week, or this weekend. So he was working on it on Tuesday
because to go was slow. And I guess they have a board to tell others they
are doing good. When he was gone last weekend, one of the employees said,
they should just change the name to the Derrick board.
