Job whhheeeee

It's been a whirlwind of a few weeks. Sooooooooooooooooooo much has changed at my job it's quite scary. I've never had a job change so much in such a short time. Serving tables is serving tables and if you have only excellence in mind, then it doesn't matter where you are serving at. Changing computer systems and entire pratice management policies in less than a month is crazy. Serving the public still is serving the public-you still smile and treat ALL with respect and kindness. But the technical aspect is so different. I know it will get better and someday someone will figure out exactly what we need this program to do so it fits us the best, but daily memos of 'do this instead' is so daunting. What did I do wrong now? I hate that feeling. I liked knowing my job in and out and doing it well. I guess I'm afraid there will always be something I'm doing wrong. I don't want to cost anybody money. I don't want to cause anyone frustration. I don't want to confuse anybody. I also like the challenge-I just want to know I'm going to win the challenge :) I work so hard and truth be told, I've done a lot of it off the clock just to stay ahead. My girls at work are absolutely amazing and I can't wait to thank them. They decided a lunch made by me and so now I am working on completing the menu. We won't all be together again until March, but that gives me time to do my very best. They are so totally supportive of me and always listening to me gripe when things are rough. And they pitch in and help in the most amazing ways. I am the luckiest girl which is what I tell myself when I get superfrustrated. (yes I meant that as one word!) I've been coasting for awhile at my job and it's good to get rattled every once and a while. I know this change is going to last-the transition period that is-for quite sometime and I need to buckle down for the long haul. I like to go fast and sometimes I need to remember to stop and see the big picture for all the small pictures that are in it. I have a major responsibility on my hands and I need to meet it. I also need to let it go when I'm at home. I just like to play scenarios in my head and think of how I can do better next time I am there. I also need to to better here. Life....WHHHEEEEE
