We saw WAY TO MANY people today! I had to stay until almost 6 (and I get off at 4:30) so that I could play catch up because tomorrow we see DOUBLE the amount we saw today! We are also down one file clerk (who I terminated from the temp agency today) and one front person (who has to go to court for a speeding ticket!) ARGH! It is going to be a rough day tomorrow ..round 2!
One person in the back, who I am responsible for has decided to speak with me again. The other person hasn't said squat. Childish! I think I will recommend what Judy said about sending them to the employee assistance program to work out their issues.
That is about all for me. Not to much happened this weekend. Hoping for a trip to UNO's sometime in the near future...or Michelangelo's....for pasta. I want some pasta!

What a mad work world!
There are 2 people at work who make life for most miserable. These 2 people are from the "old" crowd and just need to go. Both of these people are not speaking to me and I am sure I do NOT know why....seriously. One is a nursing "assistant" and she isn't talking to any of us who work in the front. Sounds like a bad rumor to me. The other girl is someone I am responsible for and her actions are misguided. The practice administrator would love to see her gone as she has been trouble from the beginning. She has a huge chip on her shoulder and for some strange reason, believes I changed a policy or procedure regarding her job. The only reason I know this is because of this email she sent me:
I would appreciate it if I could be informed of changes that go on with the charts. The way things were initially done are now being changed with me having no knowledge of them, I know I’m not up in the front but I still would like to be informed on changes with the charts.
Thanks
My response...I didn't know what the heck she is taking about but wanted to address what should be happening and what wasn't happening with the charts:
Her Name:
I completely agree that you should be informed and included with any changes regarding charts preparation. I wasn’t aware any changes occurring so I apologize if there are any miscommunication.
My understanding and what I want to see happen is any patient who is new and added on the same day, the front is in charge of making the chart. The exception I see is if the patient is new for the following day and you are off or gone, (maybe we should consider a 2:30 cut off time??) front would then be responsible for making the chart. If the existing patient is an add on for the following day, we would request the chart.
I know there have been days when new patient charts were not made and you had to come in and make them without any notice. If someone in the front plans on making the chart the next morning, they need to communicate with you to let you know so that duplicates are not made. I don't think this has been happening so I will email everyone. If it continues to be an issue it will be addressed until it isn't an issue.
I had suggested that we email or call you if we add on a patient for the next day to give you a heads up. That was only a suggestion. Front is also supposed to notify you if the patient requires an authorization via phone/email so that it can be obtained either way. I hope this is still happening.
If any of the above has not been happening, then let's discuss what is happening so we all can work together efficiently.
I appreciate your help and work.

Yet 2 days later, she still doesn't speak or look at me. I didn't change a procedure. Nothing has changed. I suppose she is mad at something else and just won't talk to me about it. I don't know what I did or didn't do but I know it doesn't take much for her to go off into a tizzy. So since we don't care if she stays or goes, I am going to let her be a victum. Maybe she will transfer out of our department soon. Crossing fingers it is sooner than later. I wanted to try and smooth things over with her, thus the reason why I said I was sorry for miscommunication but I am done now and since I have the backing of the office administrator and know she is done too, then I am going to let her be mad and stay mad.

Who is this Katie person
Yesterday as we were driving to my parent house, we were speaking of all the kids at fraubyers house the night before. I had mentioned Katie's name several time. Maggie spoke up and asked, "Who is this Katie person of yours?". Made us laugh!

Thanks to mom for this one!
The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert.
After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.
Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, 'Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?'
'The Lone Ranger replies, 'I see millions of stars.'
'What that tell you?' asked Tonto.
The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, 'Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.
Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning.
Theologically, the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What's it tell you, Tonto?'
'Tells me you dumber than buffalo shit. It means someone stole the tent.'

Lost Churches of Louisiana
One of the local television stations in South Louisiana aired an interview
with a woman from New Orleans. The interviewer was a woman from a Boston affiliate.
She asked the New Orleans woman how such total and complete devastation of the churches in the area had affected their lives. Without hesitation, the woman replied, 'I don't know bout all them other peoples, but we haven't gone to Churches in years. We gits all our chicken from Popeye's'.
The look on the interviewer's face was priceless.
Sorry about this folks, but it make me laugh!

Update of sorts
Friday night found me drained but I was delighted to go out with friends for a birthday celebration. On Saturday, the celebration continued as we went over to a friends home and had a cookout. It was fun seeing so many different people together and so many children playing well together. I think the head count was 15 children and 15 adults. Not sure of that one but I was amazed at how well everyone played nice with each other...even the adults! Today we are off to my parents home for a cookout. My mom will make a feast as she always does.
More later...
More later...

Disappointment
Thursday I have lunch plans with my friend Judy. It is a good thing to because it was also a pitch in lunch for 2 employees who are leaving. (One is a favorite nurse and the other is a xray tech who needs to go..she has a bad attitude)....anyway, I made the Stephanie Byers casserole for the pitch in and burnt it! I basically threw away $22 bucks! Mrs. P said we would eat it for dinner tomorrow. It isn't burnt to the point of being totally ruined but one would not feed it to guests or want to take it in to share...It is only good to share with family! I was very disappointed! This is the 2nd time I made the casserole and the 2nd time it did not turn out well! I guess I should hang up my apron....made the darn thing and didn't cut myself or even burn myself...just burnt the darn food! What a shame!

Monday, Sept 1
My goal today is that I am working on not being so depressed. Nothing more than that and that is a lot.
