Well interesting nights at work. Not so busy but lots of politics some strange subinvestigation going on into bullying in our workplace sort of focused on one particular person or maybe not. She is mates with the hierarchy so we dont think anything will happen. There are people on stress leave because of her and one court case over bullying that was won against her. She used to work on our ward but she is in another area now thank god. I was one of her targets for some reason she moved me off my usual shifts and onto weekdays, no penalty rates then had me rotated around everywhere told me that it wasnt her who was responsible. Someone printed off an article on psychopaths in the workplace, this person fitted all the criteria. The interesting thing is it says if you are targeted by them you may as well find another job which i will be doing if she ever crosses my path again. It also says you are left "cold cynical bitter and almost unable to function." Lucky I couldnt give a shit about nursing by then anyway and she oddly protected me from herself by getting me moved. Anyway nursing is full of those nutters and they are usually in charge but they put the knife in each other more than anyone. They dont like night duty no glory in that so I just stay in the dark. Don Juan calls these people the petty dictators he says they are gifts to a warrior because a warrior can temper themselves in the battles with them. So there you go.
It was a bit of a mad night with patients as well. They were really kind of sweet one had the family wheelchair with her but the tyres were flat.
Got to do some aquarobics in the am and wash away all these crazies thank goodness they work full time thru there are some golfers.......
