Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

[SilverBells]

What would you do if you had a colleague that opened patients’ room windows during inclement weather? For example , the other day it was quite cold, cloudy and rainy and someone had opened up all the windows on one unit.  A similar happening occurred during Winter when it was very snowy out.  In both instances, some of the rooms got very cold, almost to the point of being freezing.  What would you do about a colleague who does things such as this?  In our case, we don’t know who is responsible (yet) but wondering about the best approach should their identity become known

Beautiful, HB. Paved, eh?

My driveway is graveled with grass in the center. It took me the Summer of 1987 loading a half ton of rock per load in my 1968 Ford pickup to rock it the first time. I also put in a culvert and filled in a spillway, using only a shovel and a wheelbarrow, that Summer.

Don't concern yourself with the access to the back of my house, as it's not interesting.

We need to get back on topic. 

Excuse me. I have to go close the window.

Do you have an elephant in the back yard farting too ??????

So on some of the houses I've built in the country, I used crush asphalt. It's the scrapings from the top layer of the road. It goes right over sand, dirt, anything. You don't even need to prepare the soil. Have the trucks dump the loads and have a bulldozer spread it out. The more you drive on it, the harder it gets with compaction. Virtually indestructible and quarter the price of anything else.

Word of advice, don't feed it Mexican food or give it Pepsi ???☠️???

Excellent information, thanks Curious!

Well,  so much for swearing.

 

How did I live to be 64 years old on property that I've owned and worked for 35 years without someone like you, HB, to give me worthless ideas?

I have a fence across the front of my property and I use to hang a chain across the driveway to keep people out, hence the "Leave Deliveries Here" signs. The delivery trucks had to back down the long, long field road as there is no place to turn around. Empathetic for the delivery drivers, I then allowed them to use the circular drive until they stopped ignoring my signs like the salesmen on Secondhand Lions.

 

What!! 

Lions!! 

Do you have a safari going on there ???????? 

I'm half Brit Davey and you might'n know this but they are the funniest people in the world. I could keep this up all day. My dates frequently pee themselves because I'm also very deadpan delivering my jokes ?????

I've met my match.

But it's only a scratch.

And I'll be better as soon as I am able.

Thank goodness that you've returned TriciaJ!

Please allow me to dissect your thread as an example of good communication.

(Shut up, Curious.)

First, you acknowledged the premise by asking a question which had a possible solution. Then, you gave a good rationale for the behavior.

Silver Bells potentiated the discussion through her typical M.O, in that she acknowledged the solution and negated it with a conjunction:

I love it when I find people are, generally predictable, in that it reinforces my perception of reality, but I find it's also repetitive and boring.

But boring is good. "Exciting" is not always fun.

So you're glad I'm back even though I'm boring and predictable?  Did you predict when I'd come back?

Are you now afflicted Tricia? ???

Mexican food and Pepsi is a badddd combination ??????

Have you checked your trunk ???

Could I go back to the driveways a minute? That third was the middle part of a shared driveway. The part that’s all

Ours, up the hill to the right, is crushed clamshells from the fish store with grass in the middle. No fossil fuel components. CaCl is good for counteracting acid rain, too. It looks awesome in the moonlight and you can pick us out in satellite shots really well.

That sounds dangerous HB. What about when the Martians land? They will be able to see your house from space ????

Also what about Tiger King Davey bringing his animals along to eat the grass? ?????

Our cats will protect us from little green men. They’d never get in the cat door. Tigers! Meh, just biiiiiggg kitties.
