Praise Report

So yesterday or maybe two days ago I lose track of time on night shift. We were hurrying to get things ready for day shift because they come in at 0615 to check the charts and then our report starts at 0630, so I am ready I got all my charts in front of me and read to go.  So you know ole girl i wrote about a couple of post ago, who just makes my skin boil, she still be having lil smart comments and what not to say out her mouth. Well I am like okay ladies do you want to check charts first or go to report? Well she says "Well thats why we are here at 0615" very matter of factly and sarcastic!! Well I went off, I didn't ask for the smart remark I just asked a simple question do you want to check charts or get report!!! So she is trying to cut me off like LT Reynolds, LT Reynolds!! Now I know i keep going because my boiling point had been reached. Well in retrospect I realize I let my temper and emotions get the best of me, because I was out of line snapping on her in front of the corpsmen (enlisted members) and our dept head walked in on the tail end. But I just snapped.  

Well low and behold I had been praying since I had the run in with her and the starbucks situation. And wouldn't you know she is being transferred to another base in kuwait.. SHE IS LEAVING I will not have to work with her anymore starting like mid September.  TELL ME GOD KNOW S JUST WHAT YOU CAN HANDLE!    But I also realized I was out of line and did pull her aside to apologize for going off on her at the nursing station. I explained to her that her comments are offensive and unnecessary. She admitted with being very sarcastic and understanding how people don't receive it will and may take it personal. I said it may be okay when you are around you homegirls or close friends, but not at work!  So we have an understanding and all is well. LIFE!

Ha haaaaa.. that was a funny story, and knowing you, i could hear the whole thing happening.. its like a movie... this blog is great fun for me.. (sorry at the expense of your military woes.. but its short lived) all i can say is remember to laugh a little and laugh hard... and she does have a point, maybe you are taking things a little to personal. its not that serious and think of all the blessings that you DO have.. like having a great job/career (one that can actually pay the bills, compared to some folks).. i have to remind myself of that everytime i get frustrated with the foolishness at my job.. "Thank you God for a wonderful job. I am so blessed to have one, especially one that I actually enjoy" :) luv ya much!!! (but that story was funny as heck, she needed to be pulled up!)
