Pet Peeve

I just got my annal letter from employee health about getting my T.B. shot and F.I.T. test. It was to remind me I have until the end of the month to make an appointment to come in, well this is really nice of them to remind me, but my pet peeve is do they really have to put in bright red coloring that if I don't come in by the end of the month I could be suspended. That just bugs the heck out of me. What am I stupid or something, like I am not going to make an appointment to come in a risk losing my job, I don't think so, I am not a child here Hello!! It also reminds me of a D.O.N. we had that would write these memos and post them at the nurses station. She would capitalize something that she wanted to make sure you understood what she was getting at or she would use exclamation mark not one but three! Use to drive me crazy! Well one day we had a meeting with just person and it was in the morning after work. I was sitting next to nursemom and the D.O.N. had passed out these papers. So what does nursemom do she shows me the exclamation marks and we start cracking up laughing!! Never sit next to nursemom when you have a meeting after work!! Well the D.O.N. wanted to know what was so funny, we just told her oh nothing it is an inside joke!!! ( Notice the exclamation marks)

Another pet peeve I have is work. They want to cut back here and there. Ok I know times are tough and it is everywhere, but patient care give me a break! Everyone is saying the most important thing is taking care of the patients. They want each department to cut back on hours, how do you do that and take care of the patients? I know where they can cut back how about the big CEO not get his big Fat Bonus of 600,000 a year that would surely help don't yeah think!! The mangers who also get these nice bonuses if they cut those that would surely help out to, but do you think they will I highly doubt it! We have been cut so much in our department we are a skeleton crew. We don't get the supplies we used to it is just very on nerving. What about the nurses, nursing assistants, lab tech, x-ray techs and so on they are the people that make the hospital work by taking care of these patients it isn't Mr CEO that is for sure. Is he cutting back his hours? I doubt that to. The thing about him he is probably salary paid so it wouldn't matter if he did cut his hours he would still get the same pay. Where is the justice?

Another thing these other big time CEO's saying how they have lost money on there retirement funds just like "US" give me a break you are still doing fine and you still are rich so don't cry to me about losing money, PLEASE! It isn't like you are hurting like some of these people who are retired and depend on that income they are truly the one's hurting!

Anyway just thought on election day I would share some of my thoughts or pet peeves in hopes that things well turn around and we can breath a little better!
