What's Been Going On?

Apparently this has been the question of the month..."what's going on with Leslie? She needs to update her blog." So, this blog post is for all of you dedicated people who check in on my blog from time to time.




So, first update is the job! HCA is a wonderful place to work. The only thing I don't like is the drive. One day during my first week at HCA I was talking to Keith and telling him all about the little perks like on-site oil change, dry cleaning services, manicures and pedicures and massages on-site, on-site clinic, on-site CVS, 2 gyms, 4 cafeterias, on-site car wash service, discounts on movie tickets, verizon, AT&T, ATM machines in the buildings, etc. Keith paused and said "It sounds as if they don't want you to leave, ever. Are you a member of a cult?" The next morning on my way to work Keith called and he asked "Are you on your way to the compound?" I told that story to a few of my co-workers and we've now started calling the office "The Compound."



My first audit with HCA was in Tampa. I'm on the SSC Team (Shared Services Center) which means I don't travel to the hospital but rather to the regional business offices which tend to be as large as a hospital. Anyway, there are 15 of us on our team and all 15 of us travel together. On this past audit we rented 5 silver volvos. When we would pull into the parking lot we looked like a gang. I kind of felt sorry for the SSC.



Our last night in Tampa we ate at a really nice restaurant where Perry ordered the largest bowl of coffee I have seen in a long time. It was so funny I took a picture of him.



The second update is Keith. Things are great with us. He's met Margaret, Mary, Jenny, Terry, and Nate and Keith is still around. The first weekend he was in town I took him to Opryland Hotel and showed him around. The second weekend he was here we went to Cenntinial Park. I took Keith to Memphis with me and met the family. Kevin and I took Keith to Graceland for the all night Elvis candle light vigil. He was a hit with the family. I took some of Nelson's ribs and bar-b-q for Labor Day and he loved it. I knew he would.
