I love getting to work early, because you see things in stillness, when it's quiet and not quite crazy as they will be when the regular day shift starts.
So, I try to be efficient. Yep, I find people who are already there and we work on stuff that might not get done early. Here's what I did recently.
1. I roamed around with our new campus tech guy (aka New Guy). He saved my butt and I got SU work done the other day. (NG is not new to the role as campus poobah, just the Hotel).
2. During roaming, I helped him with his equipment inventory. It's nice to show up when no one's around and get it tagged and checked.
3. If people were around, he got introduced to the staff: on the floor, in the offices, to the docs, everybody (I didn't leave anyone out who I could snatch as they walked by).
4. Really funny introduction: startling the boss when he/she brings in his lunch, coffee and everything first thing.
Intro went kind of like this, after Jess the admin let us in his/her office:
Me (with NG): "Hi Boss, we're doing inventory. Jess let us in."
Boss: (startled) "Hi! " (Wanders in...coffee cup looks full.)
NG: "Sir do you use this device (pointing at inventory item)?"
Boss: "Not really. I need a different one, like the radiologists use."
Me: "BTW, NG, Boss has to look at a lot of procedures where he needs to know where his needles go, by looking at MRIs, etc."
NG: "No problems, Boss. Mr. R (equipment guru) can get you one...or two if you really want."
Boss: "Thanks. One's fine."
Me: "Bye boss." (exit stage right)
You just never know what will happen roaming around the office at all hours.
Stay tuned...
