And so it goes...

This morning, I left the hotel to do a couple of errands. Found myself near the dialysis clinic where I was supposed to go tomorrow morning for orientation, so I thought "Well! I'm going in! Introduce myself, find out where to go tomorrow and at what time."

They never heard of me. Had no plan to orient me. No staff available. No orientation classes anywhere in the city.

Then there was a gazillion phone calls: my recruiter, her manager, the clinic's education supervisor (on vacation), the Show Low manager, and HER supervisor. I was sent back to the hotel to await a plan.

I REALLY hated getting the phone call (at 3 PM) that said "Pack it up and drive to Tucson. You'll start orientation there tomorrow at 7AM."

Turns out (although it's still unclear exactly what went wrong) the education coordinator that OK'd my start date went on vacation and didn't quite communicate it properly...

So I'm in Tucson. Plain old motel, but the room has a fridge, coffeepot, microwave. I gave my frozen  pizzas to the desk manager here at the motel. Threw away 1/2 carton chocolate almond mocha ice cream.

Grrrr......
