Написание профессиональной должностной подготовки (ПДП) идеально подходит под пословицу "семь раз отмерь, один раз отрежь". Но в данном случае это скорее "отмерь раз пятнадцать". Это действительно тяжело, но я справился!
Friday at Last
Work has been good this week. No disasters, no scary moments. I did get a call from a customer (service programmers, like me, are not supposed to get calls directly from customers) but I was able to help the guy and it actually felt pretty good. Nope, this past week was a good week at work.
It was the rest of civilization that blew chunks. My wife and I agreed when we discussed it last night that this week has been the longest six months of our lives.
I need to do something creative this weekend. I NEED TO. Photography. Let’s go out and snap some pictures! Let’s play with the new long lens I bought a few months ago. Let’s play with the 120 film camera I bought a few months ago. Let’s go to the ocean and watch the sunrise and shoot all sorts of good stuff. Of course we should check the weather first… snow and rain today and tomorrow and rain on Sunday. Well you can just bite me, mother nature.
Music it is then! Guitar! I will play guitar this weekend if it kills me! I don’t know if we’re going to have a band practice or not. I’ll post something to our messenger thread later today (when it’s not pre-8:00am so that the other three guys don’t think I am weird and obsessed or anything) and see what’s up. If not then I need to find something else to do.
I do not want this weekend to be spent doom scrolling news sites and reading stories about the collapse of american democracy that will build up inside of me until I have a stroke. No. That would be bad, even if it is more or less inevitable. I must play guitar! I! Must! Play! Guitar!
Except the big industrial unions - the UAW & USWA - capitulated to economic nationalism and blamed "foreign" autos & steel for their demise instead of focusing on how AMERICAN banks and private equity helped build Japan and South Korea's export capacity.

A very young child on the bus is explaining to dad: "You can come with me, and play with my friends during playtime, and you can sit beside me when the teacher gives us lessons, so you don't have to go to work at all, daddy!!"
Problem solved.
This is a well designed piece of research. It finds, unsurprisingly, that better cleaning = fewer hospital acquired infections = reduced costs.
How astonishing that such an argument needs to be made!
If we had more #respect for the #work done by #cleaners the connection between how well resourced they are to do their work, & outcomes for patients & costs to the hospital, would be obvious to all of us. Even hospital administrators.
When cleaning is contracted out & budgeted through line items that are separate from those used for clinical services, perverse incentives are created to ‘economise’ on non-clinical functions to improve a notional bottom line. I would guess something like this is at play here.
As is so often the case, the funding model is the problem. #health #hospitals #cleaning

Work Chat: The podcast that's about more than just your jobWork Chat: The podcast that's about more than just your jobWork Chat is a podcast about the humanity behind and in work. We explore the current state of work, what "modern work" or "the future of work" means, how work came to mean what it does today, what it meant in the past, why work sucks so much today, and how we build a society that celebrate the choices we all make to build, do, and create things with other people, teams, and the relationships we build through them.

Nickel, paradise and 'emancipation': Mining bust creates ghost towns
A billion-dollar bet on nickel mining gave many New Caledonians hopes of economic prosperity and political independence. But after the market turned, the mine has left behind a ghost town full of broken hearts.

While wandering the office, looking for an open sink to wash my hands after my lunch, here at #work, I made it a little personal custom to walk up next to the common-area hallway anti-#COVID air filter unit and give it a shin-check, which kept it firmly plugged into the wall plug. Making sure that the air filters we had were always plugged in and functioning. So I noticed just now, and then wandered throughout the entire property, all of the filters are gone. Okay. #BadMove #Consequences
Whether we value what we do depends, in part, on whether we've done it. Sounds kinda nutty, but this paradox explains how we evaluate a challenging task based on the prospective payoff, and what might seem not worth doing before we do it can then seem worthwhile afterward. What? Let's let these two psychologists unravel it all.
