We survived Monday! We were super busy at work yesterday, so I'm hoping it'll be a little less so today. I did 55 calls, but they felt like more. Sometimes, I can whip through 65 and it's nothing, but yesterday was wall to wall complex shit. Sometimes, you just want to schedule an x ray instead of complicated Nuclear Medicine studies and PET scans. I fucking hate Nuc Med. Those tests are the biggest pain in the ass for scheduling. Isotope dose at this time, then exactly 2.5 hours later, scan one. Exactly 1.5 hours later, scan two. Exactly another hour, scan three. And some of them are even more than one day long, so you have to figure out precise timing over two days. And our system will try to get it, but the prefilled times don't always work, and you have to go looking.

I did find out that I'm getting an interview for the promotion. I went to check my portal, and it said "Interview Scheduled," but I hadn't heard anything, so I asked J, who is my boss' boss. He is a giant nerd and plays D&D, so he loves me. He says they're still working out scheduling times, but that I'm definitely in there and in conclusion, "I got you fam."

I still pretty doubtful that I'm going to get it, but I'm going to make like a mediocre cis white dude, and go in there like I own it. If I were to get it, I would be thrilled. It would be less on the phone, more helping coworkers, and working to get emergency patients into the sites. I would love that kind of job. And the bump in pay would of course be welcomed. When Jess looked at their information from a position last year, the salary went up to $13,000 more than I'm getting now. I'm not expecting that I'd get that top number, but I'd expect at least $4-5k more than I'm currently at. Maybe $3-4 more than I'm getting now an hour.

Honestly, if I could get up to $30/hr, I would be thrilled. That would be over $60k a year, which would be lovely.

I guess I have to get myself in the interview headspace again. See if I can charm them again.

Aside from that, things are pretty quiet. I had my psych appointment, got my meds called in. My sister was craving something sweet, so we doordashed from Vaccaro's, an Italian bakery. Jess ordered cannoli cake, but they sent chocolate. I am not mad about it. Fuck that was amazing. My sister got an eclair bigger than her head. I decided to wait to eat the sweet, so I got a custard pie that I need to bake for 35 minuutes. I'm going to do that today, and maybe have it for breakfast.

Okay, time for me to get myself together and consider clothing. Everyone have an awesome Tuesday!
