Your boss and co-workers make a huge impact on whether you
like, dislike, or love your job. I’ve
had a lot of miscellaneous jobs over the last 10 years of working and seem to
like my bosses and co-workers just fine.
Actually, I can’t think of a boss I haven’t liked working for, though I
can, unfortunately, think of a few co-workers I haven’t liked working
with. Bless their hearts.
Right now, I love my co-workers! And yes, I love my job! Between the super sweet IT guy, the amazingly
helpful receptionists, and the knowledgeable and friendly medical staff, I
can’t decide who takes the cake! We all
have a part to play in giving our patients excellent care; we all know our role
yet are team players and work well together as a whole. A doctor in the clinic even highlighted that
fact just today.
There are numerous examples of how great my co-workers are
from letting me use them as an interpreter so a patient receives dietetic
services to simply laughing and talking about life. Today is a good example: everyone pitched in
to make breakfast possible. We made
waffles! Someone brought eggs and
potatoes, another person brought milk, another brought fruit, and so on and so
forth. It was delicious and fun! :)
My co-workers take me out to lunch, walk or workout with me, tell me life lessons learned, and give me advice. They also let me practice Spanish with them and they ask
for diet advice from me. We talk a lot about food and nutrition, and, although
I am miles away from being the food police (I hope!), they still say things
like, “put that [candy] away! Jessie is
here” or “Not in front of the dietitian!” (while someone pulls out some junk
food). Comments like that are just
funny, but it’s really fun to see and hear about their progress when they make
changes! For example, an MA is stoked
about meeting her goal to not eat as many flamin’ hot Cheetos and a
receptionist beamed to me that she had water instead of a coke.
So, yeah, I love who I work with because they are wonderful
and, thus, make the work environment wonderful.
Hats off to them!!
