Lift Me Up?

Just arriving at work and spotted a perfectly able bodied member of staff from another ward using the lift to get to the first floor. This is one flight of stairs as this building only has ground and first floor. I also work on the first floor and only ever use the lift when I'm accompanying a patient or wheeling a trolley... This staff member was alone. I think this is wrong for the following reasons:

1. Selfishness - She was using a lift therefore depriving someone less able of doing so at that time.
2. Lazyness - She was perfectly capable of taking the stairs and does not need to conserve her strength.
3. Environmentally unsound - Use of the lifts when not required wastes electricity and the planets resources.
4. Thoughtless - The lifts in this building are mechanically dubious and prone to breakdown. Overuse causes excess wear and tear increasing risk of fault.
5. irritating - It just plain irritaes me!

Am I being over-critical? Quite possibly, it is after all still only just after 7am and I'd rather be in duvet-land still but even when I worked at another hospital, with many more floors, I rarely used the lift for more than the full ground to top floor run... It used to really bug me then when folk used it for single florr journeys up or down...

In other news: Managed to beg, plead and blackmail myself to a better Xmas Duty Rota. I was scheduled to work alternate days on and off from 23rd Dec to 4th January (which would've knackered me and pissed me off, ruining most of the festivities by knowing there was work the following day = no drink to excess!) but am now more comfortable with a four day off stretch Xmas Day to 28th Dec. Am still working Xmas Eve (boo) rather than Boxing Day which was the day I'd offered to work and also working New Years Day, scuppering plans to be away for the New year! I'll not get to see my own family in York until the first weekend in January either. D & I simply don't have enough time off together to get there beforehand! Shifts Suck! Jxx
