I've already talked about this today with a couple of friends of mine but I'm still not too happy about it so I thought I would write about it.
So I'm doing the whole nursing thing with Ethan which is cool and all but its when I'm at work, that is where I've run into problems lately. In the past week or so, the mothers room we have went from being open all the time to being locked for "security reasons". Whatever! Yes, there are other tenants on the 2nd floor but really....who wants to steal a couple of raggedy chairs and an old nasty wool blanket? Not me and I'm sure no one else wants that crap either.
Now we have to call someone in another dept so they can open up the door to let us in. (I think there aren't even a handful of women doing this there I work.) Normally this isn't that bad because I call when the urge hits me and I usually find someone. Well, this week I'm in training (the joy that is!) and I can only do what I need to do during lunch. I came back from lunch with about 20 mins or so which is enough time so I called....but got no one. Evidently everyone else was at lunch too so I was outta gas. I kid you not, I called 5 people and I couldn't reach anyone. At this point, its too late for me to do anything so I emailed my supervisor to see if there is a solution we can come up with so that this doesn't happen again. He in turn sent a email to someone else to see what could be done but basically the answer I got was that the process won't change and I need to call someone in that dept to unlock the door for me every time. This wouldn't be too terribly bad if they weren't almost all men! Do they really need to know my business? As a matter of fact, does ANYONE need to know my business? I should be able to go down there as needed without all of this hassle.
My supervisor (God love him!) is going to see if maybe they can put a key down in the HR office so we can use it when we need to but no bother anyone. That sounds like a great idea to me but its not up to me. :(
Okie dokie....I've vented enough about this. I'll let it go and pray that tomorrow will be a better day and less frustrating!
