Update

Let me tell you a little about what I have been up to. Last Thursday, the practice administrator had each of us pull out a piece of paper from a basket. Each paper had a name of an associate we work with. We had to come up with 3 admirable qualities or something we look up to and/or respect on the person we picked. It could be either personal or professional. I pulled the worst person in our office. She is mean to us. She says she hates our patients families. She doesn't have anything nice to say to anyone. I showed the administrator and she laughed and laughed and laughed. I laughed too but I really had to stretch and dig deep. So I came up with these 3 things.

1. Spews confidence

2. Sharp analysis

3. No dependence of validation from others

MY MEANING of 1: She is very confident...to the point of making us to want to vomit!

MY MEANING of 2: She is quick to judge others.

MY MEANING of 3: She doesn't give a shit about what anyone else wants or feels.

So I went hoping into the clinical coordinators office and of course she knew who I had because the administrator had already laughed and laughed and told her...so I showed her my list. I thought she was going to fall off her chair. She said she "Loved my adjectives and that everything I said was true." So I bee bopped into the practice administrator and told her I was finished and asked if she wanted to see it....and she did. I thought she was going to fall over laughing. She even called her boss, the "BIG" administrator to share it with him...(EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS PERSON...and yet she stil gets away with it?!) and with her laughing, I couldn't help but laugh and almost potted my pants! I wasn't sure if she was going to read our lists a loud or if she was going to give each person their list....so I wrote in cursive using my LEFT hand because this person would know my writing.... This made her laugh even harder!! The administrator then said through her laughter, although they were all true, I had to redo them because there was NO WAY she could ever read them with a straight face. She said she was going to keep the list and anytime she needed a pick me up she was going to re-read them. The next day I went back into her office with 3 new ones. She said as she was getting ready for work that next morning, she let out a huge laugh thinking about what I came up with.

Oh and I forgot to tell you,
My new list:
1. Beautiful eyes and hair
2. Articulate speaker
3. Confident

It was very ackward! Most everyone wrote a book about the person they got...I had a few words...oh well. It was the best I could come up with!

More later!
