work and stuff
I don't think I will go to TNK (knitting) tonight. I don't feel like it right now. Plus, I have to get ready for University, and make sure my handouts and things are all together so I don't look like a dummy when I'm teaching.
Kira is wrestling with the dogs, a game that will very likely result in crying in, oh, about 30 minutes.
Travis is shredding documents with a vengeance! Heh. Actually, he's going thru a bunch of old mail and crap and deciding what needs keeping and what really can become packing material.
I continue to struggle at work with the mountain of stuff I seem to just keep doing over and over again. One thing I despise is stuff that, no matter how long you work on it, nor how complete you think it is, it's never done. Or at least it seems that way. I think there must be fifty or so pages of billing and other information that I have handled, processed, done math on and faxed three or four times alone. Very frustrating. Hopefully that kind of thing will subside, now that my staff has had more training in how to be detail-oriented when completing your daily billing. I hope so. I really dislike having to do the same thing over and over again.
I had to do a clinical visit today to another facility, since there was no SLP for the job. I spent my afternoon in Radiology, doing a swallow study on a nursing home patient. Since there was no available SLP to do the work, I was asked to do it, and although it made my morning utter hell, it was nice to actually get home on time for a change.
I probably should have gone back to my office to weed through more billing, but I was afraid to, since it was already 2:30 and going to the office for a half an hour would be an exercise in frustration for sure. Tomorrow *is* another day, after all.....
Besides, I'm supposed to work six hours a day. I've managed that *once* since January 3rd.
I think another month, and then things should settle down.
I don't feel inspired to do much these days. I have a project waiting to be cut out on the sewing table....a new denim bag for my knitting....but I need a few things for it, and I haven't felt like going to the fabric store to get them. No glasswork, either. I *did* finish the back of my poncho, and cast on and started the front, but that's about it. I'll probably knit tonight, but Travis wants to go to fight practice, so I think I will stay home and knit. Winter blahs are setting in, I think. Time for contemplation and sitting on the couch.
That's all for now....I'm hungry, so dinner should be in the making.
More later.
