Another long week came and gone. Friday was an exciting day, and quite unexpected. We started the day with a tray temp track, which was pretty easy and delicious. I had a turkey dinner at 9:30 in the morning, no big deal. After that, we headed over to another building and mannn we didn't know what we were in for.

Basically four of our precetors switched spots with us. We became the supervisors and they assumed the role of our food service staff members. Then, we had to give them oral warnings and written write-ups. And - they gave us worse case scenarios. And - they videotaped all of this! What's a worse case scenario? Outrage. Throwing the papers at us. Arguing. Excuses. Yelling. Lashing out and telling us they walked in on their husband with another man! Needless to say it was tough to keep a straight face.

But, overall it was one of the most beneficial sessions we've had so far, at least to me. When I take over during the professional staff experience and I have to discipline a staff member, I will be ready. And if anything, this experience really exemplified the dedication and enthusiasm that our preceptors have for us. They were very encouraging and while it was a funny/serious, I got so much feedback, I think I can take on this challenge if I came to it again.

All I know is, these weeks need to keep going quickly...
