Well I win the bet! The gal at work who called off "sick" or what ever the heck she was doing----happily arrived at work today and said Hello to me. The she proceeded to tell me how tired she was while leaning on her cart. Then she asked who took care of her jobs she did not get too. I don't know but I decided she is kinda not worth my time encouraging her to have better work habits. She also needed to hand out clean towels on Monday. Well the towel cart sat there all loaded with clean towels today and she did not seem to mind that she was not doing it. And what was really weird was my boss did not seem to care either. Just plain old weird. I think she spent alot of the day playing around in her office
and planning her lunch. Odd.
Oh well be lazy is the message I feel the boss is sending to everyone in the department. It was kind of discouraging.
ON A BRIGHT SIDE!!!!! I helped a dear old lady today who is very new to our place. Well she got sick and wet the bed. She was so worried and super stressed she was very nervous to ask me for help. When I saw her sorry state....I sprang into actin and got things clean and got her clean. I had to help her to get dressed and that can be very humbling to have someone see you well....naked. I got her back in a fresh bed along with the tv remote and then saw her daughter. She thanked me profusely for helping her mother. It felt so good to know I was really making a difference.
I do not say that with pride...it just feels good to help.... to basically HELP someone in need. To truly make a small deposit in a life. I think at times people where I work forget that is why we are where we are working. Sad but true.
My co-worker must just suck the life out of me.....I can not imagine being so lazy and indifferent about your work. Maybe I am the odd ball.
Be lazy! No one seems to care!

Who knows what drives and doesn't drive others..be proud of yourself and the job that you do. Don't allow others to suck your energy===rather, use it on those who truly need you --like that little old lady.
Hugs to you!

It is so frustrating to see people just standing around talking or whatever, when they are being paid to do a job, and the job really needs to be done.
