It's Wednesday and we're halfway through the week!

Good lord, yesterday was a very Mondayish Tuesday. The phones were crazy busy, to the tune of 54 calls. But more than that, it was the callbacks. I'm the troubleshooter for management. So I'll get shit that needs attention. Sometimes, it's because my coworkers can't be trusted to do their job. They've had problems about people going into another status, saying they're calling a customer back, and then being in that status for thirty minutes. Or with them not checking their email or responding to their email about mistakes they've made. Or being out when there's a mistake they've made. Or, and my favorite, the customer booked the appointment, and the system booked it completely wrong.

Yesterday was that kind of day. I had one from our trainer, who managed to miss the big red note on his chart that said that he had artificial hips, and booked him for a rectal mass on the 3T machine. It wouldn't hurt the pt, but the pictures would be absolute garbage. So I got to call and rebook it for the 1.5 machine. I know people are human, but this is the woman we have trainining the team, and that was a rookie mistake.

Then, it was calling because the radiologist looked at the doctor's order for an MRI, decided it was trash, and wrote it in a way that it needed to be done as two separate MRIs, with a specialized protocol. Of course, he did this *after* the patient had already booked it online. Another call to
fix something.

And then my favorite. They sent me a message saying "can you reach out to the patient and book these appts. Here's the times we want them done and where. And I was like, awesome! This'll be easy. Dear reader, it was not. The doctor's orders were scattershot at best. They were her best guess at what she wanted, but not the correct type of orders. So when I tried, I couldn't schedule. I spent a good 20 minutes figuring the shit out and booking them. I had to bypass the orders completely, book for what it needed to be, and then go back and link the orders. By the end of it, my brain was dead, and I felt like I'd been taking crazy pills. Surely the doctor can't be that clueless on how to order this test!?! Oh wait. This order can't even be scheduled off of. *headdesk*.

But then! I got to go to the farmer's market! It was very small, only about six or seven stalls, though I've been assured that it gets larger as the growing season kicks off. I still enjoyed it, and got some artisan cheese and bread and cider and really good mushrooms. I used the mushrooms in my stir fry last night, and I'm tempted to chop some up and saute them with butter and garlic for breakfast. They're oyster mushrooms, which I don't believe I've ever tried.

I'm looking forward to having more vegetables in the comming weeks, but I was happy with my little haul. The accordion music wasn't bad. It certainly added something to the proceedings, even if what it added was a touch of the surreal.

Afterwards, I went to bed early with a bit of a headache, but spent probably an hour and a half chatting with poisontaster which is always good. I managed to get an idea for a sequel to a game that ended probably a year ago. I was going to run another module, but the one that made sense really didn't work for me. So I've been debating, and I think I was about to move it to the finished campaigns section, but then while I was talking about D&D in general with PT, I had a bit of an epiphany about something that I could write and run. Lately, I've had more fun with doing that than using modules anyway. I have the kernel of an idea, and it's one that will pull the party's backstories in, and give them a personal reason to stop the baddies.

But for now, it's time for me to get myself together. Everyone have an awesome Wednesday!
