If you miss a day or two of work, you are really behind. I missed Tuesday and Wednesday. My older daughter, Jami, was in a motorcycle accident Monday night. She has at least 4 broken bones, a wrenched back, and a strained knee. I was home with her since she couldn't do anything for herself. Those risky behaviors sometimes have a way of getting back at you when you least expect it. Hopefully she will confine her vehicular movement to a car or truck. I am just thankful she was not more seriously injured.
On a more positive note, I work with two wonderful women. They are able to keep this library running like a top with or without me. It is such a pleasure to know that work will not just pile up and up and up. Our teachers are able to continue to have their library classes scheduled; our students see no difference in the running of the library. Things just progress smoothly. I hope that all of you have the chance to work in a situation like ours at Molina. I work with great people who really care what happens not only at work but at home. We each pick up each other's slack and complement each other's weaknesses and strengths. Maybe I am just so glad not to have to be playing Mama nurse. ; )
Hi Hazel,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your daughter; it's really scary to see the ones you love injured. About four years ago, two months before my wedding, my then-fiance was in a very bad accident. Luckily, he wasn't injured, but it was very scary to think that he could have been. I remember missing quite a bit of work not only to make sure he was ok, but to get the insurance, etc. settled. I have been a librarian assistant for almost four years now, and during this time it was my first year, and I had only been at the school for three months. The librarian was the kindest politest woman to me and my future husband, even going as far as to bring me to work until we were able to get a car. It's wonderful to work with caring people.

Hope your daughter is getting along ok. My niece had a motorcycle accident when she was 19 and hasn't been on a motorcycle since. It is wonderful to work with people who you can trust to run things in your absence.
