I just hope...

I don't kill my new office mate. Since I forgot to take some stuff into my office before the holidays, I dropped what I needed off. I noticed my helpful coworker moved stuff on my desk. Not because he/she needed to do something near my desk. I think it was "just because".

I admit I have OCD, but when someone moves around stuff on your desk, when essential equipment (i.e. your computer) hasn't even been moved by the IT staff (since most of them took off Friday, too), I get frustrated.

Needless to say, I moved it all back. I'll call my IT guy myself, since I saw my trouble ticket, i.e. the ticket to officially move, was not touched. My neighbor had no PC, either, and we have no connected phones.

This may take some getting used to at first. Thankfully, this person roams to our other clinics.

I'll be counting the days...

Stay tuned.

Clueless

Dear Therapist:

I understand your job is to do therapeutic crafts with patients in your clinic.

I don't appreciate it when you leave said patients unsupervised in the area I'm supposed to work and they make such a mess that it will take another two days of housekeeping to clear the air enough so I can breathe again.

Yes, it is a pain that I'm in this space you claim as your own but it's temporary. You only have 4000 square feet elsewhere plus another 3000 of storage. There's only about 400 square feet here free that I can use due to the junk, er, craft supplies.

Remember nurses take care of the health part of health and wellness in rehab, and if the air's contaminated where I'm supposed to work, I won't be healthy enough to take care of patients.

I'm going to take the high road on this one, but if it gets ugly, I assure you, I'll make sure you don't forget it.

Wishing you many clues,

Sincerely,

RehabRN
