Inventory count

At my job, there’s a semi-annual inventory check. Every department has a booklet and must count all the supplies. Then we in the Finance dept have to check over each of those. We’re basically two hospitals in one, so there’s two buildings. One has 5 floors, the other has 8 floors, and there’s at least two departments per floor. In 3 days, 5 of us disperse to all the various departments and go sign off on their inventory counts

Which is fun in some ways. For one, we’re allowed to wear comfortable clothes since we’ll be walking around a lot. I love going to work in jeans and Crocs rather than business attire! I think Crocs are the most comfortable shoes ever made. Also it’s fun to watch each dept squirm while we randomly pick items for them to count to prove they counted correctly. We technically could make them recount if they’re showing they didn’t really count their supplies. And understandably, they desperately don’t want that. It’s funny!

And you know I find amusement in everything. Some of the listed supplies just sound funny. In the Surgery dept, there was an item called a ‘Red Head’. Turns out it’s some kind of tubing, but it sounds funny. Here’s how the convo went:

Nurse: So where did you want to start?
Me: Where’s the ‘Red Head’?
Nurse: I keep that in my office

So the ‘Red Head’ is manufactured by ‘Miami Fat Supply’, it’s disposable and priced at $125 each. I swear I’m not making this up!

Anyways, off to my follow-up visit with my doc. Hope he doesn’t put me on any more meds!

Have a Nice Day!
