javamonkey insights into the world of caffeinated monkeys

Thursday, March 13, 2003   Boo-Yah! I win. I think I'm the only person in the world who could win a staff meeting. But I did. I won. First of all, Merry started the meeting by bringing a vegetable soup. Made with canned vegetables and stringy, gristly beef. You could see the square carrots. It was pretty gross looking. I had two big beautiful cheesecakes. I had pounds of cheesecake. One pumpkin cheesecake, one white chocolate cheesecake. Totally rocked. Everyone loved it. So, score one for Jaime, score 0 for Merry. Now, everyone is fed and cheesecaked up, and the staff meeting gets underway. The doctors start to talk about new flea and tick products; a new FIV vaccine; microchiping; and rabies and distemper vaccination protocol. Turns out a feral cat bit him in surgery this morning. They say their piece, and then Merry pipes up. Merry, apparently, has something to say about the surgery book. This should be very interesting, I'm sure. She starts to go on this whole tirade about how there are so many mistakes and surgery appointments for animals that aren't current on vaccines, and how that it needs to stop. Dr. Byers interrupts Merry, mid-rant, with "Shut up, Merry." He then elaborated that I was doing a very good job, and that she could open the surgery book and see that all animals scheduled by me were not only current on vaccines, but also owners were being asked if they wanted heartworm testing or prevention for dogs or feline leukemia/FIV tests and vaccines for cats. Any animals that I had scheduled that just happened to not be current on vaccines were surgeries that were approved prior to scheduling by one of the doctors, and that was documented not only in the surgery book but also in the animal's chart, if she would ever bother to look there. He said that in addition to me doing my job, and doing it correctly, that I also find her mistakes and correct them. He said that if she would concentrate on doing her job, she wouldn't have anything to say about the surgery book and that she was on very thin ice starting a discussion about it. So...woohoo! I win! Everyone knows who is doing their job and who isn't, and when he said that, everyone that works directly with me nodded in agreement with Dr. Byer's statements.
