Good Employees

Is there just a shortage of good employees/hard workers out there? I mean, when did it become okay to show up for a job interview in jeans or a t-shirt or a baseball hat? When did "that isn't my job" become an acceptable thing to say to your boss? I have witnessed all of these thing lately. I guess I was just lucky to have parents that taught me common sense and instilled a good work ethic into me. Seems these days common sense is an endangered trait, if not an extinct one. So sad, so frustrating, so ridiculous that we accept this behaviour and the standards just keep on dropping.

The Columbia Flu

Sorry I have been absent a while, but I am just now trying to get back to the land of the living. I am one of the many affected by the flu that is going around Columbia at this time. My husband was nice enough to bring it home from campus and share it with me! That was the worst flu I have ever had. I actually had to miss work for several days and I am still dragging. I usually call all of my clients the day after they have an appointment to check on them, but since my voice doesn't work so well I am trying not to speak at all. As a result, I feel very out of the loop and wish there was a better way for me to find out how all my patients were doing. I am continuing to rest, drink lots of fluids, and try to get better. I can't wait to be back to normal. For everyone out there suffering right now, it does get better. This flu makes you feel like you want to die, but it doesn't kill you. I am living proof!
