Warning - PMS/work rant

Why is it that some bosses who are not detail oriented just expect those of us who are to know the details of something fairly new without them informing us of the details? Case in point - our new owner/boss/dentist does the implant process (where they place the titanium screw in your jaw, then later attach a crown to it) - we, however have never really done all of this process before. Our first implant patient was scheduled this morning for the 2nd step in the process - did any of us order the next step worth of parts? NOOOOOO, because we had no idea we needed to! So we get our backsides chewed because we had to cancel the patient until we get the parts here (because parts is parts - I digress). Once he arrives at one of the other offices, he calls here because he is missing the handpiece (drill) with which to place the implants. His patient is in the chair, numb, and no way to do treatment. Since we were the last office to use the handpiece, we get a new hole because we didn't make sure he took the equipment! ARGH!!!!!!enough ranting....

Oh - I forgot to say that Nick lost his 1st tooth the other day - he was all excited to put the envelope under his pillow & then look in the morning. The tooth fairy had to tape quarters to a sheet of paper since the smallest bill around was a $10!

Go to your local library and check out Scott Adams' The Dilbert Principle or Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel. It wont improve your situation, but will give you lots of giggles at your boss' expense.
Kudos to you for not giving Nick the 10bucks-it would set a nasty percedent and Nat would be suing the tooth fairy for back comp with penalty.

My daughter Kassidy got $5.00 for her first tooth. Kameron, my son, got $5.00 as well. They both get $3.00 for their subsequent teeth... inflation I tell ya! I think I used to get quarters!
