I will start out by saying that anyone in IT should have looked me up by now and they would know. So if you are a new coworker of mine, \u201chowdy\u201d.<\/p>\n
I have been worried about two things: keeping insulin in the workplace \u2013 I already had a pen out because I thought I might be staying over night somewhere, and I routinely rotate my vials.<\/p>\n
That being said, I would like to keep a fresh vial and pen at work. At the school gig, I had a small refrigerator in my room for years. It got old so I just started routinely carrying cold water and refrigerated insulin and that worked well. <\/p>\n
But people, I work in an office attached to the mall! And they give us cold drinks and hot drinks. Just about any flavor you imagine. So I\u2019m dragging water any where?<\/p>\n
And people, I work in an office attached to the mall and I have to get away from people for a while. So yes, I\u2019m eating in the mall. Don\u2019t worry, they know me by name at the Nordstrom\u2019s caf\u00e9. And Starbucks is closer. Bet I\u2019ll find other secret places with stuff I can eat for lunch.<\/p>\n
So, I asked \u2013 can I leave my insulin in the break refrigerator and the person I asked showed me a closer break room. We have a beverage area, a break room on our floor and another break room. However, I\u2019m going to have to share a conference room with 5 other people starting next week. Oh well.<\/p>\n
I also asked, since I have to share a conference room with 5 other people and the cube farm isn\u2019t any more private if it would be okay to use the mother\u2019s room if I had to make an adjustment. She said sure.<\/p>\n
By the way, we have real restrooms with real doors that lock and everything.<\/p>\n
I always feel lucky if there is a door at all, much less one that latches.<\/p>\n
YES, I\u2019ve had to use restrooms that didn\u2019t have doors on the stall.<\/p>\n
So I haven\u2019t looked in the mother\u2019s room yet. But I\u2019m pretty sure that they are a) private, b) lock and c) are sanitary.<\/p>\n
Because I\u2019ve yet to test OR change a set in any one\u2019s restroom. I had a walk in closet in my old classroom that was perfect for that, and there was only a semester or so where I didn\u2019t have access to it.<\/p>\n
I love my job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
