Over the course of the past hour I have convinced myself at different points that I can afford to pay anywhere from $150 to $1,000 on my credit card bill, with stops in between at $200 and $400. I eventually decided on $500 as being a reasonable place to split the difference. Why is my current paycheck still not showing in my bank account?? Argh! *bangs fuzzy head*
Today I had 'training' because I missed something on the x-ray yesterday. Thankfully one of my co-workers (Preacher) saw it. Unfortunately he also wasn't quiet about it. He appologized at the time, saying he hoped he hadn't gotten me in trouble. This morning several of my other co-workers were giving him a hard time about it, in a not-very-friendly way. Apparently some of them (Wibby, in particular) thought he'd puposely been loud about it in order to get me in trouble. I defended Preacher to Wibby, because I don't think he'd do that. Wibby said if the situation happened again Preacher would do the same thing again. I didn't get a chance to respond to Wibby on that. I had the idea in my head (but couldn't put words around it, at the time) that, yes, he might, but that the motivation is not to get somone in trouble. If I'd have said it to Wibby at the time it probably would have come out, "he's just dumb that way," which isn't particularly tactful. What I think is, Preacher gets too wound up and focussed on this thing which has to be accomplished, and forgets to be circumspect. The items needed to be secured and not allowed into the sterile area, so I understand being focussed on doing that. I'd probably do the same thing. So, he yelled "get that bag!" and attracted the attention of the Supervisors present, with the result that I (and another person who was involved) had to be given extra training. I think Wibby is being overprotective of me.
FIL was nice about assigning me extra training - he didn't make it feel like I was being punished, as so many people have done in the past (to me and to everyone else), so I didn't feel upset about that. Just upset that I screwed up. Which is much more appropriate to the situation than feeling pissed because you got caught screwing up. Punishing people when they make mistakes doesn't make sense. And yet I'm not sure if he actually handled it differently (from past similar situation) in the steps taken or if it was all in his attitude.
Also, I have a beautiful new umbrella, and I got to use it today.:) It has Van Gogh's "Field of Poppies" on it.:)
And, I have to take the opportunity to squee!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eor got me a huge tomb about different styles in housing, furniture, jewelry, etc. in England during different ages, covering Tudor through Victorian times. *grins happily* What a silly geek I am.:)
