IT'S FRIDAY


Friday is my only scheduled eight to five work day -- Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, all day Friday.  This is a doctors' office.  We work with the 'public.'  That means people.  Many people.  Nutty people.  Cranky people.  People hurting and frantic and worried and sometimes not rational. A LOT of the time not rational.

It is trying to maintain civility when being bombarded with negativity -- from the outside and sometimes from the inside.  Friday's can be nuts.  Going in with a positive attitude is helpful.  sometimes that isn't enough.  Sometimes it is.

Five o'clock does come.  The doors are locked.  The lights go out.  We go home.
