Today Was A Good Day

In fact, it was probably the best day I've had at this job ever. I got down to medical records a couple of minutes late and... no one was there. The lights were still off and everything. So I turned on my computer and my phone and sort of settled in by myself, enjoying a bit of quiet downtime before work really started. Roughly 30 minutes later, V showed up, fully prepared to turn around and leave again. As it turned out, though, T had called out sick and V was stuck. I happen to like it when T's not there (I know, right, who knew?) and it was pretty slow, so V and I had the chillest morning ever in which we did as little work as humanly possible. It was great.

V, though, had a doctor's appointment, so she had to leave at 1:30. There is another temp part-time in records now, a girl who just graduated high school and may be on the verge of termination, so it was all fine.

Except, the other temp didn't show. As in, she didn't call out or anything, she just didn't come to work today. That means, in three weeks as an employee, she's called out twice, left early once and skipped a day entirely. She may not make it much longer.

So, anyway, V left as planned and my supervisor sent down a woman, Z, who I really like. With almost nothing for us to do. I did the Washington Post crossword puzzle, and read online news and enjoyed other such methods of killing time because the work that trickled in from 2 to 4:45 (when I left) probably took an hour total. And, just adding to the overall awesome, A (the main dental receptionist - he's a lot of fun) bought Z and I coffee from Top Pot at 3:30. Just because.

Best day ever. Monday is going to be such a disappointment.

In other news, I was randomly surfing Facebook and I noticed that someone I went to high school with and actually hung out with a little bit senior year (the other Alexis, for... Ashalyn is probably the only person reading this who might have any idea who she is) has changed massively from when I knew her. Like, she used to be pretty Christian and she dated the same guy for a long time, got into another serious relationship when she went to college, pretty 'normal' middle class white American teenager. Well now, based on Facebook, she's out as a lesbian, no longer religious and has gone pretty dyke-y. It makes me wonder how many EW people she's successfully kept up with, taking into account such big personal changes. Pretty awesome, though, if you ask me.

As of, like, the last year or so, I've managed to successfully keep up with two of my high school friends (Dana and Ashalyn). Hannah... dropped off the face of the earth (I don't even know, but I gave up awhile ago) and I haven't really thought about anyone else in ages. But, hey, two isn't bad! That's more than a lot of people, I think.
