Day Three...! (For want of a better title!)

Back at work today but managed a few NaNo words on break... Of course, I'm on break now as I write this! Honest!

Came back from a few days off to a hoarde of emails again. I have no idea how we used to communicate throughout the hospital before email. Everything nowadays ain't happening unless it's emailed. yes, it's good to have that record of who said what and when but it can go a little too far... I've caught myself about to email someone who's sitting in an office ten meters from the ward entrance! Crazy!

Perhaps we've dehumanised communication. It's easier to say something when you're not face to face? I sent some rather damning feedback on a training course to a fearsome individual by email last week. I doubt I'd have been so daring face to face. Of course, I'm still going to have to stand in front of her again some day and deal with whatever she throws my way but the safety of my office can blind me from that kind of thought.

I do have a telephone next to me but even then, half the time we're so tied up with actually work that we can't answer the phone... I've left three messages on answerphones so far today and one of those I re-iterated by email shortly afterwards! Information overload?

Anyway, gotta get back to work... need to make some posters for charity collections - Children In need & a (No)Christmas card appeal...!
