Long week

Oct 02, 2010 22:57

Tomorrow I'll be doing the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk. Not looking forward to getting up early, but the walk will be fun. I'm part of the team from work, I know a few friends are walking for their work too, and one of the girls from the gym works for the American Cancer Society, so she's working the event. I don't mind doing these walks, I just hate asking people for money. A few people donated, so that's alright.

Work this past week was rough. Monday when we got to work, we found out that our computer server was dead. Made it hard to do any work or even answer phone calls. Me and the other supervisor stayed while the other techs went home while repairs were being made. I pretty much just tried to make sure the Chemistry analyzers were ready to go once the computers were back up and all the testing was ordered. I ended up staying about an hour late to help get things caught up. Tuesday morning I went in at 7am to start reports since we hadn't done them the day before. Thursday was a long day. Our dr's decided to sell the practice to the local hospital basically. October 1st we would be under new ownership which means a lot of account numbers and stuff had to be changed beforehand. So Thursday the lab's job was to get as much of the work as we could finish done, and all the reports reviewed. We left work at 11pm. Now I did not stay straight thru-- I had a hair appointment, so ended up being away from work for about 2 hours. Friday the other computer system was down for much of the day. This system doesn't effect us working, but it's how we look up patient info and 'chart' patients not in our system. Now it was planned to be down to around noon for our ownership changeover, but somehow it took the system for the entire building. Yeah fun... It will be a nice paycheck. Right now I think my body is overtired from the stress and etc. Hopefully once I get home from the walk tomorrow, get groceries and get the stew going in the crockpot, I can kinda veg out for the day. I did lay around this evening, but didn't doze off.

Hopefully my one coworker has calmed down. She was on edge all Friday and made some comments that the boss heard and wasn't pleased about. I think this girl tries to do too much, be supertech and it's hitting her. Also she's been coming in earlier than her shift all week to help with start up and draw--at least that's why they say she's there. She works 10 hour days, so when she does that and leaves at the time that's not her normal hours, it throws things off. She got her day off on Wednesday, plus a few hours at home during the day Monday, so she shouldn't have been going off the way she was Friday. At one point she'll say how she needs money, but then bitches if she can't leave early . I ,on the other hand, was extremely calm during all the crap this week, though I think it hit me last night and this afternoon as tiredness. I only got to the gym twice, so I can't say that it was my workouts that helped keep me relaxed.

work crap, cancer walk
