Recognition

A tidbit from today's team meeting at work...

It's been odd, being back to work and having another entire Microbiology department sharing our space. And, that space is now at a premium. Lordy are there a lot of people and cultures! But, this too will abate once Histology/Cytology/Pathology move to the Mercy campus. (Two months is the projected timeline. Oh how I hope.)

But, the part about the recognition...you see, I was the person on our campus who measured, surveyed, planned, and tried to coordinate the move. I went across town, measured their equipment, took copious notes, returned to our space and plotted it all out. Also, tried to anticipate the issues that could arise as well as helped negotiate a phone line that links us transparently to the other campus. Then, with the help of a couple of my teammates, we purged four rooms and moved things around for the final move date.

The move happened when I went on vacation this past week and today, my supervisor acknowledged all the hard work I'd done in front of all of my co-workers. She was more than pleased that everything was essentially in place and that it flowed despite both Shauna and I being on vacation. Oh, there were little gliches, but nothing major. And for now being a week into the merge, we're moving around, readjusting and redefining, and still turning out all the work without issue. Impressive.

For me, it was just nice to be recognized for the kind of thing I do so well. Ok, I'll toot my horn. I'm one kick ass Microbiologist and one hell of an organizer. I just need the motivation. Just ask my kidlet. She'll tell you.

Ok, no resting on my laurels now. I have some organization to get done at home ...
