• My first day went well....I was busy doing lots of the orientation and training...which boils down to reading lots and lots of info, watching lots of videos (There are 7!) and being filled in on lots of other details.  I even have to get a TB test done! 

  Today is more of the same, I still have 5 of the videos left, most of the policies and procedures binder left to read, some more paperwork to deal with.....It's a rockin' good time!   Actually, it will be nice to push through it all and get it all done!  Then I will be able to get on the floor and working.

  I did actually get some work done yesterday.  The COTA (Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant....That's what I am too now!) Team Leader was chomping at the bit to get me out on the floor and into the action.  He snagged me to observe him treat a couple of patients.  Mind you...the second observation turned into a hand-off of treatment....Which is totally fine.  I have a sneaking suspicion that he wanted to put me through my paces a bit to see how I did.  So, I observed him and he then got to see me.

  I have my little desk area in the office.  It is in a decent spot. (Not that there are any bad spots).  I have my blotter and little bulletin board and little in-box tray.  My own 2' of glory!   Really, we don't spend much time at all in the office, we are usually on the floor most of the day, so the office is empty most of the day.  I will bring in a few bobbles to cozy it up a bit.  Last night, I went to send some pictures (online) to Costco so I could post them and discovered that they make collage prints.  So, I ordered up a 8"x12" collage print of my family that I can post on my bulletin board.  I will pick it up today after work.

  In totally unrelated news:  Poor dh has been up all night.  Some server at his work was misbehaving, causing all sorts of angst for them yesterday.  Then starting last night around 8:30, he was trying to make a back-up server cooperate and move data...actually, I think restore files.....But it didn't cooperate.  I woke up at 11:00 last night...No dh in bed.  1:30....Nope.  2:30...Nope.  Finally at 3ish, I dragged myself downstairs to make sure he was still alive.  He was.....but still trying to fix the server.  Pretty much, I am going to leave for work and he is going to go to bed!  Poor guy.  At least he was here though, it is nice that he can sometimes fuss with the servers remotely!

  K...That's all for now, I still have a few things I need to do before I head out the door. I'd best get at it!
