beansideIt's Wednesday, which means that it's payday and that is always a good day. I didn't have as much OT as I had last check, so it's a little sad, but it's still equal or more than I made with 911, so I'm happy. And it was a three paycheck month, so I have a little bit extra to put away and to splurge just a tiny bit. I think I'm going to get a portable second computer monitor for D&D. poisontaster got one and her descriptions of being able to have the PDF on one monitor and the Roll20 site on two different screens sounds lovely. Also, more socks. They just seem to disappear a little at a time.
Yesterday, I learned a bit, and then for the afternoon, my trainer gave me control of her screen and I worked Epic and the phone system while she talked. She's trying to figure out how to drag out what is basically a 2 week training for four weeks. The rule is that I can't go on the phones til I have all the Epic classes. I have two more to go. One is on 4/5, but the other isn't til 4/19. Once that's done, I'll be on the phone supervised for a week. So I will be in training until 4/26. My first actual day solo on the phones will be the 29th.
It was kind of cool, finding that I could mostly keep up with the trainer. We of course, immediately had some very complicated scheduling, because that's how it goes. But that just meant that I learned more, which was cool. I feel a little bad, because the schedule for anything more complex than an xray is busy as hell. So you might find one appointment within a week that someone cancelled, but the majority are going to be later in April, or even May. That's going to be tough to tell people.
Today there will probably be more of that, and maybe getting into some of the different modalities of radiology. Or, we might stretch that out. my trainer is a little frustrated that of all of her students, I'm the one with the fucked up schedule, since I actually make notes and refer to them, making the stuff she has to teach even shorter, because I mostly do not have questions. Once in a while, I'll say "Just to be clear, _______?" And since I'm usually just verifying that my notes are correct, it doesn't take long to confirm. But generally, no, I don't have questions because I'm paying attention.
I really have no idea what we're going to do the rest of this week. We're at slide 42 out of 64 on the powerpoint. She's started giving me an hour for lunch to stretch things out. (Not complaining, mind you!)
I have flipped my banks on my paycheck. 85% goes on the credit union card, and 15% on the Tmobile card. That'll be enough to keep it solvent for recurring payments like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney, all that. If I need to, I'll kick a little extra into there for stuff like the phone bill.
Looking forward to the weekend for KPot Hot Pot and Korean BBQ for lunch on Saturday, but the rest of the weekend will be random adulting. We've got doctor appointments in the morning on Saturday, and I've got to go get an oil change, so that'll be thrilling.
I'm sure after the doctor's appointment, I'll have more random adulting to do. I've been having problems with my left shoulder (stretching hurts, reaching hurts, decreased range of movememnt, all that good stuff) so that'll probably be an MRI, plus a mammogram, plus labwork, plus cologard. The joys of getting older. The mammogram doesn't have to be done until August, at least.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get dressed and all that shit. Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday!
