Sometimes I really hate my job! I will never understand somethings about what I do for a living! And what I continue to put up with day after day!!! I think if I write it down it may help! Probably not but it is worth a shot...
1) I have the worlds lamest boss. I have no idea what the man does all day long. Other than annoy the heck out of me. He is always walking around looking like he is important. Well here is an idea. DO something to make you important!! He always like to run everything by me. Why? I have no idea. I could not care less that he has decided to change our Coban. Or that he is trying to get us child size masks. And I can see for myself that he got the sign moved. He does not need to tell me in a 15 minute conversation. It is now directly over my head. I will start praying that ceiling gives out and I happen to be under it. Then he can have something to really talk to me about! Please do us all a favor and find a computer to hide behind!!!
2) I take the brunt of the anger from the patients. When I do not have orders from your Dr office it does no good to get mad at me! I simply have the folder for them to place said order in. I understand that they told you they would bring send it to the lab. I don't know how to tell you gently, but they LIED!!! I believe they had every intention of getting it to us. But for what ever reason that did not happen! It is not in my control. SO treating me like dirt is not going to do anything for you! However it will help me to practice self control and not "Miss" you vein when it comes time to draw you blood. And for that I am thankful, seeing that self control is an important attribute.
3) I have to say the same thing to adults over and over. I am not talking about my elderly patients who are hard of hearing. I have no problem raising my voice to allow them to hear me! I am talking about middle age, hearing adults. We are not talking about rocket science material here folks. I am simply asking you to follow simple instructions. "The restroom is the second door on your left. Place the sample in the pink bucket on the counter when you are done. then you are free to go." Sound's pretty easy right? (Given that you are in a state to actually produce a sample.) Well I can tell you first hand that this statement will blow your mind when put to the test! Everyday I have multiple people walk the sample right past the pink bucket, through the waiting room and to my desk. "Here is the sample, where do I put it?" Really, you think I am making this up. I am not, I would not joke about something like this. We are talking urine in the waiting room! I don't get it at all. Life must be really hard for these people. This is stuff Launa's 5th graders could master!!! Why then do we have such a problem?
Well I guess that is enough freaking out for now! I need to save some of my issues for a later date! And I think I might feel a little better! But only a little.
Oh wait one last thing. Can anybody tell me why it is so hard to place the pen back in the pen holder? All day long people wave them in my face and hand them back to me. Excuse me but I do not remember handing it to you in the first place. So what makes you think I want it back! See that big pen holder that you got it out of? Here is an idea...Put it back in there!

Hahaha. I love hearing you "scream". As funny as it is, I do also feel your pain. Here's to getting rid of your weird boss. I think that would solve a surprising amount of your woes.
ReplyDeleteI just saw on FB that you have a blog! I added it to my list on my blog :). The other day on my FB status I said something about being sick and tired of stupid people... one of my friends commented this, I thought you would get a kick out of it:
ReplyDeleteJohn Wanamaker, founder of the stores that bear his name, once confessed: "I learned thirty years ago... (not to fret) over the fact that God has not seen fit to distribute evenly the gift of intelligence."
I love it! lol, good luck. Working with the public is a pain in the rear.
