I like my job, honest.

I like my job. I really do. It's challenging and rewarding. I do have my days where I wonder if it's all worth it. Especially when I'm confused or something and then I wonder if I'll ever get it.

But the one thing that's bothering me is my one coworker. She handle's the Medicare Part B accounts (I handle Part A). She use to work at our East campus and they moved her to our West campus to have all the business office people in one location. I'm glad they moved her as it would have been frustrating trying to get trained in. But what's bothering me is she is ALWAYS comparing the 2 facilities. 'East is/was more relaxed'. 'West is more 'professional'. No one even says Hi to you.' 'At East everyone could joke around. At West no one smiles.'

I didn't work at East. I work at West. I'm sorry she's having a tough time with the switch but I don't need to know what goes on at East. She has told me things about people at each facility (one including the story how my boss got her job) and how different they are because she feels 'I have a right to know.' No, I don't. I don't need to know that. I don't need to know that my boss is only 28, that she apparently only has funeral home billing in her history. I don't need to know my supervisor didn't know the Manager position was open. That my supervisor has low self esteem and needs to be lifted up alot.

I don't need to know.

What I need to know is how to do my job. How to get the claims out the door in a timely manner and how to get them paid in a timely manner.

I need to know that my manager is a great boss. She's down to earth but knows how to get the job done. She blunt, to the point and doesn't dance around messy problems. She knows how to show you you did something wrong without you feeling put down. I like that in a boss.

I know I get along with all my coworkers at West. From my coworkers in the business office, to the physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists in rehab, to the gals in the deli, the nurses, and nurse managers, social workers, housekeeping, IT staff, and all our volunteers.

I don't care how different each facility is. I will figure that out on my own.

What I do know is I like my job and what I do. That's all that matters.
