Working in healthcare was at one time rewarding, challenging, life changing work. Now, each day begins with arguing with myself about the need to go because it is a job and I have bills to pay. With care now being controlled by huge corporations both for profit and non profit alike the bottom line is the bottom line. To use the line from the movie "Top Gun"...Eject, Eject, Eject! These three words scream in my thoughts each day. Sad as it may seem, many of those I work with feel the same only they have no exit plan and therefore simply show up, do the time, clock out only to return and do the same thing the next day. Really makes you want to be in the hospital right?
Having the Tick at home does nothing to help. Last night after announcing how tired they were from working ALL day, they leave to spend the night elsewhere...with a "friend" I suppose. So I get up and fix coffee, unload the dishwasher and make plans to mow and trim the yard that they never did get done.
What makes this bearable is that one day a sign will appear in the yard. Following this happening my happy fanny will throw my things in a pile, bid a found one finger salute to this life and begin anew down south. Oh by the way, Happy Anniversary to ME!
