Attitude

So I have been complaining about work a lot lately. I think we all wish that our jobs could be better. Always looking for the perfect place to work, with perfect people, perfect surrounding, perfect hours, etc.
I've had to change my attitude and be thankful that I have a job...lots of people don't. Not only do I have a job, it's a good job. I have many perks that most don't. Here are a few...

I am able to just work on Friday and Saturday nights.
By working only those two nights, I am able to have full-time benefits for my family.
I am also able to provide for our family, pay bills, and put food on the table.
I am able to change my schedule if I need one of those nights off.
I can also come in early or leave early if needed.
I can usually work anytime during the week for a few hours of over time.
I get to wear on comfortable scrubs, tennies, and throw my hair in a ponytail.

I also actually enjoy what I do. There are nights when I hate my job. But on those nights...I remember my new attitude of gratitude.

However, I do look forward to retirement. It's only 149 days away. I look forward to regular sleep and not looking into sad faces as I leave for work.

(most of you who know me know that I could never retire...but it's still nice to think about)

So my challenge to you...be thankful for the job you have!!!

How long have you been married?

So I took care of a patient tonight who was 92. His wife was by his side. I love to ask these "old timers" how long they have been married....his reply "72 years". My next question is always...do you have a secret. His wife replied...


"He was gone a lot!"
(and it is true, he was a pilot)

Love it and hey, it worked for them :)
