10 Hour Work Day

This week has been nuts!

And I feel like all my work will be in vain.

I've got the building filled, but will arrive on Monday with 8 people gone.

That's what you get for having a short-term wing.

Rehab, stop doing such a good job!

But look at our pretty building.

Who wouldn't want to come inside?

Am I the record keeper?

Richmond Beach Rehab has been

AT CAPACITY

meaning

out of our 140 beds, all of them are full...

meaning

we don't have any male OR female beds...

meaning

we don't have any isolation beds either...

and, Wendy,

"unfortunately, I'm unable to accommodate them..."

since Sunday, May 31st.

I've gotten so much done!

YES!!!

work

What's fun about my job is the expressions I hear every day.

My favorite is being called

KIDDO

It's sweet the things that the elderly say on a regular basis. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

"Hey, Honey."

-Heidi

"Woo woo! You are looking gorgeous today!"

-Maggie

"Helloooo. Good afternoon."

[At all times of the day]

- Greg

My New Mantra

Wendy is a jerk

Wendy is mean

Wendy is a jerk

Wendy is so mean

yeah, i'm talkin about the same one

sick

Bleh. I'm sick, but I don't have the fever to keep me home from work. Bleh.

But I did get to partake in the Shrimp Fettucini Alfredo that was prepared by our kitchen for lunch today. Delicious. Soon it will be time to go home, get gyros and veg out to Lost.

This Weekend

It's rainy, which is fine, but I wish it would pour.

I will be working this weekend and next weekend. Here is my todo for this weekend.

Casual Day

And next weekend is Mother's Day, so I'll be working the brunch at our facility.

I think I'll be okay though. All I need is some coffee.

Yeah. That will make it all better.

MARKETING

Yesterday I wanted to die if I had to do another moment of marketing, but today redeemed my faith in marketing.

Look at the cutie batootie invitations that I made for our Annual Mother's Day Brunch.

Wendy, MSW

How is it that her tone and attitude [over the phone] can shatter my confidence at bringing in admissions?

Why does she have to be so mean?

Why must she resort to patronization?

Wendy, you need a vacation!
