oh, the drama

nothing happened of course... she said 'love you' and patted me on the head and i said 'love you' and we talked a bit about the doctor and lab and she walked happiness again and then left for work... and i sat here scribbling some words into partial entries and sought motivation to get up and shower and head to that meeting i don't particularly look forward to, meeting with the money people who are too detached from where the money is spent is seldom fun and only sometimes productive... and from the administrative side (assessing my performance), being without the three key purchasing managers (food, medical supplies, and everything else) cuz we haven't had a DON or office manager since july and we haven't had a dietary manager since september has meant the paperwork to corporate has been slow and sometimes late, incurring late fees and credit hits, but in my defense the corporate side is inconsistent and slow in processing payments so even when all of my paperwork is on time, payments are still late way too often because of the short-term contracts they negotiated (payment due upon receipt or within 5-15 days is ridiculous for a corporation that has several approval layers especially since some invoices don't get to me for a month after the accounting department receives them and they come in scanned emails with no subject or identifier and the documents are often challenging to read and i have no access to check on whether it is a duplicate invoice... delays and double work abound in the system beyond my control... but anyway, we'll meet this morning, though i have no idea what might be on the agenda...

tough to do three manager's jobs beside my own... but we are saving a fortune in salaries and hey, i love challenges, right?...
