Drought

I feel like I should be posting more here, but I'm having a bit of a drought. Here in RehabLand, we actually had too much rain earlier in the year, and now, despite the little we've had recently, the weather powers that be tell us, it's back to drought.

I'd like to say "WT..." but of course, propriety gets the better of me.

Work sometimes seems like a drought with the occasional downpour, too. One minute: it's all hands on deck, and by the way, we may not be able to support that new process we told you to start in June. "Really?" I say. "And are you schizophrenic?" is what I really, in my heart of hearts want to ask these myopic individuals, but I don't.

However, I have learned to open my mouth when someone cares to hear. Fortunately, in the last version of the Seinfeld meeting (aka about nothing, but should be) it shined a light on what's really happening: they don't want to support this, because they are spending money somewhere else. Call it a cost center, call it whatever you like, but it's a shell game I've seen before in my other life.

It's total BS. Pure and simple.

Nevertheless, I'm still pondering where RehabRN 2.1 might show up. I met one of my mentors for drinks to do a little networking (and just a tad of soul searching) with someone safe. I'm investigating an area that touches on rehab, occupational health and legal nursing. I just have to prep myself to get into those shoes.

Where I go, is up to me. I keep moving forward, even if I'm in the same place. Time marches on.

Hope you enjoy your weekend of working, or even, soul searching. Life's too short not to savor every moment.

Until next time...
