Just another Manic Monday...

I think my co-workers are to get me. I'm not trying to sound paranoid or anything but, I swear they are trying to get me fired or something!

I had JUST clocked out for lunch when the manager finds me in the lunch room and proceeds to chastise me! Apparently I'm not scanning in the "No Pay EOBs" fast enough for the work comp department and they went whining to her. I was floored!

This one particular individual had emailed me earlier and had asked me to help her find a certain EOB (Explanation of Benefit for you non-medical persons out there). I informed her that I was behind on the scanning but she was more than welcomed to come and get the EOB from my folder and make a copy of it and that I would get the rest to her ASAP.

Well that individual's partner decided that that wasn't good enough and decided to take a step further. WHen I was confronted about the whole situation at lunch, I calmly explained that I had been behind on posting, the secondaries, the returned mail AND the scanning. I explained that in order for me to get the posting, secondaries and returned mail caught up quickly, I had to sacrifice the scanning. I even explained that I had on numerous occassions asked my supervisor if I could come in on Saturdays and get the scanning caught up but was denied. That was not good enough. The manager proceeded to tell me that from now on, work comp posting and scanning is primary to all other things except the deposit. WTF?! So work comp gets their way AGAIN! That department is like the golden child. They can do no wrong and what they want, they get. It's not fair!

Later that day, one of the Work Comp individuals (there are 4 in that department) came in my office requesting a certain batch of unscanned EOBs. I was soooooo pissed off, I curtly said "you know if y'all'd have just been a LITTLE bit more patient, I would have had these EOBs scanned in tomorrow." She acted like she had no idea what I meant. She looked at me like a dog with it's head cocked to the side and said, "what are talking about?" I told her, "well ____ confronted me about the scanning. It'll be done first thing in the morning." She said, "I didn't know it would go that far." And walked out. WTF?! She didn't think it would go that far?! WHat do you expect when you go above me, above the supervisor and go straight to the office manager?????

Ok, I'm off my soap box now.

Sometimes I feel like I should start my own business, in what I don't know but at least I'd be my own boss. But then I talk to my aunt and she tells me how much she struggles with her own business (She's owned her own coffee service for businesses for over 5 years now) and she tells me it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Shameful plug here!
