BUSH DIARY DECEMBER 1996:
12-3-96: Charlie called over Thanksgiving to let me know that I will be a grandma in a few months. Hooray!!
Apartment dream. Tim mowed the lawn.
Might get Monica Back! Hazzah! ASNA has decided to hire an RRA for the medical records manager. I have been officially acting in that capacity. I have been on the horn with ASNA personnel and am trying to remodel and get a desk squeezed back into the department. Might not get her until April but I am happy to wait.
We upgraded the Email system and now have more icons to do more stuff.
House dream: Rented a house belonging to Dean Coltrin. The house had a very large black cat there and Dean said he forgot and would come get it.
12-3-96: Today is my sixth year of working in Barrow, that makes me practically a senior citizen on the medical records crew.
12-6-96: Terrible news today. I picked up the phone in admin and it was someone trying to contact Clara Steimetz significant other. He was working in one of the villages. She had died in her sleep. Dr. Perez said she was depressed and probably committed suicide.
12-7: Chatted with Charles and Leslie, July 4 is their due date. They have both quit smoking.
12-14: Craft fair at Ipalook grade school. I went specifically for mittens. Bought a brand new pair of spotted seal skin outer and lined with shearling lamb, fancy inset on wrist of calf skin, cuff made of beaver and the idiot strings attached for a total 130 dollars. They are so warm. The first pair I purchased was 85 dollars.
Interesting gossip: One of the doctors was talking about an arrest that happened on Alaska Airlines. A woman passenger was returning to Barrow and decided she needed a smoke. She went into the bathroom, tampered with the smoke detector and was met at the airport by the cops. Naughty. Federal offense for crying in a bucket. The fine will be 2000 dollars.
12-19-96: First ASNA Christmas Party. It was a potluck and ASNS furnished the turkey, yummy. We got individual gift bags of coffee mug, coffee beans, instant tear and other goodies. very nice
.
Price shocker at the craft fair. I caressed a home knitted sweater made from musk ox wool. It was lovely and was 2000 dollars. Sigh...
Price shocker of the week. Saw a small carton of Bing cherries imported from Chile, six dollars. Drool.
New twist at work. If you want daily lunch you must sign up for each meal by 10:30 a.m. Well I forget and the tuna is not worth signing up for.
Death certificate; A man froze to death when his snow machine broke down. The weather was awful and we had another blizzard.
Customer relations NOT: We had a civilian blow in and essentially demand services, would not cooperate with any of the information other than her name. There was much explanation etc and eventually she was given something and she explained that she was a member of Mensa and no one had to explain anything to her and she refused the service. Thank you, Smart Lady.
Christmas 12-25: We had a quiet day and exchanged gifts. I had almost forgotten one gift for Tim. He had been complaining about how there was never ping pong balls at the Teen Center. I fixed that one.
That's it for December 1996: G'night folks.
