Good job, keep it up.

You may have a chance at this, just do a good job and concentrate
on the job only. Don't go on any rants about things you are working
to improve, like the environment, petroleum use, capitalism,
cannabis, churches, international student housing, autosexual
stuff, your high intelligence, degrees, superiority... in short
*anything* that is not directly related to your nursing job and
patients & coworkers.

It will be hard for you to keep this up, but you MUST in order to
succeed. Good luck!

Well we ALL know that john made the corona virus just so there would
be a need for nurses so he could get a job so he could get rid of
those damn walmart JBL speakers he was once so so proud of.

Glad it worked out. You go boy!
It will soon become routine and easier.
I'd sure love a 3-day a week job!
I've always preferred longer hours and less days.

I have done the 10 hours, 4 days deal.
Liked it much better than 8 hours, 5 days.
A 3-day weekend is almost like a mini-vacation each week.
And you have 4 days off a week.

When I was young, I worked at a government munitions plant. One could get
time and a half after eight hours in a day. That was the only to get
overtime.
I worked six tens often, got a good paycheck and a day off. Twelve hours of
overtime pay satisfied me.
For a couple of months during a particular Viet Nam War crisis, I worked
seven eights. There was nothing to look forward to, and I received no
overtime. I made far less than six tens. That experience was bleak and a
grand motivation to never be in the position to do that again for the rest
of my life.

It's probably a language problem. Working six tens means nothing to
me. But I understand he never wants to do it again.

Otherwise, I worked six days a week for ten hours a day and later worked
seven days a week for eight hours a day.

When you're accessing Google Groups from a mobile device, it doesn't
automatically include the previous posts. It's a pain to copy/paste
the context.

That's why I won't use my phone for Usenet.

My newsreader shows references to the thread right
in the headers. Just click on the last reference to
see what the person is responding to if it's not quoted.
The reference numbers are active links.

For example, Thomas' posts only contain his comment so I
usually click on the last reference to see what he is
responding to. No big deal to me.

If he can't be bothered to include relevant text, I can't be bothered
reading him.

Where I worked we worked 8 hour days at straight time but very often
we also worked 12 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, those extra 8 hours
were at time and a half. We were also asked to work Saturdays and
sometimes Sundays, those were for double time. There were times when
we worked three shifts, I liked the midnight shift, from midnight to 6
AM but were paid for 8 hours and from 5 AM til 6 AM we did clean up,
cleaned off the machines and swept the floors of metal chips... was
great pay for what amounted to custodial work... but worked out well
as it saved them from having to hire a crew who would hang around
leaning on their brooms for eight hours and being in the way.

In the perfect world, we would all use the same newsreader
but we don't.

Evidently what Thomas uses doesn't add quotes. I don't
mind clicking on the active link to see what he's talking
about.

Same with Dsi1 who often gets yelled at for posting a
comment without linefeeds and some here have to scroll
sideways to read. My newsreader is set to wrap all
incoming mail so I don't have that scrolling problem.

I'm too lazy to use a real newsreader, so I don't get a threaded view.
All I get is every post in the order they hit Google's server, or maybe
the order in which they were sent out. I just don't care enough about
Usenet to upgrade my viewing experience.

LOL If you switched to my newsreader, it would be a serious
*downgrade*. (Netscape® Communicator 4.73) (Windows98 too)
It's perfect for usenet. No need to upgrade.

I do use Thunderbird on the newer computers for mail
and the occasional usenet.

I'd be quite happy with the old text based Unix utility "trn". It's a
bit of a drag having to copy URLs from the command-line window and
paste them into the browser, though.

I'm sorry you have a problem with reading for comprehension. Are you

The Google Group desktop interface is pretty cool because you can do a search of the postings directly from the window. You can also see the number of posts the group and you make and find out all kinds of stuff.
