I bought this about 15 years ago. I'd just finished spraypainting it and getting it into its new nook when it broke, snapped! I think most of the lamp is metal, maybe some is plastic. Is there any hope of fixing it?
We hired someone and paid them a lot of money to do a job for us. I think they took advantage of the fact that -- unlike probably some of their customers -- we are soft-spoken and not "assertive". In the end, some of their work was incomplete and shoddy. We have called their attention to it, and they get defensive! I myself did a similar job in our home and did a much more solid, thorough job, while I believe they cut corners. We don't have a man in the house who can be there to say, "Hey, look, this isn't right -- do the work we paid you to do!" And so I'm sort of left seething and disgusted, you know? I've contacted the business again to come back and remedy our issue, and when they do, how assertive ought I -- as a Christian -- to be with them? Is it right to be angry if an injustice has been done, and how can I get help for my anger and frustration?
In a hospital setting, during a chaotic series of patient critical incidents, a doctor asked me (member of the interdisciplinary team) about one patient's survival status and I gave them a yes/no answer. The doctor didn't mention the patient's name, only a room number. My issue is that I don't think the doctor was part of the patient's careteam, but may have been asking from administrative/leadership duties (but I don't know). I fear I shouldn't have shared with them. HIPAA violation?
