Well, it's been awhile since I've posted so I figured today was as good as any to give it a shot. May was a busy month for me and June is shaping up to be the same. In May I was named "employee of the month" and given the traditional parking space (which I never used!) and got my name put on a plaque for all to see. I sort of felt like that raised the bar for me.....I would have to work harder now to continue with that reputation of excellence that was bestowed on me. And work harder I have! I have been in and out of the Director of Nursing's office (which I affectionately term "the principal's office") complaining about all the sloppy nursing taking place on all three shifts. I guess my type-A personality is just getting worse and I am becoming more anal about things as I get older. It's getting harder to tolerate things that might not have bothered me so much in the past. I thank my anal-ness (is that a word?) to all the wonderful type-A personalities I worked with at St Thomas for all those years! And speaking of St Thomas ( Ireally did leave my heart there!), those folks may be seeing me once again! I have been doing some job hunting recently and I have an interview with a physician there on Tuesday at 4:00pm. So, all of you reading this....please, please say a small prayer that they offer me this job! I love St Thomas and would never have left there had they not had to downsize. But everything happens for a reason, or so I believe, and I feel I have touched the souls I was sent to touch and now it is time to move on.
