3rd week of work..

Time flies when we are busy man..It has been my 3rd week as a dietitian..and I think i have lost my skills in writing..writing as a form of entertainment and not the writing in the case notes for my patients lah huh..

My typical day would be to see patients (pt) in the outpatient clinic for the first half of the day where there is an influx of patients everyday..patient count ranging from 5 to 14..And the current trend is weds will be the killer days..Gotta see all those pts starting from 9 am to latest by 12.30..ie. Mad Rush..so much so that i dont have time to go to the toilet or drink water..

And things get harder when the pt notes don't come in sequence, and I will have to walk around the ctr to look for them..(most often be in the nurse's office) and retrieve them in the most polite manner on a busy day..or else bear with the irritated look and a stern answer from who ever is holding them.

If not, it will be the blood test results taking a gazillion yrs to be reflected in the data base..

Then its the much appreciated lunch hr..and next comes seeing pts in the wards..this will generally take on a more relaxed pace but still not too lax lah huh..cos it will reflect on how inefficient you are!!

oh well..still need to give myself somemore time...but I just have this nagging feeling in me that this job is not one which i will stay on for long..

I wont be working this sat yayy!! ..*crosses fingers* hope my colleagues dont suddenly decide that they have sth on and need to swap with me!!

Yucky Monday Blues

Yucks, I am feeling the horrible, sinking and dull effects of the infamous monday blues.

To update, I am working as a dietitian now in a healthcare institution..Not exactly liking it but still tolerable..Prolly cos i feel different from my colleagues..and their expertise in this field pressures and intimidates me quite alot..sighz..*my brain seems empty*

However, i will just give myself a chance to try out how it feels like to be really working as a full time dietitian and if I am really suitable for it..

The job is not a bed of roses as some annoying people would deem it to be..especially when I havnt been in touch for quite some time..So I had promised myself to revise and do some reading up in the weekends which on the Sunday nite I havn't quite started on..hah..What's new?!!

Nevertheless, i will get round to doing it lah, eventually. *looks at pile of notes and thick txtbook beside laptop*

Unusually enough, it was an alcohol free wkend for me..it was coffee with Jeff and friends and a first movie experience at Cathay ( i love the couple seats!!) and a homely sunday with us shopping for groceries and preparing our spaghetti dinner together! Been such a long time since I have cooked..

Aiyah.. am looking forward to the next weekend already!
