Still bouncing back and forth between day shift and evenings at work. Not terribly happy about that, as I was told I was replacing another nurse who was retiring. She retired week before last and I am still bouncing.
Now I am being told they had to hire someone else for the morning shift. They fired a nurse not long ago for charting on a patient who had disappeared. Then found at a hotel, drunk. He had charted on her as if she were there. New nurse orienting today but he is supposed to be PRN (as needed). He also has another job. So not sure how that will play out.
I am happier and more settled in at this job than I was for a while. Though I am considering some offers I am getting. At this point, I am more concerned with the money from the bonus and the fact that I may be able to transfer to another facility in AL when I move. Though I do not have any emotional ties to the people I work with. That's not me. It definitely is them.
Daughter sent me a Galileo thermometer for Christmas. Her mother sent me a Da Vinci clock kit. Hmm. Guess that tells me what image I have with them. Yeah, it fits.
They are still not getting out to do or see much there. Damn. I'm an introvert but when I move to a new place I get out and see the sights, meet people, etc. I have really been the worst about introversion since moving here and that's because of the social structure here.
Couple of the neighbors gave me some small gifts for Christmas. I had thought of making sweet rolls or cookies to give people but I have been too tired, too busy, too apathetic about Christmas this year. Too emotionally distanced by being left on the ground bleeding and actively assaulted. I know that was not all of them but it sure feels that way. To be honest, when they dropped off their gifts, each one looked embarrassed, sheepish. Maybe I should take that as a hint that more people witnessed the situation than I originally thought.
Nobody ever checked on me. Not once.
I am continuing my effort online to quell the hate and build a more positive movement. It is resulting in me having to eliminate some people from my "friends" list that will not let go of their need for confrontation and negativity. I want to associate with people on issues. Not hate and anger. I know it's easy to fall into that trap but it's mandatory to escape it. We cannot accomplish anything by keeping this country divided as it is.
