My first week at work

Kelly: This week marked my first few days at work without in-processing. I've entered the wonderful world of computer training. If you have any questions about the bubonic plague, hospital safety committees, or the limits on the retail value of gift to a contractor, just let me know! I spent most all of the day Thursday learning about chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear issues. Useful. The highlight was lunch with my surgeon friend, Jennifer. We laughed and discussed the virtues and challenges of having a househusband. Mine sounds like German toddler. Hers sounds like Crocodile Dundee!

I have an office...sort of. I saw the space that will be my office but the computer wasn't set up, so I had to be a squatter in another office on the hall. Much to my surprise, the computer was set up in my office this morning, but it hadn't been "authorized" yet which meant another day of borrowing someone's office. I attended three meetings today and learned a little bit more about what I will be doing, although everyone seems to have a different take on it. I also learned that the psychologist who I really like my take over the clinic position...how exciting! He reminds me of my favorite supervisor from internship...kind, a sense of humor, and very smart. One thing that I'm not liking is the rigid schedule. The little ants march in to the hospital at 7:30 sharp, pool out at noon for an hour lunch break, and then make their final exodus at 4:30 on the dot...ugh. I'm hoping to shift my schedule for a day or two a week to come in later and see some of the providers who start their shifts at 4:30 and allow a little variety and flexibility into my schedule. Most seem to like the structure and predictability of the day. Even though I have OC tendencies, I'm not a fan of the rigid schedule.

My househusband cleaned today and started dinner this evening...being the sugarmomma has its privileges!

  1. Kel (and matt!), I love reading about your adventures, although I have to admit I think I would've cried and almost given up a million times by now! But then again, I get frustrated just standing in line at the post office. More power to you for staying posi and patient (and sane). Your house sounds so cute! Can't wait for more updates! :) xo
