Dear Kerry,
 
The Dog Days of Summer are here! The weather is hot and humid.  Everyone's pace seems just a bit slower. Another month to enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer.Dog Days
 
Just where does the expression "The Dog Days of Summer" originate?  According to Fact Monster, Dog Days is the name for the most sultry period of summer, from about July 3 to August. 11. Named in early times by observers in countries bordering the Mediterranean, the period was reckoned as extending from 20 days before to 20 days after the conjunction of Sirius (the dog star) and the sun.
 
Keeping with this theme, RDH Temps eNews takes a look at some of the ways dentistry and canines, no pun intended, are intertwined.  We've even thrown in some other animal species for good measure! Be sure to check out the collection of interesting articles below which we found appropriate to this Dog Days Issue!

The Guess Who.....
Phone Multi 
 The Guess Who, Who Are You?, The Who all bring to mind various songs or musical artists.  At RDH Temps we often have another version of this concept.
 
Many times one of our office staff will answer the phone saying RDH Temps, then identify themselves, and be greeted with a response of some variation of the following:
 
"Do you have any work for Tuesday?"
"Hi, you called me today about work."
"This is Susan. What do you have next week?"
 
In the course of a day we speak with many people.  It is necessary for us to know your full name, as well as your staff type to open your record to search for available work.  We even have instances of 2 or more people with the same name.  Sometimes the staff type is the same, other times it is not. If we search using the wrong record you may inadvertently be matched to an assignment that is not a match for you.  Even worse, you may miss opportunities that are a match.
 
By the same token, when leaving a message on our machine, please speak clearly and provide your full name, spelling the last name if appropriate, your staff type and telephone number, including area code. Our service area includes 11 area codes, not to mention cell phones which may be from another area. A clear message, with a complete telephone number will allow us to respond to your call in the quickest manner.
