I Am A Teacher

People? Common Sense? Not too many of those seen around?

So you are a hospital bed maker?

Nope. My sister taught me hospital corners when I was around four. Not that I am meticulous about them, but hubby is.

No I don't think they do. Especially the younger generation (under 30s.) I slipped and fell in Sears last week because the employees who were supposed to clean up a spill just left the open cleanser bottle sitting out in the middle of the floor and wandered off without mopping up the spill, then they acted like they couldn't care less and wouldn't take responsibility when I confronted them on it. I've noticed that seems to be the attitude a lot of younger people have in the workplace these days. No common sense and don't care that they're lacking in it.

I'm happy he's getting better. You're kidding. Nurses that can't make a bed? I've been making my bed since I was like, 12. Hospital corners and all

Gosh, I learned those in the Navy. God forbid they weren't right in boot camp otherwise it was push ups for me. And yes, they DID do the quarter toss trick as well. If it didn't bounce...

Common is there, sense is on leave.

I remember learning to make hospital corners when I made beds as a volunteer candy striper back in my younger days. Do they even have such volunteer positions as candy stripers to learn such tasks today?

Your last line. Most people have no idea how to make a bed if there is not elastic in the sheet anymore. Glad Tony is doing better.

I think nurses were also taught how to do it. But of course there are housekeeping staff in a hospital who does the work.
