Yesterday was a good, albeit weird day. It was going well, I got some people in for appts, and then the head boss of our dept sends me a message on teams. "You may get a message from (blank) in communications." Oookay.
It turns out the really sweet compliment I had a month or so ago has wings. The boss and head boss brought it up in a meeting with their bosses, the managers to all our sites, and the head of radiology, and the next day the head of radiology said that she spent the rest of the night thinking about the letter. Now, they want to highlight it and recognize me somehow. So, the radiology communications head is going to be reaching out to me.
On one hand this is super cool, and I'm into it. Yes please, tell me how awesome I am. On the other, I'm being perceived, and I'm not sure about it. Also, define "recognized". Are we talking a nice little blurb in an internal departmental communication? That sounds good. Or are we talking about something public or that goes to the entirety of the hospital? That sounds a little overwhelming.
And of course, there's the part of me that's like "I did my job." I may have done a little more than normal, but hopefully it's what anyone would do for a patient who was so scared.
Then, my new progressive glasses came, which was nice. I'm still getting used to them, but it sure is nice to have one set of glasses that does everything. They're very cute, too.
Then, for dinner, I cooked surf and turf. NY Strip and Lobster. I was worried about doing the lobster, because it's so techy. Overcook for even a minute and it turns tough. Even on sale, they were a bit of an expense, so I didn't want to make them dry and icky. I needn't have worried. I was on top of it, poking it with the thermometer every few minutes, and I was able to pull it out at just 2 degrees past what they reccommended. It was perfect. I had gotten two, because Jess normally doesn't like lobster (but it turned out that they'd only had it from Red Lobster, who always overcooks). I asked them if they wanted a taste, and it turns out that they like lobster quite a bit. Both my sister and I were happy to sacrifice some of mine, because they were enormous tails, and so we all had lobster with butter and were very happy.
Today, our new mattress comes. I'm really hoping that Fedex delivers it to the door and not the foyer, because it's 96 lbs and that will be a bitch on the steps, but we'll see. We probably won't put it on the bed tonight, but we'll see. I'm going to hire someone to take the old mattress, rather than leaning it against the dumpster.
And now, I shall go get pants on and get myself together for work. Everyone have an amazing Thursday!
