Two starcrossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names.

beansideWe're sliding into the weekend! Two and a half more days (for me).
Yesterday was very busy. Yet I was triumphant at getting someone in for a Cardiac MRI, so it was a good day. The patient had called earlier and gotten one at the end of the month, which is SO rare. these normally are booking out to October. But the spouse called back to ask about the wait list and got me. And I'll admit, I tooted my own horn a bit, telling them that they got the right person, as I am nominally in charge of cardiac slots. The order had been put in incorrectly, as it was from an outside doctor and the person who put it in failed to notice the STAT on it. I fixed it, and promised that I'd keep an eye out. And sure enough, there was a cancellation within 2 hours, and he went from end of the month to tomorrow. And I felt superior and smug.
The rest of the day was pretty busy. I called a LOT of patients back, and sent a lot of messages.
Tomorrow, I presumably have the meeting with the big boss. I still question the motive behind this. It's technically an orientation meeting for new radiologists and techs, but my top two managers in my dept feel like this could be important, so off I go, down to the city and the big hospital. At least that's my current plan. I still haven't gotten an invite, so I don't know a ton of when, where etc. I just know it's on the Zayed concourse. I'm going to run out tonight and get some gas in my car, just to have a full tank, and maybe get another $40 out so I have some extra cash.
I'm not really a city girl. I like the things a city holds--good, diverse food and entertainment, but I hate city driving. Fortunately, the hospital is near the Russian church I go to every fall for their festival, so the route is pretty simple.
Saturday, I'll work, and then I shall have a nice weekend. I had blocked Saturday off to go get our cow share, but since I haven't heard from them, I'm assuming that they're not done dry aging. This is sad, as the next few weekends could be tough to find time drive the hour and a half to pick them up. They'll be 100% worth it, mind you. Those were some of the best steaks I've had. It's not a huge share, just like a tote bag full, but it'll keep us for a few weeks.
Okay, time to finish up and go forth and get ready for another busy day. Everyone have an excellent Thursday!
