today was a bit of a shit show.
our clinic gives gifts to the doctors who refer us patients, and those gifts needed to be delivered. as one of the only employees with a car, i was asked to help, and i gladly stepped up. what up $30/hr plus gas money and a possible bonus, to drive around instead of taking x-rays!? so, i drove to work today, and that was all fine and good. i stood there [on the clock] laughing to myself at how disorganized the whole affair was. i'd have been happy to piss away my whole shift carrying gift bags and driving one of our receptionists to drop things off.
BUT! then my boss called. the tech at another clinic was sick, would i be able to cover part of the shift? i couldn't really say no, so we flew thru the gift deliveries, and i worked 1-5:30 at vic park, flying by the seat of my pants as i have no idea how they do things there. it was... interesting. i got thru it tho, and i suppose it gave me a heads-up for monday, as my boss asked me a solid month ago if i would take a shift there.
my work christmas party is tomorrow night. i'm really looking forward to putting on my pretty new party frock, and seeing josh in his suit. i painted my nails tonight, and don't really care that they don't match my dress at all. i used "dear santa" by opi, which is a bright sparkley red, and i love it. apparently the place we're going [via stretch limo, on the boss] is pretty swank. i wonder what they'll serve for eats.
