The bitter and the sweet
So many things fit that description this week. Retirements and births in our little neck of the woods in RehabLand.
And I finally got the promotion I've been working on for the last three years. Sweet! Bitter: the attitude of the woman in HR who was supposed to answer my questions about it. (I wish SHE were on that retirement list...she needs something!) However, I was sweet in thanking her for her diatribe.
It doesn't matter when I get it, I know it's on the way...FINALLY!

A sweet surprise
One of my coworkers made me this treat for helping him/her with BSN homework. The RehabRN household gives it a two thumbs up.
And in honor of Tax Day, and in honor of the not one, not two, but three call-ins on night shift, yours truly gets to go into work at O'Dark 30 and escape at noon.
Just in time to pay the taxes...

Bittersweet
Coming back to the Hotel made me feel that way yesterday.
Bitter: Oh, the boss was bitter and it was obvious. We had a meeting and he/she was really going. Never saw a boss quite as shaken as that. And...we're getting Press-Ganeys...what joy!
The lecture is a no-brainer, but unfortunately, the people who need to hear it were absent for one reason or another. Maybe he/she should send them an e-mail so they can read about it.
Thankfully, while my boss was perturbed, he/she was nothing like my team mate's boss. Said boss is in proceedings to get her fired for a trumped up charge and is playing the hellion with the rest of the staff. Note: this is a brand new nurse manager. Said NM was told that he/she had to be a manager to get advanced to the next level. Nothing like breaking the troops once they're under your command. Mutiny, anyone?
Sweet: Got to see that some of our long-term patients went home. Got to talk to people getting ready to go home who are absolutely excited. Three to four people will be leaving the Hotel in the next four days. Sure, we'll get more, but we'll just have to wait and see.
My classes finished. Hooray! All assignments and evaluations complete, which now leaves me time to pursue other fun things like writing, housework and redecorating.
More later...
