with my sis's wedding coming up and the frequent MCs taken by my colleagues, i spent the entire weeks doing nth but work work work!!!
ok, time to complain again...
I spent teh past week working at the Haem section... yes... this is the week i am going to work at haematology section.. so i tot to myself that i will enjoy it... good to have a change once in a while, dun u agree? but last sun, i got a msg from the supervisor telling me tat i would be expected to work at 8.30am to replace a colleague who had taken MC when i was supposed to work 10am.. Alright, i may not be trained to work the first shift of haem because i am still not well-versed in reading Malaria Parasite slides, so i felt honoured that i was chosen to work the early shift... it means i am trusted rite?
so i started to ask her who will be coming in next to take over me and when she sent me a reply, i felt totally sian le... The reply? No one will replace me.. and it ended with "You will have to work OT"
I tried to think on the positive side of life.. u noe, once in a while it's ok but guess what? so on mon, i went to work... usually if they put me to work on morning shift, someone will come in at 9 to help me.. but this time round, due to the shortage of staff, i had to work alone till 10.. Plus it's a monday morning, there are alot of urgent samples... i couldn't handle at all.. seeing me all flustered up with fringe sticking all over my sweaty face, my manager (not wong but seow, the bigger one) actualli came and helped me! wow, what a rarity! @*$^(@
To make matters worse, my supervisor was late... haiz, u have no idea how i feel this week... total sian! both physically and mentally....
Ok, so for that day, i work from 8.30 all the way to 8pm.. haiz, a 12 hour work.. break my own record.. i am not proud of it u noe, not a big accomplishment.. i just feel like shit.. i try not to think as i was being used but.......
So, by rite monday other than me, a part time staff and my supervisor, there should be 2 more experienced staff (one is on mc rite), but on the day itself, i heard from my supervisor that the other one who was absent, went back to Malaysia.. She terminated her contract earlier than expected.. And the reason? ASK ME! cos i cannnot say in this blog.. SOMEONE WILL READ IT AND I SCARED HE WILL TELL OTHERS! HAHAHAHAHHAA.. SICK IS TEH MAIN REASON WHY THEY ALWAYS TAKE MC
more to come.. so from tues to fri, there are on and off mcs being taken.. so being the only so so experienced one, i have to cover their work.. u noe, i ran from here to there, i run ob, i do HB electrophoresis, i change water, i prepare controls, all for the purpose of not making them tired.. cos i noe they wun feel well to do these tasks.. but, i forgot that i am human too. i am not a robot.. at the day, i feel exhausted.. my neck is all sore and stiff, my pimples all popping up cos not enuff rest and i have ulcers on my tongue! WTFFFFFFFF and i need to attend my aunt's wedding!!!!!!! even more frustrated!!!!!!!
EVEN MORE ANGRY WAS on tuesday, i work with that person, (pls, if u are reading it, u need to noe how angry i am with u), tuesday was the only day where i can end work on time.. during evening time, i ran between haem and the urine sections, helping them out.. i process urine all standing up there with junting reading it... i remember i left only 3 bottles for him to finish processing.. i left him at 6.30pm and i went to do blood group for 8 samples.. i finished at 7.05pm and when i asked him if he was done, he said no... so i kept hurrying him.. i finish clearing the merge forms, cleaning up the misc stuff and when i asked him if he was done again, he said no!
Again i waited.... den i filed all the worksheets, finish keeping the OB cassettes, and guess what, he was still not finished! DID U NOE THAT THE OB CASS SHOULD BE DONE BY HIM INSTEAD? in the past, the student who was doing the urine will keep the OB cass and finished before the others... but for him, he is just super slow! and u noe what he did not? he still punch holes on his worksheets and expect me to keep for him... how many urine samples did he do? 3 racks only when the part time staff can do 4 racks and finished by 8.. yet he just dragged till 7.40pm den go.. u noe how slow this is.. yet when i noticed that there are no more pipette tips left in the cupboard and i asked him to fill up one, he said no need...
and so while WAITING FOR HIM, i fill up one box in less than 5 min! and he still not ready! WTH.. i am super pissed off in the end i just walked off..
ONE MORE THING TO COMPLAIN...
I HATE WORKING ON SATURDAY!!! ALL OF U SHOULD NOE IT! BEING GIVEN THIS STUPID TIMING OF 11AM to 3PM WHICH IS LIKE THE GOLDEN PERIOD OF MY LOVELY SATURDAY, I AM SUPER PISSED OFF LE.. PLUS IF I AM WORKING AT HAEM, I WILL END OFF LATE COS TEH WORKLOAD IS MUCH HIGHER THERE AND PPL ALWAYS THINK THAT I AM NOTHING ON ON SAT... P/S EVEN IF I HAVE NTH ON, I WILL NOT STAYED BACK ON SAT!
yesterady was horrible.. i tot that since i am going to work at biochem section this week, maybe i can go off on time.. but again, the same staff took mc again.. cos she not feeling well. seeing me ard, she ask me to help her partner.. can u imagine working on sat? with same amount of workload but half of ur staff... i worked and ended at 5! 11 to 5! almost full day!. did u gusy know that even if the other partner has to stay back and work ot, she dun need to come back next sat cos she work alternate sat.. but for me, i have to come every sat! FUCK!
i hate this job.. the one on mc actually call the lab at around 4 plus.. when i answered the call, u noe what she say? "EH SALLY, u still working huh? Thanks lei"
u asked me to stay and help, yet u still ask me this kind of qns... haiz! i need to cool down.. with all the late nights and anger in me, i get heaty ... i need lots of herbal drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
