Well today was day 5 in a row of working, which isnt a big deal to most people but I work 10 hour days.... one was only 5 hours.. but I am 31 wks pregnant in two days only get one day off and then work three more 10 hr days in a row.... That puts me at 8 of 9 days in a row working for 75hrs... Im exhausted.
Ive been having a lot of contractions too.. not like labor ones, braxton ones, but very irritating. My stomach gets so hard that it hurts to move.
I was very frustrated at work today... I am an assistant, but that doesn't make me an idiot. The doctors treat you like crap most of the time and I had about had it today. You can only do so many things wrong in a day before you want to quit. I hate when your boss can do no wrong, like they have never and will never make a mistake. Even when they do make a mistake they will turn it around and find a reason why it was my fault. I hate that, take some frickin responsibility.
I especially hate when they ask me to do something I get up to do it and then they yell at me because they need something else.
Example: I need a new 330 bur, I say right now, they say yes, I get up to go to lab, they yell when I get four steps away, I need suction, I need suction...
Um, which would you like? I can only do one at a time, I know you need suction you dont have to tell me give me one frickin second and I will get your bur and get my butt back to where I can suction for you...
Example: I asked permission to take xrays on a pt. I ask what would you like
Dr replies " 4 bitewings and a Pano"
I reply for like the million'th time " regular insurance will not cover 4 bwxs and a Pano on the same day"
Dr " then just take 4 bwxs"
I take 4 bwxs
I tell doctor Im done with the bwxs
Dr " why didnt you take a Full mouth?"
I reply" you told me to take 4 bwxs"
Dr" no I said take a FMX and 4 bwxs"
( um no you didnt, you never said take a fmx, you wanted a pano and I told you insurance wouldnt cover it, like I have told you day after day.) ...( besides a FMX includes bwxs so it wouldnt make any sense for you to tell me take a fmx AND bwxs)
But I am the just an assistant so what do I know.
I know Im there an half hour before you everyday pre-setting up your ops, sterilizing your instruments, and cleaning your office.
I still there an hour after you leave, closing your office, running your backups, ordering your supplies, pouring your models, calling the labs, confirming the appts, stocking the ops, calling support and sitting on hold forever to fix the computers yet again, cleaning the instruments, writing the charts, scrubbing the floors, vacuuming, cleaning the windows, calling in prescriptions answering the phone....
but you will come in tomorrow and yell at me because I forgot to call the guy to fix the door.
Thanks for noticing.
I deserve a raise
Thanks for letting me vent!
