It's Friday, nearly the weekend, and of course the big boss decides that today is the perfect day spring a new process on us. Why he couldn't have waited until first thing Monday morning, I've no clue - the damn stuff's been sitting there gathering dust for nearly three weeks. Would leaving it an extra couple of days have hurt?
Previously we've been dealing with NHS medical practices in the Greater Manchester area and on Merseyside.
But now we've got a contract to prep/scan/archive Social Work records for Wolverhampton.
Things are around 75% the same, but it's the other 25% that we need to be cautious about.
Certain things get done in a certain way, another thing gets removed and put in another box, stuff that's water damaged gets treated in a different way.
But the thing that's annoying me most - and I'll have to say that strictly speaking we're not supposed to read this stuff - is that the social workers can't bloody spell!
They continually get "their" mixed up with "there", and there's been cases of them spelling someone's name three or four different ways over the course of the file - this is people's lives, this is how mistakes are made, and it bothers me.
I'm effin' dyslexic, what the hell's their excuse?
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.
