Good day at work.

Work today was actually not bad.  This was really mostly because tomorrow will be quite light; Rees is gone, Hyde's only seeing a couple of patients, and Luikart is on night call (meaning he's only seeing one page of patients, instead of the usual 3; man's nuts).  This is significant because it means I don't have to search for nearly so many charts as I otherwise might.  I was worried I might find the 8-5 workday too long to deal with, but honestly I was ok.  There was always something interrupting me, and that really works for me as long as it doesn't get too out of hand: it's like multitasking on a computer, which I do constantly.  Would have been nice at times to have Mandi to joke around with, but given the choice between futzing around the pod and going to Bonnaroo (as she's doing), I'm pretty sure I'd choose the 'Roo, too.

Also this has been a wonderful week for pod food.  Drug reps have given us catered lunch all four days so far of this week, and it is awesome.  I'm hoping for some free food tomorrow, to make it a solid week.  Now, I'll admit: I have some ideological qualms about the pod food.  It kinda feels like bribing the doctors and NPs to prescribe the specific drug, and that's just not ok.  At the same time, however... free hot lunch.  I mean, we've had chicken pasta, baked chicken, lasagna, red beans and rice, all manner of vegetable sides, sandwiches, salads, cookies, cakes... I don't even see patients, much less prescribe pharmaceuticals, so I feel reasonably unentangled.  And reasonably well-stuffed.

And I get paid tomorrow.  Woot!
