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.

More to come...
