The Search Begins

2021 rings in with great news!!! Our office worker, you know the one..."who are you", "what do you want", "can I help you", "I'm busy", "do you live here", "there's a building 10?", "when did we get a pool?", "I'm not getting up", "my hours are 10:35a.m. til 11:47a.m."...... you know who.... has decided to call it a career and retire.  There IS joy in "Whoville" because after 10 years she never knew "who" anyone was. So now begins the search for our new office worker. At this time we'd like to offer some tips for whomever takes that position. If ignoring people is particularly important to you and you feel walking the grounds might force you to introduce yourself, just remain in the office and pretend to be busy. When faced with a difficult situation, like talking or breathing, make sure to act unprofessional, inappropriate, rude, unpleasant, disturbing and offensive. This type of behavior tends to hurt others and cause stress but will make you the model employee. When tasked with an assignment act as though you are giving birth.... shortness of breath,  signs of pelvic heaviness/discomfort, act as though you have a back ache or an upset stomach, cramping or tightening or simply get up to use the bathroom several times. The community members are familiar with this reaction and will respond by leaving our trying again at a later date.  You do not want to show a sudden burst of energy coupled with the desire to clean organize or prepare if that occurs we might actually think you are pregnant. If you are able to commit to this type of work ethic you will have a long, prosperous career with us at Island Cove. 

Fresh Start

We got a taste of what a winter with COVID-19 would be like during the summer months with masks, hand sanitizer, lockdowns, and widespread fear. After a summer that, for some, was filled with cooking out on the deck, park hangouts, and socially distant walks, we are now deep in the middle of a bleak winter. It'd certainly be better to hibernate through the whole damn thing, or spend it at Island Cove.... boating, swimming in the pool, fishing,  playing pickleball and our favorite past time....boozing it up!!!! When we look back on 2020, the year of Covid, of quarantine, of unemployment, of closed schools, of shuttered restaurants and non-stop election madness... the equivalent of a 9/11 every 24 hours, we can only be thankful the new year has arrived.
