It’s me again. It’s come to my attention there are some little known facts  regarding the hidden talents of the administrative staff: ( I know diary, that you will keep this to yourself.)

Did you know————-that if we do not have a patient in front of us——we must not be busy.

Did you know————-that if we are talking on the phone, we can also carry on a conversation with someone else simultaneously, so what if we cannot hear all the details of either conversation–Win/Win–right?

Did you know————that we can continue to work through lunch for several days in a row—we bulk up on the weekends.

Did you know————-that we do not respond to pages due to the fact we are filing our nails and restocking the M & M’s—priorities people!

Did you know————that it is possible to complete a treatment plan with 4 seconds notice, as the patient follows you up the hallway, —Plenty of time to get it ready, as the patient waits impatiently staring a hole through us, wondering what is taking so long.

Did you know———-that bathroom breaks are highly overrated—we probably went yesterday anyway.

Did you know———that our secret decoder rings have been discontinued– I repeat—they are no longer available–this means when the mystery patient shows up that we didn’t add to the schedule–or the patient calling to schedule  for “he knows” -(what procedure is that again? and how many units?)—we haven’t got a clue!

Did you know—–that the home for retired/babbling/dazed/foggy/groggy/stupefied/forgetful/mystified admin staff is a highly guarded secret——–you will not find us!
