Today's small blessing - I was able to leave work at lunch and still have clocked 39 hours for the week. This new position does not have OT available and so they give you some time off to compensate for any extra hours you have worked in the week. My plan - get the laundry done! So I am sitting in the mini laundromat on campus catching up on the blog and other computer items.
This is my first experience working in a doctor's office. There is quite a learning curve and I have spent the majority of my first week trying to understand the flow and become familiar with the computer program. There is still no clear cut job description available for me and this is a challenge to my personality. Prior to me starting, there were significant changes to the structure of the organization. They are still trying to figure it all out and put the pieces back together. So, in all honesty, I am not sure they know what the job description is at this point.
The challenge for me is not knowing the future because I function on vision. I see the end result even when the steps have not been clearly defined. Then as the process moves forward, I learn, compensate and mold to the final product. To date, I don't know what the powers that be, see as the future of this medical group. So, I am struggling. It is important that I am a part of the process because this gives me a vested interest in the outcome. When people are not allowed to participate in the solution, they don't really care where the company goes or how they get there. Just getting the paycheck is enough for them.
Part of becoming a member of the team is to not start off like "a man stomping rattlesnakes" as my husband says. You must take some time to learn from those around you, develop relationship with your co-workers and build a level of trust. I will not be respected as a professional if I don't listen and learn underneath them. That entire process requires humility on my part. The other additional component of that is patience, something God has not yet allowed me to obtain. The bible tells us in Proverbs 18, "Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor."
With the weekend ahead of me, I will have time to reflect on what I have learned so far and how I can be integral in the company's future. We are still trying to get to know each other and the bottom line is that takes time."
