Back to the Cruise

Well it has been a while since I posted anything here. Not that it really matters, noone ever reads it. There are times when I wish I could write well enough that others would want to read what came out of my mind. Other times I couldn't care less. Anyway the cruise continues on course. I assume it's on course, I haven't run into any road blocks lately.

I have been extremely busy these past few weeks, which is why I haven't been blogging. I have been on my new job now for just over 3 months and I have to admit I didn't think it would be this big of a challenge. I didn't go in with my eyes completely closed mind you. However, I didn't really expect things to be quuite the way they were. There have been many days when I wish I could renegotiate my contract. Then there are other days when I have so many people tell me that I am doing a good job that I think I really am making a difference.

I think most people want to feel as if they are making a difference some where. It's a good feeling to be able to think you are making a difference. People tell me often that things are so much better now that I am there. It really is an ego boost. And believe me right now I could use an ego boost. Several actually. I am actually begining to think it is worth it. I like every one I work with without exception. That is very unusual. I feel very blessed in that aspect. I have a couple of assistants that have been a God send to me. With out those two ladies life could have been a lot worse.

It is also very nice to be involved in a unit that is growing. Being the manager of one of the very few profit centers in a county hospital adds pressure to the position. The growth helps ease that pressure. In this day and age when you are being asked to do more with less it is nice to be able to do more with the same. At least I haven't had to cut any positions. That would really cause problems. So I guess I don't have anything to complain about. I really should feel better now.

Now that brings me to the close of the day. I hope this finds all of you well. Have a great time with your cruise.
