BUSH DIARY OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 1996:
10-1: Went to vote didn't have to wait too long to get that completed.
ALSO was notified that Beloved Leader would be departing. She disappeared about noon. She has ten days to vacate her quarters.
10-2: The HR guy at ASNA asked me to consider taking the manager job. Horoscope today said, "Don't take first offer." Huh.
Just read in the local paper that this years Dividend Fund check was in the amount of 1130 dollars. Well. Alaska Airlines is offering four rides and upgrades to first class. Me! Me! Me!
We all got the day off as thanks from the Mayor for the election.
I see in the Anchorage newspaper that the Colville River site has been estimated by ARCO geologists to be capable of producing 60k barrels of oil per day when the field is developed in 2000. The field should last for 25 years.
I am official caught up at work. Got all the uncoded inpatient discharges rounded up and completed. What a relief.
More oil bidness: The Russians are apparently shipping to the Tesoro refinery. The Russian oil is sweeter than North Slope crude and makes better and higher octane fuel. Comrade!!
10-5: Went to breakfast at Pepe's. The waitress asked if we wanted the usual and we yepped. It was delicious.
We ordered large Sony TV from AC and it was delivered Saturday. The old went to the foyer with a "free" sign on it. It promptly went to a new home somewhere.
10-9: Beloved Leader took the evening jet.
Moving some furniture at work, rearranged a few things and consolidated a few things and squeezed out a little more elbow room.
10-11: Carolyn McClintock turned in her resignation. She will be gone 12-20: She has commuted nine years to Barrow and she and Lloyd need to rebuild their house in Big Lake. She got us through the conversion from IHS to ASNA and now it is time to go. I will miss her very much. Hope who ever replaces her is nearly as funny, compassionate and rock steady.
Lois Anderson came through the department with a three masted ship made of baleen. I think that will make a nice going away present for Carolyn.
10-14: Columbus Day Holiday. Feds only. Which means that everyone and their sick canine will come to the clinic. Oy!!
Have started training Patrick on the inpatient coding as well as the census. Jeanne just got back from PI. Thank you!!
David White wants me to write a proposal for outsourcing transcription services. Ok.
I asked if I could get raises for the medical record folk and Mr. White said to submit the paper work and it was approved. Heady sense of power. Also ASNA is offering to send me back to school for the R.R.A. (two more years). I will think it over. I feel like I have been doling out bits and pieces of my job and ASNA wants to take a look at my salary as I was making more than Beloved Leader. Hope I don't have to give any back.
Tim has been going to the local Teen center to play ping pong. He goes up against one of the local cab drivers, Edgar. There is a pool table there but only one grubby pool stick. What!?
10-22: So dry I got a nose bleed. Real pumper. Was seen in a room and Dr. Freeman applied a silver nitrate stick to cauterize. Gug.
Kitty news; Bradfords thyroid meds have been adjusted upward.
Weather: 5 below zero. Polar bear shot by one of the workers from the hospital. The guy is going to feed the meet to his dogs.
Talked to Charlie. He called to thank me for his early birthday card. He also said he was assaulted and broke his elbow. He was at a friends house and was on the phone. Someone there took exception to something Charlie said and the battle ensued. He will be in a sling for about six weeks. Kids.
Blizzard: Monday was a complete white out. NSB shut down and told everyone but essential personnel stay at home. I was already there and decided to stay. Very quiet but the suffering souls managed to stagger out in a fairly decent show. We had 29 walk-in's by 5 pm...an average day.
Lost on the Tundra. Dr. Paul McCord drove a ski-do to Wainwright on 10-26 and has not showed up. Search and Rescue went to one site but did not find anything. His beeper is no longer working may have frozen. It looks bad a C150 went looking and found nothing. This has been a terrible thing for almost everyone. His wife works here as a teacher. He is a very popular doctor. And we are now down to one doctor. Worried gloom.
Transcription service has been approved.
11-4: Search and Rescue officially called off the search for Dr. McCord. A debriefing crew is coming up from ANMC. There will be some sort of memorial. A grim fact of life in Alaska is that it does not take 7 years for a missing person to be declared dead. C
arolyn McClintock has resigned effective immediately due to the stresses.
We ordered a nifty high tech air mist humidifier. Works very well. Can almost stave off the nose bleeds.
11-5: Voted for president. I voted to Nader just to give him a little encouragement.
Dr. McCord's Memorial Service was 11-6 at the high school, it was very long and very well done. So sad. One of the doctors asked me to find a transcription tape with his voice on it for his wife, Amy. Okay, here you go. I had to go in and erase the patients name.
11-13: Got a new PC at work today, mini tower, fancy monitor. So fast I has nosebleed.
Had to go in over the weekend to shut down computer system because they were on back up due to a power failure. Power is pretty dirty so shut it down.
11-22: ASNA handed out turkeys for the holiday! Thank you!Cooked turkey, made all the fixings. Yummy.
We purchased Toy Story. Which should be fun.
That's it apparently for October and November. Somebody shut me up!
G'night folks.
