Honestly, the Trump presidency has gone just about how my best case scenario pictured it: any authoritarian impulse overwhelmed by the man’s bottomless stupidity, laziness, and incompetence. After the election, I told the more spooked people around me that he had neither the brains nor balls to be Pinochet, Putin, Erdogan, or Chavez. So far, it looks like I’m right. Here’s hoping it continues that way.

They are mean and cruel and crafty, but not smart. And they don’t operate smartly. They are loud, they are noisy, they are clumsy, and they telegraph everything. They will trip themselves up a lot and that provides room to maneuver.”

As well you should! I hope you mark the occasion well, and I’ve been fretting about the office manager conundrum. It’s hard to tell if she’s incapable of leading humans.

Some people should never be in charge of, or have power over other people.
From what you’ve written, it sounds like the doctor continues to have respect for her, and that may be history and habit, and the doctor may be unsuited to managing staff or its an avoidable burden.
But you’ve mentioned diminished health, and that may be a huge factor in defending her sense of self, prior capabilities and the inevitable realization that aging and inability to work, make a living, or life after working years isn’t what she planned for.
That you and your coworkers are the anvil upon which she is working the issues out on, IS something the doctor must adjudicate or mediate because the status quo is unacceptable and will impact the bottom line.
I wish you well in threading this needle.

He campaigned on the trail w/ Trump last year, but said he would not switch his vote even after Trump called him earlier tonight (& I am guessing said this would get fixed somewhere down the road).

We have a whole new species of tick lately, the Lone Star Tick, so called for a single white speck, the lone star, on a medium-small black tick body. And there’s one that’s so small it’s hard to get a grip on, the size of a semicolon ; smaller, actually. A tad bigger than a comma.
And of course each new breed of tick carries a new list of tropical diseases… yuck!
ETA: John, wonderful backyard garden, nice sky view of rainbow, thanks so much. Glad ABC is around, too. Hang in there.
