How is my job going?
As I said in my earlier posts, my bosses love me and I love the job.
When my mother was failing, my bosses said if, at any time, I needed to drop things and leave, to just leave, they'd work things out.
When my mother passed, my immediate boss and her husband drove 70 miles round trip to attend the Viewing.
If that wasn't a sign of how good these people are, later at the same viewing, I nearly fell to the floor when one of the doctors I support showed up! :o He came over to me, we stood in front of my mothers casket, and he held my hand the entire time, letting me talk, I told him what the doctors had told us (he's a doctor, anything I had a question on, he was able to answer), he literally walked around and spoke with my family members. When I told him how little time I had off for bereavement, he instantly offered to write me a sick note ("I'm licensed to practice medicine in the state of Texas, I can write you whatever you want."). The man's bedside manner is superb. It isn't any wonder at all that he's been named one of the best pedi doctors in the state of Texas for two years. My boss though tells me this isn't his professionalism showing, he truly is sincere in his actions.
At the funeral, my immediate boss came for the service. Needless to say, my department sent flowers, everyone signed a sympathy card for me.
Remember, I just started working at this place and just met these people in the first week in February.
Did I get so much as an e-mail from the place I used to work? Where I worked nearly 12 years? Nope. >:(
When I got back from leave, my other doctor came to my desk and gave me roses from her own garden. Both doctors stopped as often as they could just to see how I was doing.
Ten days later, the same doctor who came to my mother's funeral, called me from out of the country where he was attending a conference just to ask me how I was doing and spent 20 minutes on the phone talking with me. This doctor still finds time to check in with me to see how I am doing. My immediate boss told me he's never done that for any of his other assistants - even when they weren't in a bad way.
Today, I couldn't be prouder of where I work. The PA system crackled and a voice called out,
"CODE Pink"
By the time I looked at my security card to find out what that was, the PA was going on
"Missing child, age 6..."
At the exact same time, I heard doors being thrown open, the sound of feet running and voices,
"Where's so-and-so?"
"She's checking the other hall."
"OK, I'll head for the west corridor."
"I'll take this hall."
"X is already headed for the clinic area...Y is checking the fire escape"
The reaction to a missing child is for people to drop what they're doing and fan out to search the entire floor FAST and they do it with deadly seriousness.
I love my job and the people here. :-*
