Did I disappoint like,
@AstroTurf but make everyone else happy?
Friday was the day I figured out, government ALL government, needs to be privatized. I am not kidding about this, honestly. I mean, it's nice that being nice to each other is a "value" but I wrote an email that like.... NO one in the private sector would have batted an eyelid honestly, and well, really I mean that it was just a summary of events. Like, I got called down to my supervisor who was so busy batting about the bush with "I consider you a valuable team member and nothing has changed and he went on SO long I was like, "UH, is this about that email?"
Then he got on about "Being from the city too" and EVERY fiber of my scrappy little Baltimore (private person) wanted to say then, "Well, since we are both HOOD rats, how about OUT with it Mah BROTHA and we will see where this leads." Anyway instead it wound up being like a big ole "I am so sorry I had no idea anyone would find it offensive, perhaps my sadness and distress over the patient's sadness and distress got the better of me AND AND AND--" Yeah so we ended up sharing a very womanly handshake, initiated by myself.... I have NEVER more in all my born days wanted to call a black dude a "Pu

y because he did not at ALL care about the patient at all, or the outcome, just harmony and not being said to have been incorrect, despite being incorrect. Although he is super caring and all.
I'm cool. I can pretend to be all shiny and happy all day long ,I just have a hard time compromising patient care but if that is what comes of THAT I will be learning to never send an email again and using much more transient like, forms of talking. Etc. Also I am going to have to prioritize me at all times, and to a certain extent, I'm getting older, that is not a bad thing etc.
Sheesh. Privatize it. ALL OF IT. The presidency. If promises are not met .you pay back the contract plus interest.
