Patience
Yesterday I had a tiring day at work, very different to the day before but still stressfull. As soon as I walked in the door at 1:20, 5 minutes early, I was needed and from then until 8:30pm, I did not stop. We were short staffed and I ran around all day long trying to get things done. The frustrating thing was, by 3, there were plenty of staff on the ward to do things, but yesterday everyone who was on shift, is what I call an ‘office dweller’ they like to stay in the office and pretend to be busy, when they should be out in the day area with the patients. At one point I went into the office where 3 people were sitting, one person clearly doing nothing and even though they all out ranked me, I told them to get out of the office, because a patient needed something and I was already dealing with two other things. It is days like these where I come home exhausted and frustrated…and it has nothing to do with the difficult client group that I work with.
It is also because of days like yesterday, that I continue to pray that I get the job that I applied for at World Vision. I think I would really like working 9-5 in an office, even though I always used to think that was not my kind of job, I am beginning to wish for it more and more. I definately need patience to continue working in my job.
