  • Yay, Hours!

    The tech at <other other> location is off for three whole weeks! My paycheck's gonna love this.


    Aw, crap. I'm having library flashbacks
    Some of you may remember me complaining about being hit on by skeezy men when I was working at the library. Incidents in my current job have been blissfully few, but I had one today. Creepy Old Dude didn't come out and actually hit on me, but I could tell where it was headed. Questions like "When do you get off work today?" (when I'm done) "Are you married?" (that's what this bling on my left hand means), and "How old are you?" (young enough to be your granddaughter) kinda tipped me off.

    Yes, I am apparently a hawt young thang. No, you can't haz.


    Scheduling, pls to get it together
    'Nuff said, really.

    Someone in scheduling talked to both Boss Lady AND the tech I'm covering for about a particular test and when it could be done. Technically, said exam is within my scope and I'd love to do it. However I haven't been trained on the system and Boss Lady prefers a more experienced tech handle it right now. Fine and dandy. K works full time at another location and has graciously agreed to cover the exams I can't do on Thursdays.

    Guess what scheduling wanted to add on for today (which is not Thursday). It turned out to be a misunderstanding between the scheduling department and what the doctor's office said they wanted and everything got worked out. But still.


    Can't keep a boss
    Boss Lady is actually the second boss I've had in the year or so I've been with the company. I really like Boss Lady. She took over duties from Old Boss (who was also awesome) at <home location> and split her time between there and <other other location>. We got an e-mail yesterday that Boss Lady is going back to full time at <other other location> and <home location> has an opening for a new manager. I suspect she really didn't get a say in this, but I finding hilarious that this happens not long after she assured us <home location> was a priority for her (<other other location> had a lot of personel changes very quickly which Boss Lady had to deal with. It ruffled a few feathers at <home location> that she was spending so much time at <other other location>).

    Hopefully when New Boss gets hired, s/he can find me more hours. Jedi wants her Fridays back!


    SCORE!!
    It's such an awesome feeling to get a hard stick on the first try.

        This has been up a whole day and Sheldonrs hasn't commented on THAT line yet??? Have I accidentally slipped into some weird alternate reality thing and only just now noticed?

              I thought members of both species could be referred to as a 'date.'

                See if you can spot the flaw in this logic
                Patient complaint of pain in her throat when swallowing. Doctor orders test to see how fast food moves through the stomach. Bwuh? Patient (rightfully, IMO) refuses the study.


                Uh....sure
                The department has been closed on Fridays because frankly they don't have the numbers to keep it open 5 days. It's nice having a day off. Got a call from Boss Lady this afternoon wondering if I'd be willing to work this Friday. Someone wants a stress test, and since stress tests are our big money makers, we find a way to do them. But my schedule's filled up with other stuff. So Boss Lady wants to open up Friday's schedule. Now, do I really want to work on Friday? Not particularly. I was planning on doing my grocery shopping that morning before the traffic gets nasty. Will I work Friday? Absolutely. I need the money. Hopefully the schedule doesn't fill up too much.
