One week down

Yes, it's terribly different in the clinic I'm in. With all the construction and learning new stuff, I am thoroughly discombobulated. I'm not horribly exhausted, but my days literally fly by as I work on e-mails and documents I have to attend to on a regular basis.

I still traverse through the Hotel, but lately, with all the construction, there's not much people stuff going on. No patients congregating in the hallways between therapies, not too many outside, since the weather's getting weird again, and not too much activity.

Overall, though, I'm pleased with the change. I like doing this work in the clinic because it is challenging. I am forced to grow, and to make contact with lots of people from lots of places every day.

Despite the fact that some of the work reminds me of being in sales again (the making the numbers part), I feel like I can make a difference: for those patients, as well as for my coworkers and the staff at our sister hospitals, too.

I may be a newbie, but I'm ready to go. I'll keep at it until we get everything done...and right!

Stay tuned...it's a thrill a minute here!
