A lovely start to the afternoon shift as we had a chance to congratulate John on his 50 Good Deeds and admire his awesome badge of honour. Susan and Sarah were assigned to the Church where they took over from our Goodgym buddy India and had a quick chance to say hello to Paul and his daughter Emma. Lucy was on anaphylactic observations in the waiting room. It was a busy shift and the Church waiting room seemed to be constantly full - so every time Sarah was asked how many - her reply was usually "8!" It was Sue's first time on ear temperature, a tricky start as the thermometer broke (but Sarah soon fixed it with a google - turns out it was a mucky sensor, a quick wipe and it was back in business). The door volunteer was warning patients that they were about to be ear "probed", Sue did an awesome job and "probed" earholes all shift. All the while Lucy was doing an ace job in the waiting room, making sure everyone was well. As part of a Worthing GG Challenge she managed to fit in a quick plank - holding it for 1:50!!! Tomorrow she will have to hold for 2 minutes 😮 In keeping with the shift when it was getting close to 8pm we still had 8 in the Church! So a late finish, but well worth it as another 360 people were vaccinated today 🤗
PS: no Pizza but the 5 week old Mint Oreo's are still there and kept us sustained 😉
