Neurology and Stroke

I work in an office called Neurology and Stroke. I am normally up at the front desk but when my coworkers request off I am used to fill their positions. I don't mind helping out. I think it's a nice change from my normal duties. I also take it as a compliment that the doctors request to have me fill in for their assistants.

It is a little frustrating to see my manager sitting in her office googling recipes for cookies all day when I am filling in for another position and noone is doing my work. The day after I was away from my station I have double the work as normal because noone had time to do my job.

This month I am being pulled even more then normal. I have worked for the head neurologist once a week for the past three weeks. Last week I worked for him on Friday and this week coming I will work for him on Monday. That's two days in a row with noone scheduling new patients, checking charts or verifying insurance. I am going to be so behind!

I tried talking to my manager about getting some help and all she does is shrug her shoulders and say just do your best. The only person I can go to above her is our part time VP and he is out on medical leave for the next couple months.

At least the month is almost over! :)
