Thread: Four days in

My job in a hospital has no access to personal information HIPPA.

I don't care why you are there and it is my job to take care of you.

But if you don' t trust me to know fire me...........

A minor rant and I know by the postings on the door what "probably" is going on.

Ya know, they always compare car driving to airplane riding based on miles but that's bogus cause airplanes travel so fast and cover so many miles. How about we compare the two based on time spent in both. I think the result will be very different.

But the purpose of the trip is miles traveled. Not if it takes 2 hours or 2 weeks to get there.

Indeed!

Had the first death in our area from Covid 19 the other day. Our district has 62 confirmed cases besides the one death. Things are getting real.

Still no reported cases at the home my wife works at thankfully, nor my place of work either.
I am installing a test station for temp taking as staff report for duty though.
Seems my little plastic plant is the last one in our Corporate family of 8 sites across NA that is still in full production, all others have had to shut down or reduce shift capacity due to the virus spread.
Stay safe during this spread men, my little berg of Orangeville seems to be managing right now.
The next few weeks will tell a lot as things start to open up again.

When my Mom was dying of cancer and I was losing it, I remember the nurse telling me that I had to leave the room and take five. He was right and I totally respected him for being firm with me because he was right. It's a thankless job but caregivers deserve more.

Just stole this...

WE ARE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT ...


I heard that we are all in the same boat, but it's not like that. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship could be shipwrecked and mine might not be. Or vice versa.

For some, quarantine is optimal. A moment of reflection, of re-connection, easy in flip flops, with a cocktail or coffee. For others, this is a desperate financial & family crisis.

For some that live alone they're facing endless loneliness. While for others it is peace, rest & time with their mother, father, sons & daughters.

With the $600 weekly increase in unemployment some are bringing in more money to their households than they were working. Others are working more hours for less money due to pay cuts or loss in sales.

Some families of 4 just received $3400 from the stimulus while other families of 4 saw $0.

Some were concerned about getting a certain candy for Easter while others were concerned if there would be enough bread, milk and eggs for the weekend.

Some want to go back to work because they don't qualify for unemployment and are running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine.

Some are home spending 2-3 hours/day helping their child with online schooling while others are spending 2-3 hours/day to educate their children on top of a 10-12 hour workday.

Some have experienced the near death of the virus, some have already lost someone from it and some are not sure if their loved ones are going to make it. Others don't believe this is a big deal.

Some have faith in God and expect miracles during this 2020. Others say the worst is yet to come.

So, friends, we are not in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different.

Each of us will emerge, in our own way, from this storm. It is very important to see beyond what is seen at first glance. Not just looking, actually seeing.

We are all on different ships during this storm experiencing a very different journey.
