And that's what this person told me to do. Call IT in the morning, explain the situation, and it should be fixed.

So, when they pushed the 2 tiered ID they wiped anyone who wasn't working on the app. I got a call (5 days later) from our IT dept. This kid (student work study) was the bomb. Turns out they didn't warn anyone that we would lose accessibility and the kids working the desk finally figured it out for themselves and are pretty aggravated. They aree swamped with people calling who can't access on their phone and some who never saw the email (because they lost access) that we needed 2 tiered ID.
I got no respect for the IT folks. Either they are stupid, don't care or don't think past the next minute. This must be the 4-5th roll-out that I have seen a C F since I started there. For someone who does a job where lack of anticipation kills people- it is unimaginable to me that they wouldn't think things thru before they implement.

The fact I've been sitting a lot more often; my hips are hurting because of it. Yet I can't stand up too much because of my foot.

Got a bunch of vaccines.
MMR kind of hurts, now I know why the kids hate it

Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
it is not unusual to have side effects 7-10d after you get that. If you get a little rash and feel like doodoo that is what it is.
Antivax people grind my gears. One of my former patients posted a meme with warnings from 1958 about not giving vaccines to kids with eczema. NO you dope- that was for the smallpox vaccine- something they don't need to give any more because it has been eradicated in the wild. Good glory but people are stupid and gullible. And the people who are disseminating the nonsense should really be flayed alive and then dropped in a highly salinated body of water.

Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
At my job, parents who are terrible at communication. I have to be in Comstock Park by 4:15 PM, and I leave from Holland at 3:15. I pull into a gas station 5 minutes away from the client's apartment and see text messages that were sent at 3:45 PM, saying the client has a fever and we need to cancel. Next time, do you think you could tell me before I leave my apartment?

Beyond that there is a reason you are involved with the family right? a lot of the time these families are struggling to just hang in there. You are probably going to run into a lot of clients who have poor executive function, are not organized or have things happen that are disruptive. Try looking at it that they had the courtesy to text rather than just blowing you off. You can either look at the stuff that could be a positive or go raving mad in a short time. Learned this early in practice when I was in a twist about something. One of the older nurses pointed out troubled families are more likely to totally blow you off so if they acknowledge you that is a mark that you are doing something right.
You might be frustrated but it would be a good idea to figure out how to put that kind of stuff in a box in your head. It is not unusual for parents to find out things when the kids get off the bus. Can't count all the times the parents called us at about that time or even a bit later to have the kid be seen. Also fevers are cyclic and that is the time they start to go higher again.

And it turned out okay. Tonight, I covered the front desk, and will cover the desk tomorrow. We have a "24 Hour Rule" that says the kid must be free of sickness WITHOUT medication for 24 hours before sessions can resume. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll check back in.

not particularly bad
Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
My coworker is driving me crazy. I want her to come down with an illness and just be gone for like a week or something so I can regain my sanity.
In theory, my workload should be lighter with her here, as she can, and should, do most of the day to day tasks in our department. In actuality I think she spends significantly less time working than I do. What's the worst part, is that her time not working is usually chatting with someone (unfortunately I am often the victim) so not only is she wasting her time, but she ends up wasting another employee's time.
Our boss noticed the other day that coworker had punched in and yet wasn't at her desk, hadn't even turned her computer on. I said I saw her talking to someone in Sales. She had been here 40 minutes and hadn't made it to her desk. Was talking to someone that there is no business reason for her to talk to. It wouldn't be bad if this was occasional....but it's constant. Even when she talks about something work related, it takes 3 times longer than it should and half the time I get more confused the more she talks.
If I could just have a few days without her, I feel like I could get caught up on my work, and get all of her stuff caught up too.

Door Dash would be great if it wasn't for the customers. I get a $3-4 base pay plus whatever tip. Yet, some customers don't tip.

Do they know to tip? Serious question. Maybe they think it's all part of the service fee.

Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
I'm sure some think that. I'm sure there are others who think they shouldn't have to tip because they're ordering fast food. Which is fine if you're picking it up yourself, but BS if MT is delivering it to them. And I'm sure given where MT lives, she's also running into a few stingy old fcks who always find an excuse not to tip, even when they eat at a sit-down place.

Re: Gear Grinding 9: I Need a Wine!
It depends on the customer. A couple customers have handed me $10-$15 in cash. However, some customers may not know that. I can't read minds.
Then again, I'd like to see higher base pay per delivery and decrease the need for tips. Or go to a pay per hour method like Panera Bread.
