BS: Good News - new job for Becca72

This morning I was offered and took the Lead position for my department. I will be overseeing transcriptionists and schedulers in the Radiology department at the hospital where I work. It'll be a fun new challenge with lots to learn and a pretty decent pay raise to boot. Finally, some good news!

Hopefully I won't be pulling my hair out and mumbling to myself in 6 months....

Not bad. Probably better than being Chongo's secretary, all things considered.

That position is open now, by the way. The last girl just quit.

I don't think they could pay me enough for that, Little Hawk...

The pay is actually...well...quite modest.

But think of the experience to be gained on such a job!

In a nation wide recession, that is doubly good news, Becca.

Sins,
I'm going to take full advantage of the leadership classes they offer. Apparently "go sit down and shut the F*** up" is not an acceptible response from the supervisor...who knew?? :-)

Yeah, Becca. It's not a good answer to a supervisor either.

Mine asked me if i was banging the "XYZ" accounts meaning calling all of them ASAP. I demurely replied that my plan was to call them on the phone.
He blushed and muffled laughter was heard throughout the office.
I couldn't help it.

Becca... "go sit down..."

My aunt was at the radiology dept of our local hospital a while back. Been lots of stuff in the newspapers about wait times for everything. A doc came in with her daughter who had a broken ankle and made a real pain of herself LOUDLY about having to wait for service, even asking the receptionist, "Do you know who I am?" The response was, "Yes, and so do most of the other people who have been sitting here waiting patiently for their turn."

I have been to that doc's clinic with my aunt and with my mum... while there, I have seen other patients, who had to drive five hours to her clinic, wait for over six hours.

I'd like to say those words to her!

Well done, Becca. Hope you really enjoy your new job. :0)

Good on that receptionist, Gnu. Doctors are only human and most of the ones I work with remember that fact...

Rap,
I'll start with the 6', please. Wouldn't want to overdo it on my first day. :-)

Yeah, well, what else would you say, Kendall? "I'm so disappointed in my daughter. Sure, she's drop-dead gorgeous, was a self-made billionaire before she could walk, has presented me with a wonderful son-in-law and three fantastic grandkids, won the Nobel Prizes for physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace, but you know, she can't use a fly rod to save her soul and her rendition of 'Bonaparte's Retreat' is simply not up to my standards"????????

Thanks, all. I don't usually like to pat myself on the back but this is a big step up for me and 2 years ago at this time of year was a very dark period for me so I'm glad for the turnaround.

And Rap, I've never even used a fly rod so for all anyone knows I could be fantastic at it.
