This morning when I woke up I seemed to be in a pretty good mood despite loosing my fleece cap last night either by thief in the night or misplacing it myself (no big deal I can buy a new one). When I began work at 0730 I "hit the ground running", trying to sort out manning issues that were left for me, administrative functions for sickcall in the BAS, Supply issues that needed to be resolved as well as ensuring that all patients that needed to be transported to the hospital were here on time and made it on to their bus. The whole time that I was running around getting things done that I had to do I kept my smile on my face and was very polite to everyone that I encountered. After finishing all of my morning tasks I began to look around the BAS and started to get frustrated (noticing that the entire place was disorganized) and started to clean the patient care areas. While cleaning I started thinking to myself "why is it that I am the only person who puts things back where they belong?" I then walked in to the berthing area to recruit people to help....and just about everyone was gone to the exchange. The two people that were left behind were asleep on their racks. I woke them and asked them to come up front and help clean up (still polite at this time). The reluctantly came to help. While they were "helping" (watching me clean) I started to assign them tasks and in return I was receiving attitude from on of the guys. His response to all of this was that I needed to "calm down because it is not that serious". I got even more frustrated with his comment and told him in a very loud tone that if he and the others would clean up their own messes daily I would not be doing this every few days.
I don't know if I am crossing the line or if I am just nit picking but I feel that if you are working at a medical facility no matter the setting is should be clean and organized because if it is not then you could cause harm to your patients or to yourself. I have to say that I am still very frustrated and can't make heads or tales of this one though.... Am I being neurotic or am I justified in my actions?
