Today’s Work Chronicles… I rarely post about my full-time job because, well, I need it. ‘Howsoever’ (as my mother says), at our year-end “Town Hall”, we were encouraged to tell the BlueCross North Carolina (BCNC) story. When people ask how long I’ve been with the company, I typically reply, “It’s the longest relationship I’ve ever… Continue reading 12.18.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… It is typically quite difficult to get anyone to answer on either of the units after 5p. A resident mishandled one of the cordless phones and you could hear numbers being dialed throughout the entire facility. All of sudden, people (who can never be found when hospitals or labs call) from both… Continue reading 12.04.2019

Today’s Work Chronicles… I worked a college resume drive and, in the words of my sister, “I’m in a tizzy.” I am flabbergasted at the lack of preparation, lack of desire, and lack of interest in students creating a resume and receiving feedback from companies who are actively recruiting. Excuses about why they weren’t attending…•They… Continue reading 09.03.2019
