It's Friday! My new chair is supposed to come today! I am very excited by this, but also thinking that I might need to bring it in in pieces as it weighs over 60lbs. It doesn't appear to be very difficult to put together, but we'll see! Famous last words. The temporary chair has worked well, but it's not quite ideal. My back doesn't hurt in it, but it's not really comfortable. It has a very prominent lumbar support, and it means that I'm not able to sit all the way back. Like I said, it's okay on the back, but I'd like something a little less prominent.
Below are the contenders, cut for size.
The current chair:
The new chair:
They're both nice chairs, but I'm hoping the Steelcase Leap V1 is good for me. It's supposed to come between 11am-3:30pm. It would be nice if it showed up right at 12, when I'm on break, but we'll see.
Today is the last day of Patient Access Training. Aside from being on camera and having a live microphone it's been not horrible. Though, the last couple of days, we've been doing scenarios, where one person plays the patient and another is the calltaker. It's not horrible, mostly just mildly annoying on the surface. The problem I'm finding is that I've kind of taken to the computer system easily, and others haven't. So I find myself having a hellacious embarrassment squick for my coworkers. Some of them just have no flow at all, and I am having anxiety for them. One in particular, I had to stop watching when I wasn't the patient, because I just couldn't.
Dad seemed a little uncomfortable yesterday, which of course worries me. As I said to Jess, we're at the newly home phase where I'm paranoid about him getting sick again, so every little "eh" is a potential emergency.
Also, with the training, I spend all day with the "polite, helpful work" mask on that by the time I click the camera off, I'm exhausted and a bit fried. Next week should be a little better, I hope. I won't have to be on camera, which should help. Also, Tasha, my departmental trainer is a little more informal. All in all, it should make it a little less tiring.
It's a weekend of games, which will be awesome. First up, I'm running a game tonight. It's from the Keys from the Golden Vault book, and seems like it'll be fun. Tomorrow and Sunday,
poisontaster is running games. It should be a fun time!
Okay, time for me to get my ass together. Everyone have an excellent Friday!
