How to earn your pay when there is not much to do

As many of you know, I recently started a new job. When I started this job I didn't take over somebodies old caseload, but am expected to build my own. As much as this means a ton of work in my future with marketing, evaluations, and writing reports, but I look forward to all this and this is what I signed up for. However, as soon as I started working I wasn't going to have 100's of people lined up at the door. Looking positively, in my first week I have had 3 evals and seen one client. Next week, even with jury duty I have 2 or three more evals and several more clients. However, that only accounts for a very small fraction of my day. So I have been figuring out ways to keep myself busy and worth my pay. So if you're ever in my situation, here are some things you can do:

-Move in all your stuff in

-find homes for all your stuff

-build a book case

-help in the front office when they need to eat

-learn the computer program

-write up some evals

-read files on new clients

-organize an entire therapy closet

-organize a book case

-reorganize your files and your stuff

-check your mail several times

-build a treadmill

-file

-refile the mistakes you made

-call a couple of doctors to request scripts

I'm sure there is a bit more but they have slipped my mind.
