Hello everyone
First of all, I want to say that for part of the month, I have been on vacation...a physical vacation. My husband and I took the kids to Disneyworld midApril. This was their spring break. It was lots of fun and lots of work but it was worth it!
Second of all, I have been in a wierd head space. I have a negative attitude. I have a co-worker I can't stand. Our work styles are totally different. I actually have empathy for my patients. Her work style is manic. She charges right in on them no matter what physical state they are in. They can be completely intoxicated or in some stage of acute withdrawal and she does'nt care. She is going to get what she has to do done! I take a little more laid back approach. We have 24 hours to complete a physical. Let the person rest, sleep it off. I will come back in the afternoon. I am getting to the point at times where I cant' stand the sight of this person. I gotta figure out how to accept her because I am not going anywhere and neither is she. I absolutely love my job and I know I make a difference in the lives of people. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I did take some time out for ME today. It was the first time I had done that in a looong time. I went to Barnes and Nobles, bought a frap, sat and read some excerpts from a book called "An Attitude of Gratitude" and decided, ok, girl you need to have an attitude of gratitude no matter what! And I did a little Barnes and Nobles retail therapy and viola! I feel better. I am just going to write out the 4th step prayer for this chick and say it every 5 minutes. How does that sound???
Y'all pray for me. Pray to the Great Spirit!
Hugs! The Phoenix
