The Working Life.

Ohhh so THIS is what it feels like to be a full-time working girl.  It's Thursday night, I finally ate supper at 8:00 p.m. and I'm in bed ready to turn out the lights at 8:35 p.m.  Thank god for Fridays.  Tomorrow marks my first week @ my first big girl job :) So far- love it. Upsides:  Makin dolla dolla errday, days go so fast, meet new ppl everyday, I feel like I am making a difference by helping the doctors make decisions in the patients primary care and feel the patients really appreciate all I do, and yeah I guess that about sums it up. Downfalls: Supper time is now 7 p.m., after five 8 hour workdays and five 1 hour workouts I feel like exhausted jello, I have to stick people (sometimes twice) and cause them pain which kills me :(, and I still don't know where the fire alarm is or if we even have one in the clinic. Anyway, so far I love my job and everyone at the clinic.  People smile, say hello, and ask how are ya everywhere I go :). It is completely laid back in the lab, it does get busy in the mornings and when there's only 2 of us we have to do a lot of multi-tasking. I do a LOT of phlebotomy and am getting better everyday..I like this part of my job because I get to have that patient contact instead of just running labs all day and not being able to see the patient whose blood you are testing.  I can't even think right now I'm so tired! I have to go in at 7:30 tomorrow which means 5:40 a.m. wake up time!! O joy. Dewayne is teaching me all about the QC and what he does before we all get there at 8. My supervisor is out for awhile because his wife just had a baby, and Dewayne is going to be out for 4 weeks coming up for shoulder surgery so it's all in my hands baby!! Well myself and another girl, Courtney. I think I started at sort of a bad time but sort of a good time too because they really need the extra help right now! Week 1. Check. Good night!!
