dchenesI am such a sucker. I let the cats stay in my room last night because I know I'm going to be leaving them home alone until Sunday. Therefore, I didn't get any sleep worth speaking of. I knew that was going to happen, too.
It being the last day of work before I take time off, it is, of course, insanely busy here. I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that everything is unnecessarily complicated lately. Dr. H's other office left me voice mail asking me to call them. When I did, it turned out that what they wanted was to ask me to ask Dr. H to call them. Why couldn't they have either (a) left me voice mail asking Dr. H to call them, or (b) called him directly and told him what they wanted?
Second example: Earlier this week, Dr. H emailed the Dean of Admissions with cc to me, asking the Dean to admit a "special student" (which merely means a clinical observer who doesn't treat patients) for six months starting in January. He didn't tell me that what he wanted was for me to write a letter to the Dean asking for this, so this morning he asks me if I wrote "letter for applicant" yet. Huh? I thought the e-mail was the request for the admission process to get started. It turns out the e-mail was the request for the letter requesting to start the admission process, except I'd swear that wasn't what it said.
Anyway, here I am, waiting for a lecturer and the lunch for his lecture to show up, playing Carmina Burana to attempt to keep my brain awake, looking forward to 4:30, and hoping it doesn't rain tomorrow. Happy weekend, all!
