Supervisor Help and Lady Redskin Basketball, February 9, 2016

February 9, 2016

The tender mercies for the last couple of days are as follows:

Yesterday, when I arrived at my office job Monday morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see an email from my boss, Sandra Woolstenhulme.   I had had a difficult day on Friday.  I had gone in extra to finish a big project for our Quality Officer and to interview a head housekeeper. I was discouraged by the end.  It was supposed to be my  day off, and the job I was trying to do for Quality – I had no real guidance on how to do it.

I had sent an email to Sandra and Angela B. just telling them about the trouble I was having with the project, and about how hard I was trying.  So, the email from Sandra  on Monday said that she knew someone that would be able to tell me where to get help on the HEN and NHSN – I will know what this is years from now : )

I called the lady.  She is from the state welfare program.  She knew what I was talking about!  She also referred me to two men in the state system who know how to use both reporting systems.  I was so relieved.  They are going to be the resource I need to finish a big job I’m on the brink of finishing.

At the end of the work day on Monday, around 3, when we both get to go home, Sandra asked if I was doing better.  I smiled and said that I had a nice weekend’s rest, and that I had my good attitude back J  She smiled.  I must have looked overwhelmed and sad on Friday, which is not normal for me.  It was a tender mercy to get help and concern.

Nikole enjoyed watching the Shelley High School young men do a half-time dance at the District Championship Game between Teton and Shelley.  They were called “Tanks A Lot”.  They wore white tank tops under their black shirt and pants.  It was really fun and manly and made the crowd go wild.

We all enjoyed watching our Lady Redskins win the District 6 Basketball Championship tonight in Rexburg.  I had the tender mercy of getting out of the Pre and Post Op today at 5:30 instead of 7 or later, like I get sometimes.  I got to be the before 6 am nurse, so that let me go to the game with my family.  So nice.
