Today was a challenging day at work.  I worked with an assistant whom I don’t normally work with.  She was in training and this is her last week with us.  Nearly every turn presented new opportunities of teachable moments.  I found myself tired at the end of the day and mentally exhausted.  Infection control issues, documentation, communication, expectations.  I wonder if I am being too demanding, having expectations too high, or wanting everyone to think like I do.  I am glad that we are all different and function to work as a team.  Not everyone can be a hand or a foot.  I need the help of our team to function as a complete unit and it works when we do our job for the better of the team.
