Our specialist and his crew left recently. I hadn't seen them much since I went to the SU, but the specialist, being the old surgeon he is, was as surly as ever. Maybe just a chance to posture before I got out the door. So to be silly, I went and whispered to his senior assistant NP, and got a chuckle or two. I was nice, though, I thanked him for the things I learned while he was around via e-mail. His assistant may come back, so who knows when we'll meet again.
The SU has been hopping recently with the hustle and bustle. As usual, we have our cancellations, but on a recent day, we needed them. The doc can get overwhelmed. I'm just trying to keep him afloat. If we don't have him, we don't have an SU. He has been a joy to work with.
On another note, the Big Cheese told me first (can you believe it?) that he may have a new job for me, that is right in line with my grad school work. I'm so excited. I'm hoping I get it, and the sooner, the better. Even if it is a new position, with new responsibilities, I'm ready. Going to the SU has been a good thing for me, and getting out of the floor environment is refreshing. Yes, every department has something going on, but hope abounds up here. Maybe it's the atmosphere or maybe it's the fact that I feel like I'm wanted.
Nevertheless, even when it's hard, it's making my holidays happy. They'll be even happier when my grad school project is done.
Not long now...back to work! Stay tuned!
