I was a tad surprised when I left the house this morning. It was actually a beautiful morning! I guess I just imagine that all Monday's should fit my general yucky I don't wanna go to work mood but this one didn't. The sun was sparkling on the lake and there was a warm lake breeze. I did take a moment to enjoy but then it was "get to work".
I was dreading getting to my office, I must say. I know I left Friday with an enormous stack of paperwork sitting on my desk. I managed to put it out of mind all weekend but here it was, just waiting silently, for my return. So today, I have a ton of stuff to get done. Part of my job is to proof read every single care plan that my teams do for their cases. I get about 25 of them each day so they tend to add up if I don't get to them right away. I'll be "red penning" these for a while. Not the nicest way to spend a beautiful day like this.
Also, we are getting new carpet on one side of our building here. Not the side I'm on though. But that means that everyone over on that side has to temporarily relocate their stuff until the job's done. Since I have a bigger office some of them will be moving into my space for a time. Today is the beginning of moving week so people will be in and out of here all day. That should make proof reading impossible! LOL
I've got some new peeps starting this week too. I have no idea where they'll be located. Space is at a premium here. We have four or five people to an office now and the size of those offices doesn't make for comfortable quarters for that many people. We also have a limited number of phone and computer hook ups. The last person I hired didn't have a phone or computer for almost a month! And, being a non-profit organization, we rely on the kindness of strangers so our office gear (chairs, desks, etc) leaves something to be desired. That last person? She got a desk that had one bad leg which promptly fell off the second she leaned on it! So, I'll have to run around today trying to come up with some workable floor plan for the newbies.
In spite of it all, it's a great place to work. It really is! I love this job, the people, the place, even the crappy equipment. I don't think I'd know how to act if this place wasn't exactly the way it is. There's something to be said for that!

as someone who just lost their job, it's good to hear someone with a job acknowledge that although their job has it's fault, they are grateful to have it
I can't believe the paperwork fairies didn't clear you desk over the weekend! Maybe now that Tyson is off of Survivor you can put him to work! Hee hee…
