(warning for "If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally," because seriously, what?
Yesterday was mostly quiet, especially in the afternoon at work. The morning was busy, not because of any particular calls coming in, but the person who normally calls patients was out, so I was in her role. I had a really good sucess rate, and got in a bunch of people for last minute tests.
I had one patient who I called at 7 for an appointment at 12. They went and afterwards called me back to thank me for not giving up on getting them in. The test showed an all clear from a cancer scare. They just wanted me to know that it turned out okay, and now they're going out to celebrate. It was very sweet, and I appreciated it a lot.
We have a higher up in the organization who sends out inspirational quotes. Most of them are kind of your basic pick me up quotes, but once in a while you get a good one. Yesterday's was how somewhere, there's someone who thinks you're amazing, because you showed kindness when no one else did. And after that patient called, I thought "well, I know who that person is today."
I'm hoping the other person I helped is doing okay. Their test didn't show anything good, and they're going for biopsy. Understandably, they have not written to my bosses, but I did tell them that it was in no way neccesary. Also with the bad news, I'm sure it drove it out of their mind.
Stepping in for the other coworker is a lot of work. But I enjoy it. It can get chaotic, but I've got a system, and take it one at a time. And I feel like it's always appreciated, which is nice.
I still feel like I'm building to a new position at work. I don't know what it'll be, but I feel like I'll be advancing relatively soon. I'm not sure how it's going to work, but with the other person out a lot (she's an older lady) I feel like they're going to slowly transition me towards that. Also, I feel like I'm easier to work with than her, since she's kind of set in her ways. I don't know. We shall see.
After work, I made a batch of Nestle Tollhouse cookies, but without the chocolate chips, as I didn't happen to have any. I used our brand new stand mixer, and it worked really well. I do need to remember to add the flour slowly and put the bowl shield on, but aside from that, it was all good. The cookies are delicious, like a brown sugar butter cookie. Will make again. Possibly some with chocolate chips for Jess and my sister. I'd like to get some oats to make oatmeal cookies, too.
Today, we have decided to go see Sinners. It's got amazing ratings, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. Plus the excecs are losing their fucking minds, because Ryan Coogler drove a serious bargain when it came to marketing. He got final cut, he makes money off the gross, not from the studio making back their money, and the film reverts back to him in 25 years. One executive said that it could be the "End of the studio system." So of course, I'm going to give my money to that.
Today movie til 3, and then I will come back and make frybread tacos. I'm looking forward to trying something new. I have the second half of a game at 7pm, so that'll be fun.
Tomorrow is Greek easter, and I'll run my sister over to her inlaws, and then we'll have a quiet day.
Okay time for me to consider pants and eating something other than cookies. Everyone have a superb Saturday!
