I had no idea there are singles groups on FB! Thanks coconut! It’s weird. I’m a half hour outside NYC. But going into NYC is the hugest pain in the hit. Driving in is expensive. Finding parking is impossible. I. Don’t feel confident woth the busses and trains alone. And it’s just more effort than it’s worth for meet up groups. I how to find more locally. Still a very populated area. And since I’ve joined. I get random messages on the meetup app from men. I’m not digging that. But I’ll totally look into the facebook thing. We cannot say it’s for lack of trying on my part
Today I wanted to quit my job. Seriously. We all did in my department. We have been beyond capacity and then we were supposed to have a meeting to look at work flow to see how we can improve and streamline it so we aren’t so overwhelmed and be more present at the bedside. Well, that went to crap. Our manager had her own agenda and it actually gave us MORE work. Then she proceeded to tell us she has to defend us all the time because our units finds us “unapporachable” which I know is a whole bunch of BS. We all left feeling like no matter what we do, it’s never enough. And lately I am sacrificing my daughter and I haven’t been liking it. So why even try? Why burn myself out into the ground?
Then tonight my partner at work we’re in tied to our unit Christmas party. Which was in my town! Yay!!! My partner had been off all week and I told her what transpired. She was in shock. We were taking about to with our unit and they said they had never felt so comfortable with us as case managers and that we totally approachable and one nurse called us “lifesavers” . We are probably the only unit where the nurses come and hang out in our office or come to openly discuss. Cases.
Well, we had the best time At our party. It was nice to actually go to a holiday party again. We had a very fun white elephant. Drank wine, ate, had so many laughs.
Talk about online dating. My coworker who is dating the guy who had messaged me though online dating brought her Bf. He was married to Someone I knew growing up but they recently divorced. When he messaged me through OLD I actually said “ aren’t you married to so and so??” Our kids used to dance together too. Not long after he messaged me He started dating the coworker.
Anyways. I’m going to try to go into work woth a good attitudes but the more I think about it...... my daughter is at an age where I can go back to bedside nursing. I can do the 12.5 hour shifts and she can be ok. I’m thinking my time is coming to perhaps to go back to that. I always said I would when she got older. Something to consider. Because I’m going to burn out hard if this doesn’t get any better
