Too good to be true.
Things are always too good to be true. I'm finally heading home next week, I received a pretty hefty tax return, and I'm starting my Echo rotation at the UWMC. What's not to love, right? *sigh* Erin, whom I loved working with during Echo labs last year, was supposed to be my CI at the UWMC. I just found out that she is taking a job at Children's and will no longer be my CI as of April 8th. I am really, really bummed right now. She was one of the reasons I wanted to be at the UWMC. She's really nice, but not too lax and she knows her stuff. I was really looking forward to working with her, especially since we had a good dynamic already going on. But alas. Things cannot always go my way. I'm really nervous now to find out who my new CI will be and if I will get along with that person. Watch my new CI be someone super strict who'll make me feel stupid the whole time. I hope to heaven that doesn't happen. The last thing I need is for my Echo rotation to be screwed up, especially since I've been looking forward to this for four years or so. *sigh again* Did I mention I am really bummed?
As if that weren't bad enough, work today wasn't exactly fun. I feel like I did a million patients and I really did do quite a few. I seriously spent about an hour writing my last prelim (for a double study) and I was not having a blast, even though it was gorgeous out the whole day. And then, our beloved medical director for the lab approaches me to tell me that he'd like to schedule a half hour to go over PVR interpretations because I've made "repeated mistakes" and he'd like to get that fixed. Okay. First of all, I leave next week. Second of all, I've been a student at this lab for 6 months and only now does he bother to offer some teaching time? I've been doing a whole lotta PVRs independently for a while and only now does he bring this up? If my mistakes were really something serious, he would've approached me way in advance. My coworkers say not to worry about and I do know enough about our beloved director that I won't worry about it. *shakeshead* I am so ready to go home.
And will somebody please get rid of this headache for me?!?! Thank you.
P.S. My most recent favorite quote is from a Taco Bell commercial (with those blue 99 cent guys):
"I don't have an ego. I just like to see how awesome I am." I think it goes like that...
