I work in a psychiatric prison, and there are many restrictions placed on the employees. One is that most employees do not have access to the Internet. For various reasons which I will not delve into here, I do. I have always felt this was a responsibility, and before all staff had access to the Texas Tech Announcements sight, I read it daily, and forwarded on anything I thought might be of interest to others with whom I work.
Now, I often print out articles that related to the state budget, how the budget effects state employees, and issues regarding inmates, and working in prisons. I was not sure if anyone cared about these articles.
Recently, I was on vacation, and upon my return, a couple of coworkers told me they missed not having the articles printed and available for staff to read. They said they appreciated them, and felt like other staff also came to read these articles.
We sometimes do not know how our actions effect others. I am always appreciative when someone tells me something I do has a positive impact.
