Started out the day pretty well: it was my first day at the information desk at Morristown Memorial Hospital. Don't have my computer ID yet so I shadowed another volunteer. Phone keeps on ringing -- people checking to see if a friend or a family member is in the hospital, people trying to get the bedside phone number of a patient, people trying to contact a physician on staff, and insurance companies checking to see whether a patient is still in the hospital or has been discharged. In addition, many people first entering the hospital come to the information desk to find out what room a patient is in and get directions on how to get to that room. Problem is I don't yet have the information I need to give them down pat. It will come -- eventually -- but will be able to hear the people at the desk and the people on the phone. I sincerely hope so!
So my volunteering consists of one day walking all over the hospital and one day sitting by the front door. I can do this!
After my shift I went home and grabbed a quick lunch before I left to get Natalie. I wind up bringing her all the way back home because there is quite some time between when I pick her up (2:35) and when Daniel can get home for her (5:00-5:30-ish). But things will change after I get back from my cake class. First my days will change: to Tuesday and Wednesday from Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesdays we will be picking up Sabrina so Natalie and Sabrina can play for a bit and for four Wednesdays in October Natalie is registered for swimming so I will at least be taking her to an activity.
Dan called when he was getting out of work and we decided to eat here since Caroline was working late. I had half of a cornish hen left and cut it up. Also made pasta with turkey meatballs (Trader Joe's frozen) in tomato sauce and a salad.
Everything went fine until just before Dan was leaving and he mentioned that he has been assigned to take care of my dogs next Thursday. I was so upset. David promised to come home and take care of the dogs while I was away. But instead of taking the time to stay with and play with the dogs he has delegated their care to Daniel who can only stop by for a few minutes to feed the dogs and let them out before he has to leave and get to work or get home. So the poor dogs will be locked in cages a whole day and night and only be let out for a couple of minutes. David is turning into a total asshole - or maybe he always was and I never realized or wanted to admit it to myself. These are his dogs too -- I don't get it! Never will! But am starting to really dislike the man!!!
