OT: So I've been at my new job for 6 weeks...

[Berly]

and realized today that half of what I've been doing is wrong. hahaha I looove that. Someone shoot me.

But the thing is, no one pointed it out to me. I happened to discover I've been doing it wrong all on my own. So today I've been working my booty off in Excel correcting things I entered wrong.

Oh, and ever heard of February 30th?. Yeah, in my world apparently that day exists.

My brain is fried.

LOL@Kim. Nice of someone to tell you your not doing your job right. That's happened to me before, i was giving people wrong info over the phone and everything. Finally, after research, i figured it out myself!!

[Berly]

I feel so stupid! lol

But in my defense, I've had to learn everything on my own. I got NO training. The girl who worked here before me didn't show me much except where the bathrooms are and the office supplies. I sat with her for a week and learned nothing. She's a horrible trainer. lol So I deserve some slack for at least now knowing enough to figure out I've been doing stuff wrong.

I'm so sleepy now...

I hate not being properly trained. That's happened at a few of my jobs. Just got throwen into it!!

Don't feel stupid!!!

Aww hun keep your head up!I had a similar experience when I first started my current job 6 years ago.

[2Good2BeTrue]

i've been at my job for over four years now and i basically had to train myself so that i would interrupt their smoke breaks. now i'm an assitant manager and guess who tells them when they can go smoke? lol

Kim don't feel stupid! And no I don't think I have ever heard of Feb. 30th either lol

I'm looking for a new job too, mine sucks, and I don't feel appreciated at my job anymore :(

Sounds like I'm living the same life you are right now.

New job...I know nothing. BUT, I did rub some elbows and now I know who to call about getting an actual internship and working towards that. But I can't quit this job...because I'll feel guilty. They've "trained" me and are counting on me to learn this shizz and help out...I can't quit on them, that'd be wrong. I'm hoping I can do the internship on Saturdays. I need to find out how many hours I need in. The quicker I get my hours in, the quicker I can be hired as an actual coder and make double what I make now and the quicker I can get my time in and prove I know what I'm doing and the quicker I can do it all from home in my pajamas.

Every day I hear in my head, "This is NOT what I'm supposed to be doing."

I even answered a difficult coding question yesterday. And it's so funny because Certified Coders (which I am) are SO VERY RESPECTED there....(but there are no openings for that, so I do CORR aka deal with jerks about medical bills, jerks being the patients and the insurance companies..major thumbs down) ...and these women I work with can work these calls and bills like it's nothing...they work circles around me and I'm just standing there scratching my damn head.

But bring me something about an actual Procedure Code or modifiers needed in order for it to be billed correctly....and I got it...I can handle it, no problem.

I know every one of them were going, "How the hell did this dumb ass know that?" in their heads.

I told them the answer...they didn't trust me...they called the Coder and she told them to let her call them back...she needed to look something up...two mins later, she called back and told them exactly what I told them.

The Supervisor gave me a pat on the back. Felt great. But I'm still sitting at my lil cubicle, trying to figure out how to post a demo.
HUH?

No clue.
