Dad

5/22/09 my dad went to heaven where he will see the saviour and my mother. He died Friday about 2am, when I saw him last he was sleeping although I don't think consciencously, but peaceful. Aftewards I saw him he was what appeared to be serine and I was glad that his time was up for him here, believing he would be in heaven.
I will try and get more photos of him and get them in this as a tribute to the man who took care of my needs until I was able to on my own, and even then with the proding of my mother help in other areas.

May 21, 2009

Today I received a call about 10:40 am from the hospice, Heidi called to inform me dad had taken a turn for the worse. I left work and came to Baylor hospital. I sat with dad for about an hour and two of his friends from the Baylor cardiac exercise group stopped by, Darlene and Elizabeth. They spoke of how dad was a big hit with all the people who worked out there and about his faithfulness to exercise, undoubtedly they will pass the word about him and his condition.
I spoke to Heidi about dad's condition and she mentioned that he had mottling in his legs and was blue and cold to the touch indicating the conservation of blood to the vital organs. He when I was with him seemed to be breathing OK, but Heidi suggests that is because of the morphine which eases breathing. After speaking with her and trying to get an idea about how long, her indication was that with those symptoms she didn't think it would be to long until he expired. So the wait goes on.

Time will tell




Well on Friday I had a conference call with the eeoc, code of conduct investigation team. About a call in which I referred to Mexico, the political parties in California and about Willie Brown - a black man who was governor about 1987 or so. This is the second offence since Jan 24, when I made a comment about now supporting the "new massa in da white house" and after someone was offended and notified my supervisor was given a "coaching session" and warned NEVER to let this happen again.
I must say I did say these things not out of malice but after being comfortable in this first situation and creating re-pore with a customer violated the code of conduct. As was mentioned in the conference call Verizon has a zero tolerance, I must say my last days with Verizon South West maybe few. Tuesday or Wednesday maybe the end.
I may be in the masses of unemployed by Wednsday and with some money I have saved for a "rainy day", maybe looking for another job, with a lesson well learned - no idle chat.

I did make a Gimp signature, my first:
