My brain only wants to hate on this week as suggested by my titles for the weekdays. It was really unfortunate when I realized that it was only Thursday Night. Yeah, I have nothing else to say. But the disappointment was real.

I am not going to post about work. I got annoyed, got stressed, and vented. I was very vocal about my dissatisfaction with the increasing expectations from my team having to flag this and that. Put this shit on hold and check this and that. It was a mess. And I had to put down my foot on one of the process changes and said – No, my team will not check results to determine eligibility. That is beyond my team’s scope. It felt good to say No. That is one thing that I like about this job. I’m learning to say no and advocate a lot for the welfare of the team. And the stakeholders listen. It’s nice.

I was picked to take part in a project – data pulls for clinicians. And they said depending on evaluation, this might be something that can turn to its own team. It’s exciting. We’ll see how that goes.

My hun and I hung out today! Yay! We watched Fun with Dick and Jane with Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni. That was a fun movie. I like the realness of the situation – getting screwed by corporations, employees suffering, employees losing their jobs, and the struggle of finding a new job. Love the ending, the CEO getting screwed into donating $400M to that company’s employee relief fund. Such a nice ending.

We also started watching The Dropout on Hulu. The show is about Elizabeth Holmes and the journey of building Theranos. My hun says so far he likes this better than Inventing Anna. I’m interested in this one too. I just recently finished Bad Blood, consumed the available documentaries in streaming services regarding this company and what they did. And being in healthcare – in the diagnostics business for so long, yeah, I’m invested.

We got to watch an episode of Bob’s Burgers as well! So that was nice and relaxing.

I’m finally able to read Forrest Gump last night. So much happened already with Forrest and I’m only in chapter eight. I cannot wait to finish this one soon as well.

Tomorrow is Friday. Finally. For some reason, this week felt too long.
