long day, yummy night

work was non-stop today as i was doing the work of six directors and managers and then some... i just humped from task to task and didn't even realize the day was zipping past without eating or drinking until it was past dinner time... much was done, still more to do, and it will be a while before i have all of my directors and managers in place again as two positions were eliminated and my DON is resigning and my nurse manager and administrative coordinator is starting next week so training time must be made... so much paperwork, so many things that need to be done beyond the paperwork, and more... changing a very ingrained culture of laziness and privilege takes time and recently the resistance to change has become retaliatory as lies and allegations that are meant to get good people fired are starting to appear in strange ways... anonymous accusations scanned from the copier... cars keyed... and neglect of clients as a challenge for managers to take action while complaints that management is harassing people are heard by the corporate hierarchy who look at turnover numbers and panic to the point of telling managers to back off and let staff get away with the laziness and disrespect of clients that i was hired to stop... we shall see how it turns out as i accept the impotent management requested for a while... i see it as prolonging the inevitable... but numbers matter more than people even in an organization that believes it does not...

so home two hours later than intended, but still in time to take jackson out for her celebratory dinner for passing her licensing board exam... bayridge sushi is a taste of my home town here in orlando (as is pickles deli, both of which are within a mile of where i live, which helps me love this place), though the reviewer linked does not seem to like sushi much... it's not the greatest sushi place in the world, but it's usually very good... and tonight, it was very good... yummy... the bottle of plum wine helped too... and dessert was jeremiah's gelato... and jackson immortalized us on facebook as usual... and yay for celebrations... and sleepiness now...

nite nite :)
