I started work on Monday the 27th. Needless to say it was the longest day of my life. I work at a HUGE dental office. 4 doctors a day, 6 hygienists a day, and i can't count how many front desk and assistants there are. We communicate through ear pieces. I work 3 days a week/13 hour days. Yes, 13 hours of cleaning teeth. My hygiene friends understand how crazy this is. Anyways I thought I would go in to work and be trained on the new software, protocols, papers, etc. because all of it is so different from what I am used to. NOPE. I was booked with patients all day long and I didnt even know how to turn on the computer. I guess there was so miscommunication with the employees. So I pretended as best I could and went to work. Some people maybe did not know what I wasnt trained on anything and were not the nicest. So a combination of not knowing what to do, mean people, pms, and exhaustion from moving equals......yep you guessed it! CRYING!! I cried on my first day of work! It is not like me at all and I was so embarassed but all I could do was cry. I know people talked about it after because the next day dentists I hadnt met yet were coming up to me and saying "so i heard you had a rough first day." O great. Anyways, things are getting better. I'm getting use to the long hours, crazy protocols, and "constructive criticism".
Enough about my job. Matt is SO busy with school. When they said I wouldn't seem him they meant it. He's gone all day at school, comes home, eats dinner, and then he's off to studying til bedtime. What a life right!? It hasnt been too hard yet because I went to California for a wedding last weekend then my mom, sister, and grandma came to visit so I havnt' had a dull moment yet but I'm sure this not seeing him thing is gonna get old real soon. He really likes it though and has met a couple guys who are lds in his class. We are having a bbq on saturday so I can meet their wives and maybe make a friend or two :)! Since I do not know onc single person in Montana except for my husband and my doggy. Anways I will fill you in on my fun weekend getaway to cali on my next post cause my hubs needs to use the computer for studying...go figure.
Looks so beautiful! And so roomy! I'm jealous! I'm so sorry your first day was so rough. First days are always tough but i'm glad it's getting better! :)
ReplyDeleteYour house is darling! Getting adjusted to a new life is hard! I hope you are able to find good wives to be friends with cause that helps a ton! Good luck with work it sounds like you are super busy!
ReplyDeleteHi Caitlyn - In regards to the comment you left on my cheesy garlic stick post. Just to double check, did you go to papa murphys or papa johns? I've never come across a papa murphy that didn't sell the dough before, but I'm sure each store is different.
ReplyDeleteIf it was papa murphy's, you should ask them why not? Maybe they aren't aware that there is a demand for it in their area.
On a side note - I hope you are enjoying Montana. That is actually where I grew up and I'm about to move back home in a few weeks. I am so excited! Where about in the state are you? I'll be in the SW part of the state where it is really green and pretty. ;)
