Speeding by..

Life is speeding by these days. My friend, Pat, has her last day at Arc today. People that you just did not expect to be so emotionally impacted are and others are only concerned with how her leaving affects them personally.
My brain was on overdrive last night so getting to sleep was difficult and staying asleep was too! Even this morning I woke with ideas running through my head about my weak nurse and how am I going to achieve this or that, things that need to be shifted to others in my absence. The people in the ivory tower (main administration) only care about the Medi-Cal part of my job. They don't care that one nurse just doesn't understand how to update her orders. She just follows whatever the physician writes, it's a Philapino thing. She can't teach either and she never listens.
Whenever I get sentimental about leaving Arc I just look at the fact that the administration there is a bunch or idiots and that Pat and I deserve a life that goes beyond putting our fingers in the holes. Regional Center will protect the guys in our absence, so will licensing. I have to say that this last hiring of the boy toy in accounting was probably the last straw. He is getting $50k/annual, has no degree and is just starting accounting classes. My REGISTERED NURSES with degrees and licenses (who care for peoples health and welfare) are paid $56k, I get $60k with 16 years experience in the field. Screw Arc, I deserve better. I can't wait to sleep with a clear mind.
