Another Monday!

As this is the first series that involves my new job, allow me to write out my day. I begin each morning with a call at 6:30am from Bill who's been kind enough to wake my lazy bum up each morning. I don't think I'll ever get used to this.

Monday's, after I clock in at work, I head over to the grocery store to buy the radiologists their breakfast (typically juice, milk, fruits, and yogurt) before collecting the morning deliveries and heading out to Dayton. After I drop the films off at Dayton, and find any backup CDs that are needed, I head back into Carson to check in storage for films, pick up the morning mail, drop off films at an Urgent Care, deliver reports to an office only open in the morning, and pick up films from the hospital. Then, take all this back to the office before helping out in the file room.

Once I finish lunch, I head down to another Urgent Care, this time at the south end of town. Once I deliver those films and reports, I return to gather the afternoon deliveries. I take those to two other Urgent Cares in Carson, deliver reports throughout the doctors offices, and then return to a smaller hospital to collect or drop off films. If the day's quiet, I then go back to the file room, otherwise I finish off my day by running specimens from us to the main hospital.

So that's how my day at work goes, but on Monday's I've been invited to join some folks from the Nugget (mix of friends, customers, and employees) for $1 bowling at the old bowling center in town. I typically suck, but I do have fun. Lately, one of the guys noticed how hard and fast I was throwing my personal ball and when he picked it up, he was dumbfounded to learn I only throw a 9 pound ball. He suggested I use an 11, but that threw me off balance, so I'll experiment with a 10.

Came home, hung out will Bill for awhile, before he had to get ready for work, and I had to head to bed. Another good day, in my opinion.
