• I got soul but I'm not a soldier!

  
  

  Extremely busy week for me. I have some mad hours this week. Not only did I not take off last week (hahaha), I'm working an extra day this week at Cedars. We're understaffed since 2 of my colleagues have to go for that "sharing is caring" class or something like that. Like I mentioned earlier...this weekend was hard. The lack of sleep caught up with my attiitude today, but the only person getting it was coworker....he kinda deserved it though after a "tiff" this weekend....we are so not on the same page. He text me this weekend (and after our tiff I told him I won't be texting him) but the fool expected me to text back. So of course today, I get the comments..."you don't have time for me...blah blah blah"....i'm so over it.

  
  

  We're cool....I'm just tired of having to try to understand what exactly is his point! In fact we keep "miscommunicating"!! But whatever...he has no time to explain what he means...and vice versa.

  
  

  So I'm all attitude right now cuz people are so LAME sometimes!! First off...I get irked by people who do things half assed! Some might say I'm "anal" with details at work, but I'm just thorough. Today just irked cuz we were understaffed and I got stuck with a busy workload this weekend....and (surprise surprise) I ended up taking care of everything this morning. I don't mind the responsibility, it's just I'm lacking sleep and I need peeps to do their part! For example, I had a gentlemen calling all last week and he was repeatedly told to call back when he had a problem. You know, some people are confused and don't know how to articulate or explain things well. If we all just took the time to LISTEN.  Anyway, it turns out he needed a psych eval (even though he felt there was no mental health problem going on with him) because he's a liver transplant recipient --> so a psych eval was needed (and this was a new program that was incorporated)....we weren't told about it...but guess what, I actually called the damn therapist in charge of these evals and he confirmed it with me and went over the procedures...was that too hard??! NO. But back to today, it was just a busy day...I was irked that I had to do a lot of the "information gathering". Apparently I'm good at it and that's why peeps seem to come to me when it comes to technical matters. Of course it didn't help that we had a Code Grey (violent situation) and a code red (fire drill) one after the other today! Can you believe this??!!

  
  

  I left work with tensed muscles....but I managed to get home and sleep...but here at Northridge, worse BS. Crisis team won't call hospitals so I'm left calling facilities...and my coworker didn't get all necessary information to begin with...you know what, when you have a form...try to fill out everything! Okay...I'm gonna stop ranting cuz it's doing me no good at this time. Yeah improper English too...what you going to do about it??
