Friday was interesting. First I had a woman walk into my office and say her department would like me to come down the hall and describe my job in detail to them. WTF!?! I know I'm not at an MSO level, but you would think they would be more courteous then to expect me to just walk into a meeting unprepared. Especially with the specialists she works for. Apparently they are the whiniest, most demanding doctors of all the practices. So I balked. First I said I would like to have had some notice to see if my boss wanted to come. Then the guy who sits with me added 'Oh, and they haven't even given out instructions yet'. To that the woman said, 'Okay, I'll just tell them you haven't started'. Whoa whoa whoa... Back the adding things in my mouth train up. From there it was a polite pissy match with me saying that we ARE accepting patients, but the offices just haven't gotten notification. Then I agreed to go down. The meeting went well and I managed to answer the barrage of questions thrown at me. It was like dodging bullets. In the end they thanked me and I walked back, feeling pretty damn good about how I handled it.

Later on I called my boss to ask some questions regarding the meeting I have on Monday (today). I mentioned the on the spot meeting and how I had said she might want to come. Bad move. She said that I should be able to do these things without her. She was right. I apologized and she backed off, saying there was no need to. That she was mentoring me to this position. I wanted to tell her that it's tough with all the rule changes, but I couldn't. Instead I moved on and told her about how I handled it and the issues I wasn't sure about. To that she said the woman who came in to get me said I did an excellent job and the doctors probably suggested I come in when they ran out of things to whine about. I can only imagine what else she told my boss, but whatever. It was definitely a learning experience. I just need to step up and get my ass out there.

I've taken on another Sims2 site to moderate. I just hope I can spread myself around. I don't want to spend so much time online (which I have been) simply policing sites. I'd like to also spend time with Jake and play the game. In that order. I think once things settle down I can find a balance. Right now I'm so stressed from work that balance is like a seesaw. Soon... It'll be better soon.
