WHO ARE YOU?? - "P"

Hello there, Lovebugs! It's your girl Mackgurl here with another installment of my WHO ARE YOU? series. Today's guest is "P". She has agreed to let us take a quick peak into well, who she is and what she does.

Mackgurl: Hi P. Thank you so much for agreeing to sit with me today and for letting the Blogosphere take a peak into your life.
P: My pleasure.
Mackgurl: So P, tell us a bit about what you do...for work...I mean if you want to give us the 411 on some stuff you do in your free time, I'm happy to hear it LOL
P:  LOL hmmm well, I have been working in the medical field for about 15 years now and my current job title is Patient Navigation Associate. 
Mackgurl: Oooh so you're like a human GPS for patients.
P: LOL I never thought about it like that but yes, I suppose so. I meet and greet patients and visitors in a kind and compassionate manner. I assist them physically -  if they are in need of wheelchair assistance - and verbally with directions to their appointment locations, department or even where to go for coffee and food.
Mackgurl: WOW! So you're the lady with ALL the answers. Good stuff!
P: HAHA I don't know if I would say ALL of the answers but I will definitely do my best to make sure you get the most accurate information needed. I also train and work with our volunteers to ensure they are familiar with and current on procedures and policies. A key part of this is to make sure they are comfortable with talking to our patients. Talking to patients and visitors helps to establish a relationship. Even this brief connection is a great way to provide excellent customer service.
Mackgurl:  You're right! That does make for A-1 customer service. Your job sounds like an important one - tell me, what do you like most about what you do?
P: I would say meeting new people and providing assistance to those in need. I love to put a smile on someone's face.
Mackgurl: I know the feeling lol. Ok now would you say there's anything that you don't like about what you do? 
P: Hmm...nothing much about WHAT I do but maybe WHEN I do... for instance working on weekends and holidays. You don't know for sure when or if you're going to get a break. I understand though - patient care does not stick to a regular schedule.
Mackgurl: True true...Well thank you so muchfor taking the a quick moment to speak with me today and for letting us get a glimpse of what you do.
P: It was my pleasure, Mackgurl.
Mackgurl: Before I really let you go back to patient GPSing, lol...I have to ask you my favorite question of all of the questions -  WHO ARE YOU?
P:  I am a mother of 3 kids that I love so much. I'm a wife who enjoys being married and has been married for about 13 years now. I am a baker, a sister,  a singer, a dancer. I enjoy dressing up and changing my look from time to time. I am a church-going woman, a woman who enjoys helping those in need. I am a woman who loves life.

And just like that, guys and dolls, another installment of  my WHO ARE YOU? series is complete. If you are interested in letting us know about you, what you do, what makes you, well YOU, send me and email. I'm looking forward to asking you, WHO ARE YOU?

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Deal Me In

A while back, I posted about being held hostage. See, that article was about...well I don't want to go into too much detail in case you haven't had a chance to read it yet (hint hint). Suffice it to say it was about being in a situation you'd rather not be in. Maybe you've been super fortunate not to have found yourself in a situation like that...until now. And who is your hostage taker? Say hello to COVID-19...UGH!  This virus has spread so rapidly and doesn't discriminate - everyone is a potential victim or carrier/transmitter. The best way to slow down what has become a pandemic is to limit exposure. To what? Well basically PEOPLE! Schools are closed, most businesses are closed - unless they are essential (hospitals, supermarkets, pharmacies...) restaurants are open but only for takeout or delivery. No movie theater, no malls, no parties. WE are basically on restriction! House arrest without the ankle monitors... If you're married/partnered - ok so maybe ...
