Mercy

Hello, yes I'm writing in grey. Because that is what I see. I think the sun was out once since we've been here in Bakersfield. And like everywhere else we go, "this is such unusual weather", is all I hear. When we were in Rhode Island an it rained forever...Oh this is so unusual it never rains this much here. When we were in Phoenix and escaped the flood waters oh my it never rains like this here...how unusual. The same thing happened in Columbus and Orlando. I think we'll change our license plate to Rainmkr so you all know when we roll into town the crappy weather is here...at least for the next 3 months.
So, just as I suspected there is nothing in Bakersfield CA. Just work for me. My poor husband is bored to death. I have been working at the "downtown" hospital mostly because they haven't opened the tele unit at the smaller hospital yet. I heard horror stories before I came here...so did everyone else in my orientation group. I figured it couldn't be too bad since there was one person in the group who actually had been here before and was coming back. It's ugly downtown but not horrible. I lived through horrible in Columbus Ohio at Riverside hospital on 6 North...That was horrible. The kind of horrible where you hate to go to work everyday. You go in with the attitude it's going to be a great day and it just never is. When you are happy to float just to see if the rest of the hospital is just as bad. Mercy isn't that bad...But it ain't Phoenix or Orlando. Those were two of my favorite places to work...Besides home that is. I think the smaller hospital, Mercy Southwest will be much better. It's just a whole different attitude over there. They open their unit Wednesday so we'll see what happens.
Here's hoping your weather is better than mine...
