Another Personal Update

It’s day. My mind is full of things to write about, but I’ve just gotten home and I don’t have the time or energy to write as much as I would like.

This evening, I went to the CHC Annual Meeting of the Nursing Staff. Hopefully, I will get some time at work tomorrow to write about it.

I also started playing with a new site, or at least new to me called Mood 24/7. It is a site where people can easily, via a text message, or a form on the website, self report how they are feeling on a scale of 1 to 10. You can share it with your doctor to see if you are depressed (or perhaps bipolar or manic-depressive). You can share it with friends.

It seems like there could be some really interesting information gathered and analyzed, if they set things up right, to track how the national mood, or perhaps the mood of various states. It could be interesting to track the mood of an organization, especially as it explores organizational change.

I don’t know how open they will be with aggregate data or if it makes sense to pursue some other system that will do the same thing and provide aggregate data, but the prospects are intriguing.
