Rrawr. What a day. Head dude was fine, meeting was fine (kind of sort of, we are all pretending we are having a good time type thing.) At the end the head doc was like, "So do you want to meet again in 3--4 months and I was like, "Absolutely." But then evil doc was like, "Oh I think it's all FINE," to which I faintly assented, "Yeah okay then..." We compromised on "I could ask for a meeting if it was necessary." Oh how fun for me. I guess we had more practice like, pretending to like each other a bit of fakery is always good. I did get to say to evil doc that a human being in the room with the kid he was late on was better than no human and if it was "something more serious, as I mom I could oh, determine if it needed ice, or ALTERNATELY call 9-11 and/or summon any of the other doctors back from their lunch, who had actually returned on time." Evil doc was like, "No, I think you could DISTRACT the mom from their primary purpose and like, the mom might forget something important."
I was like, "a) I'm not that hot, I don't think and if she was bi, she wasn't saying." That was my most fun meeting moment but we both agreed to like, SUCK it. Like, also head guy was kind of very subtly "The MA has a skillset too, no one knew where you were, it was a two day old rash."
I have also, well always been, as a mom, able to NOT become DISTRACTED from the very purpose of my child's doctor's visit because I PAY for said doctor and if some lady wants to help me with my kid being hyper, well, cool, but I am going to keep in mind I came in for what I think is a spider bite. That remains foremost in my mind. I'm like "Yeah, so he may be hyper but I think he's been poisoned."
I didn't say that part. Then, we had ALL PEDES meeting which in my experience SUCKS 100% of the time. I have figured out why. We are ALL being extorted to do more, better, excellent perfection and meet quality measures that are unmeetable and that is the BORING part. The rest is just HORRIFYING beyond description.
Then everyone is anxious and creepy the rest of the day we all become the dreaded "homicidal and suicidal" because it is IMPOSSIBLE.
If I ever become like, solvent in PTO again, I am taking those days off, although they do check you. But like ONE a year might be AWESOME.
That I was scheduled with 15 patients in 6 hours didn't help. Some of them were erroneous but that is almost worse as there is no way to tell. Then, my boss emailed how is it going? So I told her HR lady and PC Prince (head of our IT department and BOY is he dumb and if even I can tell, that's saying something) denied me Dragon.
I got up in HR lady's grill and she was like, "Did you ask IT?"
I was like, "I cc'd you on all those emails. I think you KNOW."
She was like "I don't understand dragon so you will have to work with him."
I said, "you are over 30 days overdue to research my request. If you don't know what and why Dragon is and how the test version of Windows 10 speech recognition won't work, I fear for things. Maybe you should do some research."
Then she was like, "I don't have to do that as an HR person Erik will get back to you."
My last email to her contained a single word. It was not the one you might imagine.
It was: "When?"
So far, unanswered. I think that woman is SO AWFUL. It's nice to know she hates me too.
So my boss kinda got an earful, I told her I would be writing short notes because I had to.
Etc.
