its never constant. its never permanent.
And so.. on it goes...
and i've got a new job!! starting in 4 weeks.. in one of the city's major hospitals..
i never thought i'll be able to do it..
its sorta like.. a dream of working in raffles place.. or.. shenton way.. for some pple.
Thank God for his provision ... and the whole drama with me wanting to leave my current job.
(very long story)
but it made it very clear to me, that it was time to move on.
i will miss the pple i work with.. so much
such an AWESOME bunch.
i am " quiz mistress"(not master!!) during lunch everyday.. when we pull out the quiz section of the paper.. cos i am totally clueless abt the questions really... so i get to ask all the questions!
and me and fellow ward physio..
hes so laid back but competitive in the funniest ways..
always being nice enough to zap my lunch up for me.. and wash my cutlery...
where do u find colls like that?!?!?!
we do sudoku frm the paper together everyday.. and so the paper is always stuck on sudoku page.. in between both our seating space.
then one of us starts...
and we keep going during the day..
stealing the moments in between seeing patients in the gym and on the ward ( and pretending to act busy)
and then as the squares start to fill up,it gets reaaaally competitive because we both want to be the last one to finish it
and with 10 mins to spare to the end of work day today,
i had to head off to the wards (dang.. patients)
with half the puzzle still undone.
And i came back 15 mins later..
to find..
a fully completed puzzle
sitting squarely on my desk.
URGHS!
so pissed off.
And my dear assistant.. so funny and dry and english.
i couldn't work without her.. she keeps me going everyday.
And my porter.. best guy ever...
with the wittiest one liners..
I miss so much abt work and more.
and i'm sure i'll post some pics and more reminesences up b4 i leave..
but.. its time to move on..
i guess.

Ups and Downs..

i love work.. then i get tired of it..
Its so hard when pple are off and u have to see countless patients.. and feel so tired at the end of the day..
At the same time, i LOVE the pple i work with, from the ward clerk.. who is absolutely funny and motherly, with her absolutely dry english humour.
" I saw someone who looked like a supermodel.. walking with dark hair flowing when i was driving in today.. and then i realised it was JUST YOU, Joy.."
to dropping "
I AM FLU PROTECTED" stickers on unsuspecting fellow colleagues, engrossed in their tasks..
to my one-handed " broke my thumb playing footy" fellow ward physio, who volunteered to cut the plaster off the leg of a patient.. THEN realises he only has one hand. And hands the task (and saw) to me. " WOW.u're so good, u could be on burke's backyard!"
uh huh. flattery ain't getting u anywhere, mate.
But we get along.. and discuss everything from our favourite fruits.. to.. why coconuts are called coconuts.
(it's an ongoing debate)
To knowing there's always a bed ard if u need to sleep. Was feeling sick at work today, so i slept thru lunch.. in the secret(sleeping) room, with my colls heating up my lunch for me.
To bagging my senior cos his pants were too short.
And having a good laugh through the day. Yes, work is busy and hectic at times.. but the pple.. they make all the difference.
