Take ownership

Yes, I had to do this in a few different ways lately.

First, my fancy new external hard drive got messed up when I changed a security setting. It looked as if I totally erased the drive. Thankfully, that Windows certification came in handy (haven't used it in a decade, but...) I finally found the page on www.microsoft.com about Taking Ownership of a drive.

My data wasn't gone. It was just hiding (since I didn't have permission to view it). What a relief!

At work, I finally got to the bottom of what happened to my dream job a while ago when I was stuck waiting with one of my coworkers. It was enlightening,  and frankly, nice to hear, that no matter what, I did my best. The other person involved probably was not too happy, either, but I still had my day job.

One of my coworkers mentioned that there was an incident with a patient this weekend. He/she knew because the patient had confided in him/her. Some of our staff are being rather surly. While it's not disruptive yet, it's certainly becoming hostile on the floor at the Hotel.

Since I had a similar issue recently, I sent my coworker to the other team provider. He/she will tell him/her to take ownership, too.

Hostile and/or disruptive behavior is really not welcome in a healing environment.

Hope you will take ownership of your space wherever you are.  You and your patients deserve dignity.

Holiday surprises

Some things you'd rather not get for the first long holiday weekend of the summer.

1. A letter from the corporate attorneys due to a pending investigation.

2. Food poisoning.

2. A speeding ticket (not me, but Dahey did).

At least, I have another day to just hide out under the covers.

More later...
