beansideAnother Friday in the books--but I had to fight for it, let me tell you.
Work was almost entirely stuff for the new job. I waa barely on the phone. First up, I got to go into the trashfire's appointment from yesterday and see how many errors she'd made. It showed two things that needed to be updated, and five appointments that needed to be moved, including a particularly egregious one that was at an outpatient center, for a patient who had verbally abused the staff at a different outpatient center that the cops had to be called. Pt's with behavioral issues go to the hospital where we have security. The outpatient centers may have an aging security guard, but lets be real: In a real emergency they're going to do no good. I sent her an email about that one. I wanted a paper trail. Patient care alerts or FYIs are in red on the left of the pt chart, and on the right side of the chart is the reason for it, also in bold letters. I sent her an email to fix it. I get the feeling I want documentation that I've spoken with her, just in case it tries to bite me in the ass.
Soon after, it was the manager's meeting/bitchfest. The trashfire was the topic of discussion for much of it. This time I was more involved, presenting the stats for her errors (12% of her calls have errors of varying seriousness.) The managers were not pleased by this. There was discussion of if there was a specific type of scan that screws her up, and I had to admit that while MRI's lead the list, it's in every modality.
Much discussion about what to do with her. It's decided that the trainer will shadow her a couple of days, and that I (who me?) will also shadow her a couple/few days. This will occur after the Top two managers and her manager confir on Monday. It should be interesting.
Then there was discussion of my job, and that they were granted the two new positions, but not to backfill my role. As a result, I'm on the phones sometimes. They're going to announce soon, I get the feeling that they're trying to figure out how to do it tactfully, since they didn't advertise the job, basically just installed me into it. I also learned that the last time I had applied, I was second choice. If the other person hadn't accepted, I'd have gotten the job. That's fine, I got it now. There was a little bit more discussion that I don't remember, but I did make notes.
Then, I took a turn watching the help channel in teams. It was mostly not busy, though towards the end of the hour, the questions were coming from multiple people at once. I hadn't done it since I had applied for the first job, and I was suprrised how much easier it was this time. I only needed to look up one thing, and I was right about what I was going to say. I guess I did need that extra 15 months for seasoning.
Finally, I grabbed my lunch break and relaxed after taking doggo on his walk. Then, back to my desk and 12 new emails. Good lord. The rest of the time was filling appointment and checking emails.
I got a message from the pacemaker person. This ballsy motherfucker called their cardiologist on vacation (!!!!) and got him to write the order for his MRI. So now I need to shuffle two patients to make a hole for us to get them in on 4/20. I hardly ever say this, but that poor doctor. I now understand why the office told me "We're very familiar with This patient."
I finished up the day with a coworker pinging me on teams to see if I had a scrip for sending a mychart message to a patient. (Of course I fucking do.) Any new message I write, I keep a document of. It makes live easier. One of my bilingual coworkers is helping me translate to Spanish as well. Eventually, I plan to put it out there as a resource.
I will bring that up in the chat on Monday.
Finally, I finished work and sat down for a half hour before we dealt with dinner. I had put on the ribs at 3:30, so by 5:30 they were tender. The carrots were taking forever to cook, so instead we had salad with them, and then nibbled ont he carrots later.
I wanted game snacks, so I ordered dumplings from NiHao, which came 40 minutes into the game, but they were so worth it. I got Crystal Shrimp dumplings, which are so delicious and tender, Soup dumplings which were brimming with tasty pork soup, gyoza, which are a favorite. Last, I ordred Peking Duck eggrolls which come with a plum sauce to dip. Good lord, I love those things. I could eat just them. I also have scallion and egg rice for breakfast, which should be yummy. I need my friends to come down here so I can take them for Dim Sum at NiHao.
The game was a lot of fun. They reached the Forgotten prince, who gave them a hell of a fight and took down one of the players before being curbstomped. It was a good fight and everyone seemed to have fun. And the rogue critted on a vorpal sword attack, which was hilarious. and a fitting end to the arc. Now, armed and ready, they will prepare to take on Tiamat. Fortunately, our next game isn't for three months (We switched it around so the player that had to leave for school can play. So Saturdays will be chaotic for a while on the old calendar. I need that time to code in a handful of characters. I'm going to need stats for the handmaidens. then I need to pull dragon character sheets. Then, I need to code in Tiamat. She's a five headed dragon, and for her, each head needs it's own character sheet and initiative. It's going to be bonkers.
It should be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to it. Also ready to finish the game. It's been an amazing five years, and I love these characters, but I've run out of things to do with them. They've fought just about everything the D&D world had to throw at them. It's time.
This was session 92. It would not surprise me if the game lasts to 100 sessions. They still have some work to get into hell, and then a gauntlet to run before they get to the big, big bad. The ultimate enemy for the end of a five year campaign.
Today should be fun. I've got a few errands to do, and then I shall relax. I've only got one pack of my sleepy pills, so it's time to put in a big order at the dispensary, since they acrually have them in. This will carry me through til Canada (Where I sadly cannot take it.) So that's good.
I'm waiting on my new carry on bag that will join my backpack as my personal item. It's not supposed to come until Wednesday. I want to start packing the stuff I can, dammit. I'm ready for this trip. I realized that I was not going to be able to carry any clothes in the backpack when you factored in medicine, including Mounjaro in a case of some sort to protect it, plus electronics. (Laptop, Kindle and all the accompanying cords) plus sound machine. And my purse is relatively small. So now, I'll have the laptop bag, and then the other bag as a personal item, with my purse inside. I think it'll work.
Tomorrow, I also have very little to do. I'm going to take a coupld of hours to help one of my players code a homebrew subclass into Roll20, and then I'm going to guide her and Jess through a role play of their characters meeting, so that they will know each other before the adventure starts. They're both starting in prison, so it makes sense for them to be acquainted.
Anyhow, time for me to consider pants and maybe breakfast. Everyone have an amazing Saturday!
