Ok, better get concentrating
Good morning. This is me again. I’m back after not being able to focus my attention. I thought it is a back door, but maybe I can come in this way. Stranger things have happened. First I want to note a few small things and then I want to turn it toward the bigger plan. Basically, how is it that I get something done and what is it. I mean it’s pretty sure something has to happen with CARF, but just what exactly. How am I going to get it done … It’s too big. Or, I’m not showing myself to be too able. This has got to change.Ok, first as to where we are. I’m not sure. I don’t think we’ve been too productive today. I know that we are going through things that have to do with staff. Three people have come in to state some position. One lady seems to be attacking another lady, and another lady seems to be getting all the grief from it, so they eventually all came here. I’m pretty sure that’s ok, but then again it has to stop here with the exception of saying to Sr. that people are getting strange.
The one person who seems to be causing a great deal of the problem has a birthday today and just called to make sure I was going to come in to lunch to celebrate it with the cake. That’s kind of a command performance. I think she’s afraid that no one will be there. I don’t want anyone to need going through that. But, pretty much just to say we have to normalize things – it doesn’t do any good to talk about everything that is going wrong, but in the end I was able to figure that out too.
What Rosa needed more than instructions on how to handle the situation was that she needed to be validated. I think because things have to refocus on Sister that if Sister doesn’t seem to be holding up her end of the bargain by asserting discipline in her staff then we’ve got to figure she’s the problem. The one complaining the most now has gotten the biggest earful, and though she’s tried to go to sister, Sr. has given her a task of recording the events, but pretty much left it to her and is not following through on taking as we said the discipline necessary with the offending staff.
I think Sr. has always had a problem letting staff go and part of that is just business sense. If you let a staff go then there’s the possibility that you have to provide compensation. I think this staff knows it’s time to go, but she wants Sr. to fire her to get the benefits.
I think in the mean time … carrying on with Sr. waiting for the listening party to make her case, then she’s sidestepped her responsibility and it’s causing many to have morale problems.
Hmm, started the printing out of the documents I am going to need for the CIRCLES group. If I have to do lunch with everyone, then I’ll have to have it done or at least running before 11:30 pm.
So as to that other problem with staff – I’m sure that it’s going to come up tomorrow in the administration meeting. It’s the appropriate venue. Maybe then we can advocate that Sr. take it off the hands of the staff. That will be our position at least.
Ok, so then what next. We did work with the new computer a bit in trying to get it compatible with some of the other stuff we’ve got going on. We paid for the Mobile Me.com program so figured we should be using it. Basically, what it does is synchronizes calendars, contacts, and maybe to do list between all my electronics.
So I think it now shows up on my phone, my iPod and three of my computers. It doesn’t show up on the work laptop, because I don’t have Outlook set up on that machine. I do remember getting iTunes prepared for it, but I thought it too boggy.
I had to download iTunes before I could download and install the other program. Everything is a process.
I wish I could be in lunch right now because we’ve got that feeling of wanting to get into something serious. I know we have to be doing the CARF, but it’s a big headache that we’ve been avoiding, because it’s too difficult to concentrate on the level that we have. I think I need to see the bigger project in operational.
Shoot, this was the day too that we left at home the main standards book. It would have been nice to break that down. Over some legitimate tasks that need completing.
Hmm, I think I have the standards typed into the Paper Tiger (PT). Oh Lordy we only have the standards through IB something. I wonder do we have the survey questions?
Oh Lordy we only have that in there through IA. This is then a pickle. Hmm, do we have the survey book here though? AHA! GOLD!
If I come up with something tangible, Sr. will let me escape through that meeting tomorrow unhurt.
