Today was a day of trayline! The shift started at 6am, which meant I left the house at about 5am-ish. ROUGH. Either way, we started off the day by watching trayline do breakfast and how things work. When they were done, we checked and approved staff clock-in and then helped out with Meals on Wheels. We did sweeps of the area for quality assurance and then ate lunch.
The whole day was honestly a blur.
But, for lunch we did get to order trays and do a tray audit. Another brave intern ordered the dysphagia pureed diet. She got pureed and shaped carrots, pureed and shaped beef, really runny cream of chicken soup, custard, and pureed and shaped pears. Honestly, in all, it wasn't that bad. Definitely something I wouldn't order, but if I had to eat it, I would.
After that, we shared our regular diet trays with her! Then, it was out to trayline to supervise. We basically just walked around and made sure everyone was all set with everything and made runs back and forth between stations. We had to make a substitution because they ran out of tater tots, so we subbed mashed potatoes. Just some of the quick-thinking things that supervisors do on a daily basis. We then helped out with Meals on Wheels again, then called it a day at 3pm.
Tomorrow? Same time, same place.
But, we did get the lists of people who are coming to the open house on Saturday. I'm so excited to give tours! I know exactly how these potential interns feel, only because I was in their exact spot a year ago and just as nervous and lost. It was an awesome experience though and definitely solidified my urge to attend U of M's internship - where I am now and loving it.
