everybody needs someone some of the time

The new unit at work sucks.
It's impossible to do all of the stuff
that has to be done in my shift.
Yesterday I kept thinking "these people are deluded"
if they think one person can manage this unit. Then I felt resentful and thought "just leave. don't put yourself through this again."
Another part of me was thinking I'd find a way to make it work.....to manage it all...........
I've been on the new unit for 3 days..............all three days I've left work without having  all
of my work done..............and it's not crap I can complete the following day...........I let my relief nurse know what I didn't get to in hopes that she would complete those tasks...............but she won't because she's a lazy, sit on your phone for the first hour of her shift texting and face booking lazy bitch........she was complaining last night about how many showers her nurse assistant was scheduled to give last night..........yet her nurse assistant had been sitting at the nurses station, non stop since she arrived at work, for an hour and 15 minutes. So I said to her and her nurse assistant " well she's been sitting there doing nothing for the past hour and a half!" Must be nice to give yourself that luxury............even at the expense of your patients........................................................................I'll get it together someway......................................................I knew it wouldn't be easy...................jsut didn't think it would feel so impossible.........

I've been working on my 26 acts of kindness in honor of the Newtown shooting victims.................more about that later....

I texted my sister a year older last night.
I needed a friend to talk to.
I walked away from all of my friends, at intervals, after my divorce............and then met up with an old acquaintance from my first nursing job........became the best of friends........and he passed away................so while I have work friends, I really don't have close girlfriends anymore. I guess it's a personal choice, weird as it is..................and
I usually just handle things on my own..........just a very private person who finds it difficult to open up to other people......to put myself out there........I talk things through on here some of the time......because this isn't real life, right?............last night I wanted another human being to talk to.I wanted another persons perspective. I wanted to talk to someone I trusted to keep what I had to say confidential and who wouldn't judge me.....................................so I texted my sister a year older. She was in bed because normal people are in bed at that time on a work night.......but..........I was thinking last night was Friday since I am off work today. So it WAS my Friday.   Totally forgot it wasn't her Friday.
I texted her, she called me, we talked............I felt better after getting stuff off my chest, and hearing another persons perspective........thank goodness for sisters...........and that's that....:O)

Boy, it sure is a changing world, isn't it? Terry and I talked about that some while I was out in the boondocks at their place.

They want me to move out there but I won't do that as long as I can help Helen stay in her home.

If that changes then I may move out there and live with those good folks. We can cover each others backs if the shit hits the fan during the time we have left here.

One of his daughters works in the hospital, she worked ten days in a roll because of all the other lazy assholes that work there, then she put her foot down for a couple of days off.

Oh well, she's young, she'll learn.
