(no subject)
I've been offically earning a paycheck now for 2 weeks. The first 2 days were orientation and let me tell you... BORING! I've started my training in heme. I thought it would suck (still feeling the effects of Mary Kickbush I guess) but so far I actually love it! Part of that is cuz I havent started diffs yet. I was supposed to try to get to those Friday but I really didnt feel like it and our main analyzer was down and being Friday there was a lot of other things. I pretty much was stuck in urines all day even though I was supposed to be running the LH (our main analyzer-we have 2). So far though, I really like the people I work with. The main lady that's been training me, Cary, is a blast. We usually laugh a lot. She's so upbeat it's great. I think she's the heme head or whatever they are classified as here cuz I know she's a manager and everyone always comes to her for answers. Talk about a switch. The last heme supervisor was kinda strange, poor sense of (very very dry) humor and well, let's say, not on my list of people to send a Xmas card to. And now I deal with Cary who is a ton of fun. But she still crams a lot of stuff at me at once and I always have a long list of things to do. But it's different when you actually like the person who's making you do all this shit.
Oh, there is one person I've met that I would like to let have a piece of my mind. First of all, the first time I even said anything to him was Friday. He's quite strange but I've never said anything to him or given him a strange look or anything. Like I said, last Friday was busy especially in urines. Our to be racked bucket was overflowing. So I took the bucket to him and asked him if he could rack them for us when he gets time. I was very nice about it and as far as I know/knew that's what we were supposed to do when we (the techs) were busy. I should take a second to tell y'all that in our lab we have techs and aids. There is usually 1 main aid per shift and they track specimens, rack them, put them on the line, etc. Our day time aid, Missy, is a sweetheart. And every day when the bucket of done urines is full and we're busy we ask her to rack them when she has time, and she's always so pleasent about it and is always like sure no problem. And Missy is constantly running her ass off during the day. She really is. Between the pod station, the phone, tracking specimens, racking specimens, centrifuging certain specimens, keeping all our supplies stocked, and sharps containers replaced when full, she's busy as we are. But anyway so I asked Trenn (the pm aid) to rack the urines when he got a chance. He turned around, gave me one of those condesending looks and snottily goes ' yeah i'll add that to my long list of things to do.' I didnt say anything outloud but I was thinking ok dick I asked you nicely and as far as I know this is how things are done. I've never even said anything to you or about you so I dont know what the fuck your problem is but back the fuck up. GRR. So Kelly, another tech racked them when she finished doing what she was doing (I dont think she heard fuckstick). I think Kelly may be someone I work with on pm's. Normally she comes in about that time. But she was working days Friday and so her and I got to work together some and she seems like a sweetheart too.
So far I like TC. I really dont know where I'm going yet but I'm getting a little better. Weekends suck though to be honest. Since I dont know where I"m going and I dont know anyone I really have nothing to do and nowhere to go. Today I went to the beach a little bit and just sat by the water and watched it. It was very peaceful... definitly a great place to go when I just need to get away and think. Oh and guess what I found a quarter! I was just sitting down letting sand run though my fingers and I saw something just below the surface and low and behold it was a quarter. I couldnt believe it. Seriously what are the odds?
Other than that there's nothing new in my life.
