The remodeling at work continues. I think I talked about this back in January. It was supposed to be done by April (the whole project to remodel all 4 in patient psychiatry units - plus Day Treatment as a temporary space). Well, they are still working on Day Treatment. They haven't even started on the other units. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Well recently, they've been working on the Day Treatment area - they are giving us a new reception area. That means that they've cut the current desk in half and have hung white plastic sheeting over the gap. The white plastic has several uses - it keeps us from seeing them work (or not), prevents them from noticing that we can hear them, and keeps them from remembering where my computer is. They've been working a lot right on the other side of the plastic. So from time to time, I get to see their butts as they push up against the plastic. It's not a pleasent sight. One guy wears his jeans so tight I can count the coins in his back pocket. Then there are the times when they try to push their butts through the plastic right where my computer is. This keeps things interesting as I have to watch my computer to keep it from falling off the table it's currently sitting on.
Current rumor has it that the first of the inpatient units is going to move in tomorrow. Then I'll get to deal with the inpatient nurses (who don't seem to understand that I'm not in their comand chain even when we aren't on the same floor) and all the extra traffic that comes with an inpatient unit. And I'll bet they will expect me to know who belongs to the inpatient unit and who doesn't. Boy are they going to be surprised. (They were last time they did this). The rumor also says that our new area will be ready in 2 weeks maximum. Yea, I'm not going to hold my breath.
One week until school starts. Then new stress will enter my life and all this won't seem so bad.
