Subject: Howard: Congrats on First Day of Volunteer Job!!

Howard,

Thought I would say "congrats" on your first day at the oncology center!

They are lucky to have someone like you helping over there.

Oh Thank You guys.I didn't even realize there was gonna be a thread about me.But anyway,today went pretty well.They had me doing a big book stack worth of In-Patient filing from A-Z in alphabetical order in a conference room and occasionally people would be walking in and out of the room but what I saw that was interesting was an oncologist(Medical Doctor) that was viewing blood cells thru a small microscope and answering phone calls at the same time.I would love to learn more of what and Oncologist does.So far,I know they're extremely busy viewing papers and answering calls or leaving messages for the patients who need/have appointments.Thanks Guys & Gals. :)

I'm hoping I get to use the computer to type in the next few weeks.And I've talking with one of the oncologists today. :)

Congratz, Howard! I've been doing some volunteer work myself for the past couple months. At CSU Northridge, where I go to school, I've been helping out in the education building, entering data into a MS Access database, creating an organized directory.

Yesterday it was non-stop filing from A-Z.I feel a little nervous because people are staring at me when I walk down the aisles. :( Maybe I should just give it some time for me to get used to. :)

It's a big accordian book which keeps all in-patient files in and those doctors in there can get pretty busy in one day running around. ;D
