Tough Day

At work that is. It's been a while since I was so stressed at work. It seemed like everything was coming at me at the same time. No one could help me since all the other 3 who could do my work were either on mc or leave. So I was left to my own devices. To make things worse, I was the least experienced among the group of us! There was one patient whom I almost took an hour to check cos it was a new case to me and the patient was seeing the doc who was well known to lose his patience easily. So that added to the stress.

Then on the other hand, there was another patient who needed to make glasses and the mum who was 'niao' wanted me to do it for the patient. So it doesn't pay at times to be the best at what you do, does it? So another colleague had to help me do the glasses whom I was concerned about cos she lacked experience in handling such cases.

So I pretty much went non-stop for the afternoon and even went without my protein! That's taboo man! Then I also had a parent calling to speak to me who was also another 'niao' one. Great way to end a work day ain't it? I ended up doing OT for about an hour and missed my gym session. Thank God I managed to get some of my own stuff done at home tonight. In about a week's time, I will need to sit for a test and I am far from ready for it. Then there is a major audit coming up in august. Seems like there's just so much to do and so little time. Think I really need a break from work. The temptation is there to just take a full year of sabbath next year man. I really feel stretched at this point of time with no reprieve in sight......
