I can't believe they pay me for this.

I just can't believe they pay me to do this job. Yeah you do have to know stuff, but still.... ok there are 2 seats, seat one checks in the patients and answeres the phone but seat two does most of the phone. Seat two does the daily sheets which have the patients name and test etc on it, anyway you get them ready for the next day and you also print out a list of echos to be done the next day and fit inpatients in around them. But the problems is that when seat 2 is done with the day sheets thats it. You just answere the phone when it rings. Well today I was in seat two, so when your co workers disappears for 1/2 hour at a time you can check people in and answer the phone all at once. That can get a little crazy but its worth it because in a little while you might not have anything to do.

I jokingly said to the coworker today, so this is like the "day off" seat, the do nothing seat and she laughed and said "yes it is" in her cute southern way. I crack her up!

Well all the technicians seem to like me, they keep asking me if I'm staying. I'm thinkin its a little early to be askin that don't you? They are fun though and I enjoy when they come up to visit me.

Oh yeah, the coworker runs a heater all day. Yes I said a HEATER. Aparently this chick has never had a hot flash. So I said to her "Coworker", lol no I didn't say that, but thats pretty funny. I think I might start calling her that lol. I said coworker you are killin me with that heater. And do you know what she said? lol, "you are going to have to wear thinner clothes because I am not turning it off. I am cold". So I'm buying a fan, a little one so at least while she has heat I can catch a breeze. I do turn it off when she has her disappearing times.
Well I finish training on Monday and Tuesday, then I will be there permanently. We'll see who wins the heat battle, I have a feeling it isn't going to be me. LOL

Oh, the Roller Coaster of Life

Well, my son and his girlfriend broke up, apparently. I did ask him about this on Sunday because I had a "feeling" and he yelled something at me, so I kept my mouth shut and figured I'd find out more when he was ready to tell me. Well I found out, but it was on a family website. I am very fortunate to have wonderful relatives who handled his situation beautifully. They all gave wonderful advice without talking down to him. I am glad he feels he can talk to them, and actually say what he feels. I could not have given him any of those perspectives as his mother and I hope they keep in touch with him and see how he is doing. Sometimes I can tell he's here because I see a trail of dirty dishes, sometimes I can smell his dirty socks, (lol yuk), Sometimes I hear his voice when he is asking for money. I hope he takes the advice about getting a job.
