RIP little finch. It passed away during the night. At least it was safe and warm.

Found female finch under our feeder acting strange. She has a little blood on her beak so she must have hit our window sometime today. To keep her from being killed by the local outdoor cats, she is now in our cat carrier with seed and water. Hopefully she bounces back and can be released tomorrow

Pierre you are a temporary foreign worker thanks to Battle River-Crowfoot for giving you someone else’s job.

That sounds very DEI to me 😂😅🤣

And for me it will be the drive home from Winnipeg after a long night shift in Nicu. Enjoy the day my friend.

Boo!

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand:

What is that alarm?

Probably my username. IH8zambonidrivers69

Sorry. Can’t help myself.

Pets never fail to surprise.

Same for us yesterday. Ear infections in both pups. Hope yours is ok.

Picked up swayman as my 3rd goalie in fantasy. I’ll take any win I can get with him.

2 other masked passengers besides myself on a full plane of coughing people last week. Very happy with my choice. I’m sure they were too.

One nice benefit of having my workplace located in the middle of a field. When riding my bike in the dark, occasionally you get treated to something cool like the northern lights. Not sure too many car commuters would have noticed this morning. It made for a nice start to the week. Happy Monday!

I know some people are disappointed about the women’s rugby team loss (they shouldn’t be because they were awesome during the whole tournament), but a Canadian woman named Magdeleine Vallieres, won the women’s road cycling world championship this weekend and I think that’s pretty amazing.

If there is one thing to be concerned about Tylenol, it’s not Autism. It’s accidental overdose and liver failure. I’ve seen it. Please follow the directions on the bottle.

For a guy who isn’t officially “on call”, getting called in once every 3 days this month makes me very concerned for the upcoming “busy” season. Another 13hr day starting at 2 am is making it hard to get to the 9 pm bedtime today.

This government has been so underwhelming.

I ran a 5 hour trail race today and now my legs are rejecting me. I really should properly train for this kind of stuff.

So many preventable deaths in the future will happen because of the willful ignorance of few people in power today.

8 degrees and raining for the bicycle ride home today. Is it weird that I’m looking forward to it?

A driveway and sidewalk in the foreground with 3 pine trees in the middle of the frame. All surrounded by green grass with a foggy sky at sunrise.

Pretty nice view out of the window at work this morning. I had to get outside to capture this one.

It is crazy what decades of a terrible education system can do to a country.

Took the cat for a walk and it started to rain. Walk cut short #catsky

12-13 hr shifts are normal in healthcare and I do them often. Starting at 2 am for a 13 hr stretch is not normal and has kicked my ass today.

Thank you

Thank you for sharing that thread. Being overwhelmed on the frontline for the past 5 and many other yrs of my 28 yr career, I am now starting a similar journey with one of my parents. It’s tough. Sending strengthening thoughts your way.

They’re the same people who didn’t follow the Covid rules because it inconvenienced them. It’s always me, me, me. Never we, we, we. It’s too much to ask people to think of others first these days. Sigh.

Even rural it’s getting crazy. 560 sq ft bungalow going for $250k in Morden. Small lot with an attached garage.

I am number 2.

Well I stuck to my guns and left my phone on do not disturb for all of July. Didn’t go to work once and they mostly left me alone. Returning to work on Tues so decided to turn on phone but leave in silent. My bad. At work twice today because our health system is a gong show right now. Ugh
