Caught the Bug

Methcillin-resistant staph aureus - aka MRSA. Yep. Got it. It cropped up on the sixth day of my second honeymoon and has been plaguing me ever since. I've been off work since it was cultured on the 17th. Two courses of antibiotics, a rather painfully botched attempt to lance the abscess, and two weeks later, it's still hard, swollen and occasionally painful.

Midterm Eval

I spoke with Mrs. Farra today about my midterm evaluation. She thinks I'm doing very well, but she had some interesting feedback for me. Basically, she thinks I'm too outwardly critical of the other staff sometimes. I have high standards for myself and it's really difficult for me to expect less of others, but I can see her point. I need to figure out how to maintain my own high standards without giving others the impression that I am judgmental or critical of their behaviors, unless it is absolutely indicated.
