Know What I Love... and Hate?

So, for those of you who don't know me, I manage a large dental office with about 17 women. Probably nuff said, right?

 Most days there are a handful of them that are in full on "selfish mode" meaning... kiss my a-- because no one matters but me and what I want!! Which is not good for a business that relies on patients who return and refer their friends and family because they love the service we provide... It's at this point that I want to start firing people! Why is it that people think they should have the right to come in an spread their nasty attitude to staff and patients? It's a cancer, and if I had my way I'd fire 6 of them tomorrow. They are not bad everyday but what makes it worse is that they are unpredictable from day to day. Not all of them have a bad attitude, some I'd fire some just because they are not good at their jobs, sad but true. Some I would fire because they aren't team players, they are out for themselves- be gone!

But then there's this one employee, she is willing to do whatever you ask.... and above all, she does it with a smile. She always has a smile on her face, even when she doesn't feel like smiling. She always has a kind word for our staff and our patients, even when someone has just chewed her out. She makes my day! I want a whole office full of women like her.

People, just fake it until you make it, cry in your car all the way to work and all the way home if you must, bite your tongue until it bleeds but keep your issues in check and don't bring them to work.

Now I'm Irritated!

Enough already about breast cancer, I get it! I get that for every woman who dies to breast cancer, 10 die to heart disease, that is what I get! My question is, does this country really care about women, or just our breasts? Or, perhaps the ugly truth is really that the breast is the "sexy cause" and heart disease is basically just not all that attractive? I firmly believe that breast cancer is tragic and that many women and their families have been devastated by this cancer, and I'm thankful that the women in my family have not had to go through it, but several had heart disease! Just sayin' that there are so many other tragic diseases that deserve equal time. When will some of these other cancers be as important as the " breast"?

I'm not a football fan, but it's on in my house all the time now. What the heck is with the NFL??? Really, these guys are all wearing pink, pink bands, pink shoes, pink caps! The money that was spent on this makes me sick, the NFL should have just given all that money to cancer research. But the truth is that they want some sort of accolade for being so sensitive to the plight of breast cancer, trust me, breast cancer did not need that exposure..... we're pretty much saturated with their " awareness" program!

FYI- Every 15 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer, just to compare- in Africa alone, someone dies every 15 seconds to malaria, which is 100% curable.Who's talking about this? No body!

Never, never, never give up.
