Perhaps! I have gotten very good at no expectations!

Hearing about you, and the way that you were able to "reopen" your heart to him, helps me to see that is is possible. Whether it happens or not, I guess time will tell!

It sounds like calling someone not to come in is "normal", and being done more and more. It's the first time it has happened to W, fortunately. I imagine she just won't get paid, and she'll try to pick up a shift later, which seems possible in the summer. What really bugged me was that the "manager" overruled the charge nurse. Micromanagement at it's best. From what I've heard (I heard a bit today!) this "manager" is disliked by everyone except the higher management. Her budget numbers make the higher ups happy, but she micromanages.

It think Hola, and Buenos dias will work! I think I'll hold off on the besitos! (Is a pollito a little chick?)

Abrazos to you, Jen!
