Dear headache

   Posted by: laurane   in Random

I hate you. Don’t ever Come back. Ever.

Ruined my day at work. I don’t hate work. I kinda enjoy it. When it’s busy and theres so much to do and everyone bustling about trying to shorten the waiting time… it’s a bit of a rush. Although exhausting.

But the headache makes me feel like I wanna die. Or puke. But I can’t.

Angry mode: off

   Posted by: laurane   in Random

Little chinese old lady sitting next to me on the train is humming. Annoying little songs from eons ago but somehow recognizable. O.o

I was a little annoyed. Then I found it kinda funny and cute….

Glad I’m getting off the next stop though.

The anger continues

   Posted by: laurane   in Ramblings

So i woke up with angry mode: ON today.

Caught the shuttle but turns out public bus moves faster than the shuttle bus. I already knew this, although somehow today it annoyed me more than ever.

Btw I never finished my angry list yesterday. There were also smelly people, lousy food, smokers, people on bicycles and scooters that have no respect….. The list does kindof go on a bit.

And I dont know why I promised my senior I will be running today after work. What was I thinking?! It’s too long a day to go running after work….

Pissed off ramblings

   Posted by: laurane   in Ramblings

SO many things pissed me off today. Whether it be little things or not. I was pissed off countless times.

The route I usually take to walk to work is blocked off due to renovations. Had to walk around it. Made me late for meeting. Pissed.

Some colleagues made the effort to change around the chair arrangement for their presentation. When they asked if we liked it, some certain unnamed female dog went “don’t like it”. The end. And it wasn’t even as a joke. At least justify why not! I kinda liked it. So Pissed.

Picked up one of those Repeat prescriptions. Meant to be a “here’s your meds, the end” cases. But no. Had to get someone with 1001 issues and won’t take any advice and can’t make up their minds whether or not to get the stupid cough mixture. They dot even currently have a cough!!! &@&$?!!! And they’re taking meds that can possibly make whatever bs condition they have worst and yet insist they want the medicine and won’t listen to a word I say AFTER asking for MY opinion and my advice. Biatch. Wasted so much time. So pissed.

Our computer system has some
Annoying glitch. Ordered quantity: 92 tabs. Dispensed quantity: 122. ??!!?!! Wtfbbq!! Where did 122 come from??! And for scripts with like 10zillion items on it to re-pack it all with the 40mins waiting time breathing down your neck is a paaaiin! Then the patients complain to you that they waited too long!!! SO pissed!!

Stayed back after work to sort out tomorrow’s manpower (which btw I’ve been doing for the rest of this week but keep on getting it wrong so Boss had to make so many changes….). Left and halfway walking towards the mrt realized Im still wearing my WORK shoes home rather than my
Pretty heels. WTH PISSED!!!!

Gt to mrt, got ON mrt… And this bloody train has to stop like friggin ages at every mrt stop. Wth. Just go already.

I think I’m going to explode.

Putting on a mask

   Posted by: laurane   in Work experiences

Today I caught up with one of our attachment students (but older than me…) on the way home from work. She asked me- How long have you been a pharmacist?

I told her… about a month.

And she was surprised! She said she thought I’ve been a pharmacist for a long time- maybe two years or so.

HAHA!

I guess I can take it either way:

1) I look pretty old to be a newbie…

2) I appear to put on a confident front at work.

I’d like to think it’s Number 2. After all, when I told her I’m terrified of being a new pharmacist, she said she couldn’t tell.

Yay..?

Perception

   Posted by: laurane   in Random

It’s a powerful thing, how we perceive things.

That’s how posters like this (below) comes about.

Because like it or not, sometimes they may be quite true.

Our imagination is quite incredible. I guess when we were younger it’s even better. Often we lose that ability as we grow older. But as of now, I think I still have a pretty active imagination.

If only life were really as I imagined it to be.

Because now, it kinda sucks.

Sad

   Posted by: laurane   in Holidays

Writing this on the bus on the way home. Data plans and wifi has spoilt us. I feel so disconnected and rather lonely. Even though it’s just for a few hours. It’s knowing that if I had phone line belonging to this country I can connect to the www at any time that makes me resent not being able to connect even more.

Anyway, what sucks and why I’m writing is because I’m on my way home. The holiday was good. Really. I met friends I’ve been meaning to see for a long time (thank you jm, mb, mt for spending your day with me!). I got the shopping I wanted. And I even got to be a tourist for a bit.

But work comes tomorrow. And there’s no avoiding that.
:(

I’m such a pushover…

   Posted by: laurane   in Work experiences

Today…

Me: Doctor, the medication regimen for this patient is supposed to be the quadruple therapy?
Dr: Yes
Me: OK, then twice daily dosing for Metronidazole should be sufficient.
Dr: I want it to be 3 times a day.
Me: We’re mainly concerned about patient compliance since the other antibiotics need to be taken four ti..//
Dr: I want it 3 times a day.
Me:    …   Oh.    Okay.

Intervention: FAIL.
