Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I learned the hard way not to be a trusting man. Yes I'm retired, yes I want to keep it that way, no I don't trust folks, and to that end I am keeping my professional licensures and certifications, current and valid. This requires Continuing Education Hours. Yesterday was six credit hours, which meant eight hours polishing my backside and staring at the laptop, and every fifteen minutes hitting the YES I'M HERE pop up button on the glowing screen. De Lawd was merciful -- we had considerable heavy rainfall and lightning, signal never wavered and power didn't go out (my router is plugged into a UPS against such moments) -- so I got through that two day Arse Grinder. Twelve hours in the books, the next session should be an in-person twelve-hour at my former employer's treatment plant, later this year. Nursing license is still paper study-and-test CEs. I'll tend those deeper into the year. Like I said, I'm not a trusting man. If I have to go back into the work force, I want current valid licensure or certification in my pocket. (Ohio Board of Nursing issues a license. Ohio EPA issues a certification. Potayto, pototto) In the meantime we've had better than an inch of rain so far, lightning storms were impressive, grateful for that new tin roof, my poor little basement sump pump is earning its pay ... pardon me, Paranoia prompts me to go check weather radar!

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted April 4 Author Posted April 4 Thank you, Blackwater. Ye Weather Guessers are telling us we're in for snow here in a few days. As if lightning maps that looked like broad stripes of yellow weren't enough, as if a confirmed tornado wasn't enough! Now that I've hit my threescore and ten, I reckon it's time to adopt the philosophy of an old mountaineer who reached his nineties: when asked his secret to long life, he said quietly, "When it rains, I let it!'
