While I was at work on Tuesday night the absolutely most fun thing happened. A gigantic pipe broke right near the new building. I happened to have my camera because I was there taking pictures of Halloween decorations. Somebody called and said,”You’re the supervisor go do something.” So I went out and asked the maintenance guys if they had called X and they said yeah we are waiting for X. I was a bit worried because the parking lot where patients and staff is adjacent to where the leak spurted up and had potential for problems if the water show went on for a long time, when I mentioned that they all looked at me as if it had never occurred to them. However, X arrived and it got taken care of.
One thing I have learned as a supervisor ( and I am very much a small fish) is how much time you spend pointing out the obvious to people. Gee, if it is broken maybe we should call somebody to fix it. Well, if you are sick I suppose you won’t be coming into work. They haven’t fired me yet so I guess pointing out the obvious is considered a leadership skill.
Nostalgic music from my youth…
