First Week of Work

Technically, it was only three days since work started on Thursday. And yes, I was scheduled to work for a full shift on a Saturday. Imagine my horror when I was told this piece of sad news on Friday. ☹

However, I shall not complain as this will only be happening once a month, and it was a short week...so I shall dance and make merry before Monday arrives.

I must say that it is a different experience; seeing a patient as a student, and then as a full-fledged (more or less) therapist. I was used to having to ask my supervisors for guidance when it came to things that I was unsure with, and I have learned that that is not the way to go in the past three days.

I am still learning to cope with this new revelation, and hoping that I am looking less like a lost lamb at work. Also, I did not know whether to laugh or cry when one of my seniors said that I look 'underage'. I am thinking that the whole bangs thing is not working in my favour, but ah, we will see how things go in the next few months.

Not forgetting to mention, I now have a second phone! To my friends who went "Again!?!?!?" after reading that last sentence, please have a bit more faith in me. The phone that I am talking about is the hospital's property, and it never fails to amaze me. From the moment I picked it up, and when I use it during work, I feel a strong urge to burst out laughing. Its start-up tone, and its ringtones are just so last decade that I always stare at it in amazement when I have it in my hands. How is it possible that this thing still works, and has a battery life at least ten times that of my iPhone?

All in all, my working experience thus far had proved that my panic episodes prior to working were uncalled for, and I look forward to feeling this way in the next five months!
