Two days ago our supervisor came into our office because Dr. Neuro had dictated a report.  It was obviously an EEG. She did not know what template it went on.  Well, co-worker (super MT) just jumps up and said “I don’t know, you have to call home MT 1 and home MT 2 because they do cardio”  Well mind you, super MT has only been there a year.  I have been their 8 years and I have done ever single report that hospital offers including cardio, especially cardio because that is the first thing that pops into my Q.  (Doc dictate EGGs under cardio, it is up to us to put it in the template).  I found that insulting.  Then yesterday one of our male MTs needed help deciphering what a doc said.  Well super MT jumps tall cubicles to help so I just kept on typing.  She could not understand it either so she gets someone else who is not even an MT to listen.  It is petty but I find it insulting. I don’t do her that a way. 

I am more of an introvert.  Super MT has a lot of friends that come in our office just basically gossip about the other people who work next door. I try to tune them out because I only have 8 hours to get my lines in because I have to be out by 4:30 to pick up my two children.  I cannot stay late like they do.  I used to go to lunch with super MT and her buds but stopped lately because I joined a gym and I go work out with another girl who happens to be on the top of their gossip list.  They don’t approve of her lifestyle, which it is questionable but it is her business.  She is a pleasant person to work out with we just happen to have a common interest in exercising.   All they wanted to talk about at lunch is talk about some TV show I have no clue what it is because I don’t have time to watch TV.   I have 2 small children and when I get home I have to hit the ground running with supper, dishes, grocery store.  I also have also turned down their outside parties, 1 because I could not find a babysitter (alcohol is involved at their parties) and the last one was because I was running on fumes until payday and a $20 meal just for me was way out of budget. 

I have explained most of the above to her about babysitting, interest in loosing weight, tight budgets and needing to get my line count up which is why I don’t talk as much and go to my introverted ways (they called me an introvert and super MT is an extrovert), not that I don’t watch TV and could care less what the people next door are doing and really could care less what my workout buddy is doing in her spare time.  Then again I may have told them that.  Should I be bending over backwards to be in their crowd?  I didn't know being their best friend was part of my job description.  I don’t think they are all as great as they think they are but I don’t see why we cannot at least respect each other as professionals.

My son is having some dental issues and I would like to switch him over to sugar-free drinks...anyone know of any contraindications to an 8 YO consuming artifical sweetners?  He doesn't drink many soft drinks, mostly Gatorade and sweet tea, milk and water, but I'd like to put Splenda in his tea instead of sugar.  Thanks, y'all!

and hypoallergenic.  Works very well on those burp-up stains, ya know, the ones with Poly-Vi-Sol vitamins. 

I don't suppose many of you are old enough to remember cloth diapers and diaper pins, plastic pants that went over them to contain leakage, Dreft detergent or 20 Mule Team Borax and heaven forbid knowing how to clean them!  Ask your grandmothers how it was done.  And you think you have it rough with disposable diapers!  Cat
