Yesterday at the mine was one of the most stressful days I've had in quite a while. The new person can scan but lacks any and all self confidence. On top of that they are slower than a glacier in the winter at doing the job. The other person I was blessed to work with is just a slow and needs to have everything in a certain fashion or they can't do the job. In the mean time I'm turning and burning just trying to stay ahead of the game.
Today should be about the same with the added benefit of having the student tag along with me every step of the way. Its like having another thumb to deal with in a room full of hammers. The good news is that my co-worker returns tomorrow and the student leaves this month sometime. There really is a God in heaven.
I spoke with one of the CCU nurses yesterday and found out she is in the process of leaving for an office job. This woman has years of experience at nursing and will be taking that too her next job in a doctors office. Given that most of us are either on some form of medication or attending counseling, it is no wonder I see so many new faces filling critical jobs. She said the turning point for her was when she found herself yelling at her children and spouse. This is something she has never done before and did not want her children to have that as a lasting memory of her.
Did I forget to mention that I was exposed to a contagious disease due to a lack of signage and/or communication from the staff? That happened just as our Infection Control people were making the rounds giving everyone a talk on just that. Anyone still want to go the hospital? Anyone at all? No? Neither do I but "at least I have a job".
My final thought is this, once all those people who give out the pills, take the x-rays and give the injections have ejected which of the management/administration types will fill the position? The word is getting out and it is not that this is the Promised Land!
