Early mornings

SO - get pumped (maybe?), because tomorrow through Saturday, then Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of next week will consist of shifts from 6am-2pm. 

Doing what?

Riding an elevator. ALL. DAY. 

Yessir, no joke. But - it's all for good reason, believe it or not. Because the entire hospital will soon (ok, two years) be going to room service, the hospital is in limbo with whether or not PFANS will get a designated elevator to use. The hospital refused to fund for a contracted company to come in, so they use us for free labor. We are basically going to be seeing when elevators are going to have the highest traffic, who is using them, where they're going, how long it's taking, and if it's ever being held when it's not supposed to be. 24 hours a day.

So, this is our big food services management project and we'll be turning in a huge report with lots of figures and tables, so it's not as easy as it sounds. It's also not going to be easy hopping on the highway at 5am, but it's better than some of the other shifts, which the other two shifts are 2pm-10pm or 10pm-6am. Yikes. 

Our project wrap-up for last rotation went really well. We were all pretty much fried by the end of the day, even when we only had an hour long presentation scheduled that day. Everyone seemed to love hearing about all of the experiences we had and it was a very informative, fun, and interesting three weeks.

So lets just hope the next three weeks fly by just as fast. The little social life I have is gone. Good thing I had tons of fun this past weekend up at Central. Hopefully Thanksgiving will be here before I know it - that would be wonderful.
