coasting in neutral

the news about rockwell is still upsetting.  carol spoke to him yesterday and he said - don't work hard.  don't try to do a good job - they'll just turn on you.  i'm worried about him...he's brittle and delicate right now.

and in the same breath, carol wants me to work some overtime with her, and frankly, i don't mind. the only thing is, my comp time won't go over into month.  i would have to leave early on fridays, and if i work an hour over every day...that would mean leaving at 11 at the end of the week.  OR - if the overtime was approved, i would get money!  that's even better...or i could roll the time over into sick time. that's like money in the bank. pity i can't put it on vacation.

one thing hoke taught me was to shift into another gear.  neutral.  it's almost like being outside of yourself - autopilot? - and doing everything that needs doing.  with national commission coming and the mess we have this time around, that could come in handy. we don't have a hospital administrator at this time.  our superintendent is new. the nursing staff...mostly new.  there are few long timers left who know how to prepare for the accreditation inspection.  and now we don't have a clinical social worker.  i don't think we'll be chosen hospital of the year this time.
