It has been an eventful few weeks to say the least. I'm not even sure when I last posted.
First of all--last Wednesday I was suspended at Clear Choice Transcription.
May 17
I think I am terminated. I know suspended for sure. A difficult account....too many variables....some of the doctors are easy to understand but 53 different templates for this one account and that doesn't begin to cover all the changes of the Physician Assistants. I did my best, but obviously not good enough. Suspended from the orthopedic group....but left on a hospital account where I am getting no feedback or have resources for information. It is difficult all the way around. I told Michelle (supervisor) I understood completely and she is welcome to terminate me. I really love the work, everything about it....but it is difficult if there is no training. There is an email from her in my box, but I won't open it until tomorrow. I need some time to breathe. No apologies from me....and no blame given either. Just not a good situation.
---------------------------
Later
Opened the email...a very short note telling me to use the same format for an H&P that I used for the Discharge Summary and hoping that I would remember to turn my work in before noon. Randy opened the email for me at 4:30 this morning. (You know how it is!) Anyway...Everything submitted and triple-checked by 8 a.m. She should be happy. I am going to go back to bed, clean my house a little, weed my garden and practice today. I'm not going to check in. Feeling a little rebellious and frustrated. I did request some feedback so I can fill in my blanks. But we'll see. I am not giving up yet. It may all work out. I may write a letter to the owner but not until I can express myself stating only facts and leaving all trace of emotion and myself or Michelle out of it. Goodness. It is a course in leadership/people relations =O)
May 17 8:00 a.m.
I eventually went back to bed. I got up at 11:00 to find two emails offering me an MT position. One I declined as they had no training and they said they would just send me the account info to read and I would be fine...I decided after this experience that would be a no-thank you. But the other is for a family clinic in Michigan. The company is SOAP Transcription. I took their test and sent a resume yesterday. One of the questions was "If you could be any breed of dog, which one would you be and why?" I thought that was hilarious...because you know, border collies cannot do transcription, but they are great athletes =O)
Last night I finally got some feedback on my work for the hospital. I am praying for a change!
===================
Today I have applied (May 22) for 21 job positions. I have a list (6 pages) of transcription companies. So I am doing the research on each one and if they hired new graduates without experience, I am sending a resume and filling out an application. I am to the E's so far. I had to have my prayers though...because job hunting is not only wearing mentally, but emotionally it is a struggle.
I also offended my most beloved daughter-in-law....not on purpose...but I sent an email that was too weird. I should have called and talked to her instead...That is one more vote for actually talking to someone...less chance of a messup. Fortunately, Kellye doesn't stay mad and she loves me enough to overlook my MANY imperfections. I am a lucky duck in that way.
There was an eclipse - the news said it was "annular." Isn't that just the crazies word? I thought it meant like annually? Wrong.

That is the best one.
I went to a wedding reception at The Lodge for Zachary and Marie Call on Saturday May 19. Zachary grabbed me, hugged me and was glad to see me. I was touched and near tears. His wife is beautiful and her dress was lovely. They just bought a piano! I am glad for them. A home with music is always better.
I performed just "swimmingly" at my piano recital on Fridya May 11. I was the oldest student and also the most prepared. It was good. Nerve-wracking, but good.
I played for Shari Gunther in Sacrament Meeting. Wow. She was amazing. I am so grateful for her. She is a good friend to me and always encouraging. Somedays she is FULL of light. I like when she sprinkles it around. We all need someone to be cheerful and encouraging.
I got my hair permed yesterday. It was nice to not have to worry about getting back home on time. Marley went too, and as always, was extremely patient.
Working on three new pieces at the piano.
I got an offer to buy my Gibson mandolin, which I am thinking of selling. We'll see. If I am not going to play it...I can use the money. However, once I sell it, the chances of me buying another are nil.
I got a Mother's Day card from my Julie. How I miss her. Inside was an ultrasound photo and on the back it said, "Arabella Rose." Isn't that a beautiful name. I still don't know how far along she is--when she is due, how she is, etc. I worry about her. I did write a newsy letter and sent it.
There was a great conference talk in the Saturday afternoon session...about Coming To Ourselves. It reminded me of another quote by Saul Bellow (author, The Actualist). About how life is a journey and we are all coming to ourselves. I like that idea. I'm not perfect, I'm just on the journey, and hopefully will arrive at myself...who I am meant to be and where I am meant to be. It's all a process!
OK...I have so much to do and not enough time to do it. Au revoir!
