DNuA.

-some notes made during orientation on my 1st day as a temp at Harborview Hospital.

* as a newly appointed data services technician here at PDS (Patient Data Services), it is my goal to be an attentive, active listener as my responsibilities are explained to me, followed by

* fully digesting this information in a manner which requires no performing of any actual duties just yet.

* by "yet," we mean "today." as of now we are 6.8 hrs into the process and no work has been looked at with regard to the project for which we were hired.

* it was just revealed that said project is entitled DNUA (Do Not Use Abbreviations).

* while delicious, the irony embedded in project DNUA is also rather trite. but even at this early stage--the one where no work has been done--it is clear that, as we progress, said irony is destined to become so thoroughly systemic as to cause us pain. the task of avoiding work for the entirety of Day 1 is a good one, as once work becomes unavoidable we are certain to slip into a shock-like state of BOOMI (Bored Out of Mind Indefinitely).

* ..in a PAT-sized tidbit, the supervisor has just informed us that a Forms Analyst will be coming on board ASAP, which will be super nice.

* nice, because my duties as a DNUA Analyst will be made significantly less complex....right now i can nearly imagine a situation in which my worklife could sometimes be challenging. i am expected to analyze the forms AND the abbreviations on the forms. which can very quickly get to be tiresome. whelming. and i am so totally over whelming. i a m DUN with it. i needs to get me a DNUA Forms Analyst STAT. with a quickness.
