29 Days, Days 2 & 3
Posted by admin on January 22nd, 2010. Filed under: 29 gifts in 29 days.I’m writing this a day late because I worked until 11pm last night and was awfully tired when I got home. Plus, day’s two gift meant I had to go straight to bed.
My gift for day 2 was doing a double shift for today (day 3). Yes, I got paid for it, but I *certainly* didn’t want to do it; especially after working til 11pm, and then having to show up at 7am for a 16 hour shift. Oh, and I have to get up early tomorrow as well to judge a Lego League competition at Georgia Tech. I’m going to crash come Sunday.
As for my gift on Day 3 – working 16 hours has made my brain foggy. I think today’s gift was simply saying some kind words to a new PACU nurse.
I’m still having a hard time distinguishing “doing my job” from “giving” while at work… because so much of my job IS to give to others (namely patients). But this is about going beyond what we normally do, and beyond ourselves, so hopefully as I continue this it will be become more and more clear how to give to others while at work. I think it will be about giving to my co-workers…
