Day off WHHHEEEEE

I love having Wednesday's off. Work 2, off one, work a day and a half, off 2 more days-very sweet set-up and I couldn't be happier with my schedule. And if there is a Monday holiday-even sweeter. I can get stuff done-laundry, shopping, minor cleaning, love up my howit, sleep in (hahahhahaha), blog, make dr appts (like today)and just have a day to rest if needed. I need it. I'm doing laundry and I have to go to the bank before the dr, and howit is sick of my lovings for the moment and I got her involved in some creative alone time. The past two days of work have felt like at least four. Which isn't bad, but I felt like I worked 48 hours in a row all at once both days. I guess I'm too spoiled w/my schedule and I'm not asking for pity. It's good to be challenged at work. It's even great to learn something new. I'm excited about the change and it WILL be great...operative word being WILL. It's going to take time and I guess I feel insecure that I'm not doing all I should be doing, but I'm only 1 person. And I have done my best to figure out a way not to make the transition harder on the patient. I hate making people wait. I don't mind if I am waiting in a dr's office, but some people can't stand it, and I feel every person's time is important. I just wish there was a way to get more done without costing the company money or taking up my whole day. Oh well, I will just do the very best I can and it will get done eventually. I think I need to figure out the priorities and I would ask, but I don't think anyone knows yet. There are the obvious ones (get the money, get the insurance card, get them seen), but the new little details need a priority list. And I love to multi-task (it's in me-I am a woman, I am a wife, and I'm a mom) and I love to be efficient. And every office is different and I would like to figure it out on my own. I just need more time. Based on what had priority before, I am trying to get an idea from that. But there are about 10 or more extra steps to get a paitent in the system. Once they are in, it will be easier the next time, but the phone and more than one patient at a time, and one computer, and the doctors need help too. I have the best coworkers on the planet and the deserve mad props for being so fantastically wonderful. They support me in such amazing ways-they truly want me to succeed. I don't think I've ever felt such support, caring and appreciation from such a large number of people at once-there are 4 of them, but we are a great team. We are in sync and we know each others work habits so well, that we don't even need to speak sometimes and it gets done. I need to figure out a way to say thanks without spending the major scrillage I feel like spending. Any ideas? I do my best to be just as supportive, but they are truly amazing and I love them. Truly. I have never felt more blessed. If you're reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I will return the favor when it's your turn. You all rock and are my rocks and I'm glad I have a day off to reflect, enjoy and to you I say...WHHHEEEEE
