Insecure
I'll talk about the industrial action later, since I've sort of seen it from both sides today. Right now, though, I am tired, I think I've worked myself into yet another case of lurgy (or possibly the same case of lurgy that is just never going to get better no matter how much vitamin C I intake if I don't take better care of myself), and I plan to go home in fifteen minutes because I cannot, will not, shall not face rush hour on public transport in this state.
(Or I'll hit 4pm and decide that one more hour won't kill me. And I might even be right, but still...)
So instead, I'll just make a very brief comment about my fellow float: namely that the data protection stuff we had beaten into us when we started (and also common fucking sense) clearly did not stick with her. I admit that I am slightly paranoid in that I will password-lock my computer if I'm wandering even so far as the printer across the room, but it's a damn sight better than wandering off for forty-five minutes, ostensibly to pick up notes but I've been in the office from which she collects said notes; she mostly gossips, and leaving your computer on, logged in, unlocked and without even having the screen saver pop up. Technically, I could report her because that just screams 'leakage of sensitive patient data'. She'd probably say that she's in an admin-only section and no patients or anything go through here, so what's the problem?
...Well, not taking into account the maintenance staff running riot through this floor and the floor below us, I've worked in hospitals where, despite it being admin offices, a bunch of thieves actually made off with the computers themselves. During normal business hours, by all accounts. And all it takes is a glance at her monitor to see what's going on with a patient's case. Sure, they may not know the person, but I don't want some little noit being able to casually glance at my medical records. I'm worried enough about the people who need that access to do their jobs. Either way, point is, we have security for a reason and she should damn well use it.
*sigh* Want to go hooooome.
