so i walk in, one coworker is doing paperwork on the side desk, another is doing paperwork at the left phone in front, and the third is doing nothing. A patient comes in for OB. Guess what the person doing nothing does?

Brings her over to the side desk where the person is doing paperwork is located. Here’s the kicker though: there’s a wide open computer on the right side of this person, not two feet away. not being used. so right away, I’m in a bad mood.

then the person doing paperwork on the far side goes back to it after a while, and she gets done with another section of it, and then the lazy person smiles and says to everyone “I can’t wait until we don’t have to do these anymore!”

Now…since she wasn’t doing them in the first place, and not helping out, I decided to completely ruin her day and bring her up to speed on what is ACTUALLY happening with this paperwork. I told her that instead of having them in that form, now they’re going to be faxed to us. We’re still going to have to do them in a form that she hates doing. She replied “But then we won’t be able to read them, or do them? I thought lab was going to do all of them!”

I quickly and utterly destroyed that notion by replying that we would have to do them, and that she in particular would have to learn to do them when they came over the fax, and not ignore the work like she does now. She told me that I didn’t need to put it that way, and that I shouldn’t be so mean. I told her I’d stop being mean when she stopped saying stupid things. Well…in essence I said this…it wasn’t QUITE so simplified, it was more layered than that. But the following is true.

This statement was followed by 15 minutes of jackass coworker jokes about how nastiness should be checked at the door when you check in.

Also during that 15 minutes was me imagining working at a job without stupid ass statements like that.

Calvin and Hobbes?

but apparently…

my 6th night in a row, and three more following.

yep. 9 nights in a row.

I hate this place.

Shut up. You and eve both. “If I was a Rich Girl” indeed…hardly a rhetorical question is it? You both are rich beyond people’s wildest dreams, and if you were to suddenly donate it all to a worthy cause then, THEN I could see a justification for singing this insipid pop/rap/garbage song.

Oh yes, and you’ll be burning in whatever hell awaits entertainers who mess with classic songs from musicals. So shut up.

Oh, and Vh1? Funk you for playing that damned song 4 times in 2 hours at night.
