work situation

Wow I haven't blogged in a long time! I make time (and love) to read a lot of blogs but recently when I try to write a blog I just sit here...wondering what to write about.
WRITERS BLOCK IS TAKING OVER!!!!!!


just to let you all know ... I just sat at this point for 30 minutes! DOING NOTHING!!
I need help lol

Well since I'm at work right now, I think it make sense to write about work!
For 3 years I worked in Lafayette at Arnett Clinic (Clarian partner). I loved my job, I loved going to work & never complained about going to work. I love the people I worked with and the doctors I worked for. I learned so much in the years I worked there. After moving to Indy I worked as a server for a couple month while I took classes at IUPUI & tried to get into their nursing program.

The whole IUPUI thing didn't work out. During the summer I drove back & forth from Indy to Lafayette to work at my old job. After a couple months of that I transferred within our company to a doctors office in Zionsville. I was very excited to transfer & to work closer to home. I could have never imagined how different the offices were going to be.

Since August I have been working at a new office. I am still apart of Clarian so all of my seniority came with me but in every other aspect I started out new. I work as a medical assistant in a internal medicine doctors office. When I first started I remember only one person officially introducing herself. Everyone else just kept to themselves & acted like I wasn't there. Also the doctors were very stand offish, they didn't trust me & it was hard getting to know them. Not to mention there are only 7 people in our office.

Here is an example of how the offices are different -->The doctors I used to work for saw anywhere from 18-28 patients in a day. The doctor I work for now will see anywhere from 4-15 patients a day (for example today we are seeing 7 patients). This makes for a really long day. There are times where I have fallen asleep before at work. I am always asking for extra stuff to do & also do extra steps in my job to make the doctors work easier.

I didn't like this job in the beginning at all!!!!! It has kind of grown on me but I still feel like I could be utilized a lot more! I wish I had better relationships with my coworkers. I talk to them & I'm friendly with them but everyone is very quiet & reserved. A couple of people in the office have complimented me on how great I am doing but every person is stuck in their routine & I do not feel apart of the team at all. Before I had a say in what happened in the office & my input with respected. Now I am talked over & not given a say at all. I am not saying I should have all of the responsibilities as a person that has been here forever but I should have the chance to voice my opinion & especially because I have seen how different office have worked & been ran effectively.

Well that is my rant for the day ... I'm not saying I hate my job... I just don't love it & wish I felt more of a team member :)
