I hope it's true...

I know it's a fleeting thought, but the first day of spring is March 20th this year.

For a brief moment, we had reprieve today. It was GLORIOUS! I escaped to the acute unit of the Hotel today, and warts and all, it's getting off to a nice start, despite the rough beginnings when it opened.

Happy Friday to all, wherever you are.

Wild Friday

Yes, I'm so, so glad this week is over. My Friday was really, really weird and probably just the culmination of an extraordinary week.

Besides all the brouhaha of the new digs opening, one of our nurses, who works the home health side had to call an ambulance for herself from a patient's home this week. We still don't know what happened to her.

The boss's boss came over to inspect again. S/he's just so friendly--only talks to the people she wants to. I've given up doing anything but speaking when spoken to. Why bother when s/he doesn't acknowledge you anyway?

And on top of this, my sibling who was coming to town got delayed and so did our hospitalized relative who was supposed to be discharging this week. Logistical nightmare trying to get him/her home caused a problem that could not be resolved until Monday. I personally don't believe it was all logistics, but then again, just call me a cynic.

I know a long weekend when I see one, so I'm taking one, myself.

Stay tuned...it should be a fun weekend.

Friends don't let friends...

Sleep in and miss an opportunity to pick a group for their grad class. We weren't doing this, but at 0330 you'd have sworn we were!

Thanks P for the quickie update on groups, and yes, K., thanks for waking up in a good humor when I called so we could all register for the same group.

No worries about class crazies this semester! Hooray!

Be careful

What you wish for, because you just might get it.

Oh, I got it today all right. Our hospital network Big Cheese said at our meeting, "Sure. You get a desk and your own office and all the admin stuff done you asked for. I'll take care of it."

"So can you open that clinic by the end of the month?"

WT...I think my mouth was open so wide I could have had a whole lot of flies coming on in.

Thankfully, Bob, our clinic manager (and my orienting RN) pinched me and said to BC, "Sure. We'll get it done."

No more daydreaming, because it's off to work on the finest clinic in the SU of RehabLand. I'm gonna need a whole lot more coffee...stay tuned.
