Cramming in a few more things

It's that time of year, otherwise known as June, the due date month. Due date for presentations and my annual review (which I have to prepare feedback on every year, even if I don't get promoted.)

I have fun doing slide shows. Since we have to have everything we present approved in advance by legal, I have lots of fun. For a long time, I refused to use photos (I'd use free license cartoons, but no pictures). I decided this year that was dumb. For fun, I have added some old home ones with interesting captions. I'm actually in one, so I'm not technically picking on just relatives. And I don't have to ask for permission from anyone, which is helpful.

My annual review, unfortunately, doesn't include pictures. If it did, I could have a lot of fun.

Things I'd take pictures of to put in my review if I could:

1. The ethics consultation (no photo available) part. Can you photograph integrity? Maybe not, but our ethics chair looks like he came out of a film noir. (His photo would be  good in black and white).

2. The associate chief nurse looking befuddled when I explained that her simple project wouldn't be so simple.  It only took her a couple of years for her to believe that I actually knew my job. She thought another manager (who was directly assigned to his/her position with no experience) knew everything.

That look was priceless. I wanted to say "I told you so" but I didn't. Hindsight is 20/20.

3. The pie my coworkers and I bought after a long ride to take care of a patient in his/her home. The famous pie place was on the trip back. I'd have given our driver a gold medal, but it wasn't available.

I guess if they ever make us do a portfolio, I'll have to add more photos.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week wherever you are. Friday will be here soon enough.
