still not coming fast enough!
two days down, three more to go this week and four and a half next week. i can't wait! i want OUUUUUUUTT!! although so far this week hasn't been too bad, there have been some happenings that have made the days more bearable. take for instance the fact that Monday they updated the CPSI system that connects all the areas in the hospital so if someone upstairs wants to order an x-ray they put it through the computer and it comes down to us without them having to leave their station. so the update was supposedly going to make things easier, when in actuality, it ruined EVERYTHING! no one could send us orders, the ones we did get didn't have accession numbers and we had to take the x-rays but suspend the order without completing it or risk losing it somewhere in the system. we had the IT guy in and out of our department and the CPSI people on the phone for the next three hours and it still wasn't fixed by the time i left. it was utter chaos. then i get in today and the system is somewhat fixed, we can get orders through but they still won't show up on the PACS system so we have to enter everything in manually. we do have accession numbers now but it takes an extra five minutes typing everything in and making sure you have the numbers and name right. so that was a total blast... NOT. poor Trista spent her entire shift on the phone with the CPSI guys trying to fix it and still wasn't able to get everything back to normal before she left.
Soooo on top of that we had a staff meeting today which i wasn't able to attend because being non-staff meant that if an order came through i had to do it for them while they chit-chatted and just as the meeting was getting started the ER decided to put through about six orders at once. so i find out well after the whole meeting that the ER was complaning that people were "socializing" down there too much and that the techs need to stay in our department unless they put an order through. now granted they didn't say names but i'm guessing part of that was because of me and ER boy being an asshole and talking about me coming down to see him to the other nurses behind my back. so to add insult to injury not only is he an asshole about the fact that i was trying to flirt with him but he turns it around and complains and now all the techs are being reprimanded for "socializing" with the ER nurses. it's not like i was down there 24/7. every once in a while i'd go down and say a little "hello" and exchange a few words, it's not like i made myself comfortable and had an extended stay at the nurses' station. ugh. asshole. if you don't want the attention, just say it. don't be a jerk about it.
speaking of guys, i don't know if i've mentioned the kid that's going into the Lebanon program next year that did his shadow at the hospital forever ago. he's in the high school tech program and is getting his LPN and did an internship for a few hours a day after that but i never really saw him much after that. he did stop in a while ago to tell me he got into the program and that he was looking forward to seeing me up at school, although i should have mentioned we're never going to be in class at the same time. but anyway apparently Trista and Dan think he's got a thing for me and that i should ask him out. granted he's quite cute and if he was older i'd definitely consider it but he's probably all of 18 or 19, the same age as my little brother, and that's just wrong. and for all i know his enthusiasm is just normal and they're misinterpreting it. so anyway he stopped in today to say hi to me and ask how things were going. i guess apparently he was spending the morning in the ER doing his internship thing for his LPN. and of course in walks Dan and his eyes light up and he points to him and then points to me and opens his mouth as if to say something and thankfully seems to think the better of it and shuts up until the kid leaves. but he's no sooner out the door than Dan's all "so you got a hot date tonight" and i rolled my eyes and laughed it off but still, i just wish the kid was older. he's a cutie and totally my type. Dammit, i just don't have any luck up here with guys.
so anyway, enough bitching from me, i'm going to start up a new round of the Sims 2 and wait for NCIS to start, and i'll probably be going to bed early tonight since long boring days in the radiology department make me more exhausted than if i spent the day with tons of patients, i think i just never get the chance to fully wake up. soooo yeah... i'm out!
