Ding Dong Brrrrr!

This morning it was 1F. Okay so it was really 17F with a windchill to 1F but still it was really cold. With yesterday being the official start of winter I guess this is to be expected but it doesn't mean I have to like it. If only it would get back to the 30s again. <---- I can't believe this California girl really just typed that!

Today I also got to install my wireless door bell at work. It's so much fun! In case you are confused as to why a dietitian would need a doorbell, here's the story. When patients arrive they check in at the front desk. The front desk person then prints an encounter, attaches it to the patients chart and then puts the chart in my box. My box is located near the front desk; outside of my office through a door and around the corner. So in order to see whether my patients were here I used to have to get up every five minutes and walk over to check my box. Which meant that if a patient didn't show up I spent the half hour constantly checking my box instead of getting on with other work. Now that there's a doorbell, the front desk staff simply rings the doorbell when they put a chart in my box. So I can stay in my office and get work done instead of constantly checking to see if my patients are there. It's really exciting.
