Miscellany of the dayish
- I need an external but relying-only-on-me reward system for doing all of these charts. Because there are so many, and these are just the charts from the last week and I have to review over fifty of them. For writing I was giving myself chocolates until I ran out of chocolates, though I should also be looking at non-food reward systems because my cardiologist would Disapprove. I actually love chart review, but getting 86 for the first week of December means that someone else is doing something wrong somewhere. They should not get as far as me in that quantity -- I'm the second level. First there is a QA random check, and anything they pull that has something unusual on it comes to me for marking up and review. I got eighty-six of them from 12/1-12/9.
My arm is getting sore from the number of papers I have to shuffle and things I have to write on, and, oh yeah ...
- My eyes are so dry at this time of year I'm having trouble reading anything at all. I am already using natural tears 10x a day, and my oph took me off Restasis because he wasn't sure it was doing anything and it was painful and expensive, but lol my job consists primarily of reading right now because I am in chart review hell.
- Last night I made cookie dough for the cookies for work's holiday party, which is tomorrow. (My work does holiday parties in a way that a lot of people have said they wished their offices do; our holiday party is during working hours, paid and optional ... you can come to the party or you can stay at your desk and work. You're getting paid for that time either way, and you're exempt from having to work, but it's not free time off. It is also an optional potluck; you're not required to bring anything. It is not outside working hours and there is no alcohol.) This is perfectly normal, since I like to let my dough chill for 24 hours, I feel it bakes better.
However, last night I made cookie dough in the living room because there was extermination happening in my kitchen.
It was a very different experience.

What an great approach to office parties! Nurtures the in- as well as the extroverts; sidesteps the discomfort felt by folks on restrictive diets; acknowledges that potlucks are work.
I also have super dry eyes. I use an OTC product which has a tiny bit of oil in it. Lasts longer than the plain saline drops, and much cheaper than Restasis: Systane Balance.
I'm particularly proud of my jar-opener hack to make the tiny lid easier to turn:
I jammed a 7cm tall rubber hand on to the tip of the lid. BIG LEVER
