recently i decided to exchange my scapel weilding for something a little less stressful...something i could do half asleep AND sitting on my duff. granted my current pay rate reflects the fact that i'm getting paid to sit on my ever widening arse but it's a nice change of pace and horribly entertaining most nights. i am the super night unit clerk of the local ER, which basically means i play with paper, answer the phone, and direct people to their appropriate waiting space.
i've only been working for about 3 weeks but i've figured out a few things and i'll list them here for your benefit.
1: if you've been sick for more than 2 days, haven't seen your doctor, and show up at the ER you will be ridiculed behind your back.
2: if you come in complaining of nondescript pain with no other symptoms, you'll be drug tested.
3: if you show up in the er more than 5 times a year without some major/chronic illness, you will be labelled as a frequent flyer and even though we're no longer leagally allowed to document such cases, mental notes are still made.
4: crazy isn't a legal diagnosis but i'm convinced it should be.
