Like "no problem" in response to thank you. I am a nurse. I love helping people and I truly want to. If someone got mad at me or annoyed because I used the "wrong" words, well, that wouldn't really want me to be nice to anyone.
Maybe give other people a little compassion and give them the benefit of the doubt. I think that is being truly sincere and not phony.  |
Having spent way too much time in doctor's offices and hospitals this year, may I just say "THANK YOU". Your colleagues here have all treated me with a great deal of caring and sincerity. It has meant a lot to me, at the times when I have needed it the most. Y'all are the best. Keep on using the "wrong" words - if you're anything like the nurses that have kept me going this year, your sincerity isn't in question with me.
