hours shmowers

My day went a little like this yesterday...

Note: (keep in mind, I am cutting down to part time hours October 25th for nursing school... and also, this is NOT verbatim)


Nurse Manager: Hey Shandi, when you get a second come talk to me.

Me: Okay.

walk into the office...

Nurse Manager: Okay, Shandi. Dr. "girl" has decided that she would like to only have 1 MA, rather than two.

Me: long pause...

(Reviewing in my mind how I had been told by Dr. "girl" that she would be okay having me work in the mornings, and have someone come in in the afternoon)

more long pause...

Me: Okay... so what will I do for hours?



You get the picture guys. SADDEST DAY EVER. I started crying, yes crying in her office. I felt like a blubbering idiot. My Nurse Manager (who is really sweet) has 15ish hours she can guarantee me right now, but I need 24/week. She has some ideas of possible opportunities but nothing is set in stone yet.

Am I ticked that Dr. "girl" wasn't just upfront and honest to begin with?


yes, to put it mildly.

Do I feel like I got laid off?

Yes.

But I am the one who needed to cut down my hours, and so what can ya do.

Am I kind of freaking out?

YES.
