TPS Reports

When I first started working at my present job, five years ago, I was the only employee. It was just my boss and me. Now we have an office manager, another full-time therapist, and two part-timers. We're a freaking speech therapy juggernaut (note to self: look up orgin of that word).

But that's not my point. My point is that now that we are a company of more than two people, many little hiccups are coming up becuase there are many ways to write reports, take therapy notes, keep track of insurance authorizations, stay up to date with this papertrail called NOMS, and well, you get the idea. So we need a universal way of doing things.

In the past, my boss and I muddled our way through our office work efficiently, and had unwritten understandings of how the work flows around the clinic. But it's not so easy anymore.

So, I have spent most of my downtime at work writing instructions (technical writing, if you will), devising a universal note taking system, writing procedures on how to evaluate and disharge people, and well it doesn't matter.

It is all so mind.... numbingly..... dull.

It makes me grateful that I work where I do. I cannot imagine 40 hours a week of a job defined memos, procedure manuals, and flowcharts. Becuase we all know how badly I'd fail. One thousand memos from 1000 bosses couldn't save me from screwing up my TPS reports. I'm too incompetent to work in an office. Thanks goodness there are jobs like mine that pay you to play with kids.
