Is this the sign of things to come?

I had an interesting conversation with my coworker's boss (who's really my boss's boss) recently.

I got to tell he/she about the latest tribulations trying to make things work. He/she listened, then mentioned how I have no appropriate training.

What I wanted to say:

"Yes, remember that quality training I took last year? That's how I got qualified to lead a quality improvement project? I've taken this training five years ago, too."

"Your quality person? He/she's not been trained."

"Would you like to tell the Hotel boss that I can't finish this project?"

Unfortunately, I didn't. I'm stewing...and plotting my escape. Being unappreciated is annoying.

Stay tuned...

RIP Steve Jobs

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren't used to an environment where excellence is expected. ~Steve Jobs

Dear Steve,

I live this quote every day. It's harder some days than others, but in the bureaucracy of the Hotel, every once in a while, someone notices.

Say hello to all those patients in Heaven I took care of just like you. One even called himself your brother. I'm sure he's hanging out somewhere looking for you. "We are all together in transplant", he and another lady told me, no matter what organ it is.

BTW I still really love my iPhone, even if I spent all those years on the Dark Side of computing. Elegant simplicity is, as always, truly stunning.

Godspeed and rest in peace,

RehabRN
