The Fall and Rise of Alby

Posted in Self-indulgence, Work at 8:35 pm by alby

Well what a day!

Tuesdays are a long day for me at work.  Start at 8 and finish at 5.30 with 30mins for lunch.  Doesn’t sound too bad but when the diary is full it makes for a hectic time.

More so today as I’ve loads to do before tomorrow.  Student diary to organise.  Work out who’s going to have to have time booked off when for student supervision purposes.  Letters that need to go out today, referrals to go through (which ones need to be urgent etc), dealing with late patients and problems of other staff.  Oh yes and there was no receptionist today either.  This means that if a patient is late then there’s no-one handy to let me know.  This means multiple trips to the waiting area, just to check they’re not late.

Patients are allowed 10 mins before we can say we’re not going to see them.

So why, on the busiest days, does everyone show up 9 mins late?

It means there’s less time to see them, because of the 3 or so trips to the waiting area there’s been no time to do any of the other jobs I need to do either.

And that was me today.  All day!  Just hectic.

Failed to get a load of letters done and no time tomorrow either.  Grr, they’ll have to wait until Tuesday (when naturally I have a full diary again so still may not have any time).

So that was the “fall”.

Got home to find that my dad has decided to get a new car; which means I get first dibs on his old one.  Newer and comfier and more reliable than my current one.  Huzzah.

Oh and I got my certificate from the Pilates people. I am now a qualified Pilates trainer.  Whoot!

And an 80% on the exam (a mainly subjective exam it should be noted) and my droppy area was “you need to practice the movements a little more” so I can demo them better.  But I sort of knew that one.  Oh and apparently I “need to highlight positives as well as negatives”.  Me negative and picky?  As if.

A better end than beginning to the day.
