I'm sitting in a mandatory teleconference meeting, being bored out of my skull. Now that I am in management I have to do all sorts of things I was able to slide by before. This one totally bites. They sent four different documents outlining the meeting and giving a play by play. Now I'm listening to the woman actually read the one document line by line. It's like the worst bedtime story ever. I thought it was so funny how they said the teleconference would save time... yet wasted 20 minutes reading something I could have read in about 2 minutes.

Today also seems the day for sending patients over here without alerting me. I'm doing backflips and sending roses to try and fix all the fires that have been started. It's one thing if I fucked up, but all these errors were from other people. Here's one conversation:

Clerk: Hi, have you gotten any information on (patient name)?
Me: No I haven't. Are you trying to admit them?
Clerk: You haven't?
Me: No... *hears other line* Hold on. Hello, Odessa speaking. (also starts searching for fax)
Annoyed Clerk: Hi, this is Admissions. We have (patient name) here and no one knows anything about them.
Me: ... that makes two of us. Let me call you back.
Me: **picks up line with clerk on it* The patient is in admissions.
Clerk: I know.
Me: I have no paperwork.
Clerk: Really?
Me: Who was supposed to send it to me?
Clerk: ... Ummm... me. I guess I forgot.
Me: .......................

Basically this twit wasted five minutes trying to cover their ass with some imaginary paperwork that was never sent instead of saying they fucked up and need to send me something ASAP. I'd scoff but this was the THIRD conversation that went like this. Is it Friday yet?
