Tuesday has arrived! Good lord, yesterday was a shitshow. When I got dad up, he was out of it. Oxygen level was a bit low, and he just was having trouble staying awake. It wasn't bad enough to call 911, but we were pretty sure it was headed that way. But in the afternoon, he perked up some, so we just watched. We'll see what today brings. It was incredibly stressful, and I did not appreciate it while I was working, but it is what it is.
I did end up writing about a page of notes yesterday, so we're actually doing some things at work. My trainer is a touch miffed that they have my final Epic class scheduled 4 weeks out. Because the rules say that she has to keep me for a week after that class, and she feels like she could put me on the phone now and I'd do well. So she has to stretch out a 54 page powerpoint for four weeks. Normally, they do it at about 3 weeks, but she feels like I could go in less and be fine.
We did some scanning yesterday afternoon. The radiology orders come in via an electronic fax, or by email, and we pull them and scan them into the chart. I don't have access to Epic yet, so I had to take control of her screen, and do it that way. I actually enjoyed it. The first one, I was slow, ad kind of had to verbally talk myself through it, but after that, I picked up speed and was moving fairly quickly. It was actually, kind of fun, to take the order and interpret it into the appropriate tests and codes.
Today, we'll do more classwork, and then towards the afternoon, we'll see what else we're going to be doing. I have no idea, honestly. I don't think my trainer does, either.
I feel like my life has become boring for the most part. I'm not loving my schedule. I'm a morning person, so 9-5:30 is a little rough. I need to get used to it, because my real schedule is 9:30-6 for the time being. This may change, and I will 100% let them know that I'd like earlier if it opens up. But I feel like this takes all my day. Not a ton that I can do before I start work, and not much I can do after, either. I'd much rather be 8-4:30 or even 7-3:30. Both would be good.
I already have 10 hours of PTO, which of course, I can't use for another 2 months. I'm looking forward to seeing my paycheck this week. The stub should release around 5pm today. It's still a little surreal, seeing the amounts. Maybe in another month it'll be commonplace, but for now, it's still a little miracle that shows up every two weeks. (Then again, it's only my third paycheck after a 2 month paycheck free streak.)
Apparently a ship hit the Key Bridge and it came completely down. That is going to be a pain in the ass for commuters. There's really only three routes to get around Baltimore. There's the two tunnels, and 695. 695, you can either go the long way around the city, or you can go the bridge, which is kind of a straighter shot. And now, that way is gone. The video and pictures are fucked up. Insane to imagine such a big structure coming down so easily.
Okay, time for me to consider getting pants on? Everyone have an amazing Tuesday!
