Yep… the front lobby admitting clerks hate putting together patient folders…Yep. I had a unique job where I had to learn "all aspects of newspaper production'. It was a several year program to develop me into a 'big picture' person that could see how every job/task/process/device affected production. I'd get put into a department, learn every person's job, perform their job, learn how to operate, maintain and repair every piece of equipment, then manage the department for a month. Then off to the next department. It took several years. When departments were short of labor, or a manager would go on vacation, I'd fill in and, while there, make note of production processes and issues that might need attention. So I'd run the inserting machines, repair them, install/upgrade them, repair all the conveyors, stackers, dock equipment, everything in the packaging department. Sometimes it was nice to just take a break and stand there and load inserts. Nothing but you and a few skids of Home Depot ads!
I do it around 7 am each morning after on my feet for 3 hours and don’t mind…
When I was off for two weeks lots of things went to hell… I like to be busy and jump in to help…
Still remember the eye patient who arrived early and saw me with my Stihl blower clearing leaves and then let him in and got him checked in and then put on scrubs to dail in the LensEx laser…
He rolled in on the gurney and said I must be dreaming but you look like the guy blowing leaves in the parking lot this morning…
A little IV sedation and it’s all a dream for most…
