a lot had happened since the last time i blogged . .been a while . . .just no time to blab about whats going on . .maybe got tired of complaining and became numb and exhausted . . dont even care if nobody reads this junk anymore. maybe its only a way or the only way i can let my anger or frustrations out without making someone lose their teeth.
oh well, my cavies are doing ok, i guess. still learning their behavior and their habits . . .my little girl heidi, seems to be curious and could recognise my voice while baby boy oscar seems aloof, too scared to go out his little tunnel i made for them.
then came midweek where i got this urge to build something for them. went to an arts and crafts store and gathered materials, from coroplast boards to wooden sticks, felt cloths and iron grids, i sat down one night and made my wife happy to see me make a new cage, a new play pen for them. a 15 by 30 inch, 2 storey home for my cavies . .maybe i could later snap some photos of them running around, up and down the stairs . .. while heidi is a glutton, oscar is not so trusting. only eats when nobody is around and keeps looking at you like those doves (pigeons) in the animated move "bolt". his stare is always asking, "do i know you?, i know i've seen you somewhere, but hmmn, do i know you?". . . there goes guinea pigs short term memory . .only lasts 10 seconds i guess . . .
well, about work, it still sux. but i do want a different role now and be an observer. no more imposing of what i want or what must be done. it seems that people do get spoiled if they are treated well. give your hand, they will get the whole arm kind of a deal. i dont like that. nobody likes that. unless you are on the receiving end of it. what kind of a workplace is it that depends benchwork on newcomers? what if they made a mistake? are they liable to answer or those around her who seems indifferent to take all the responsibility? when i was new, i was never bullied to do things i never learned yet. and though i have experience and have done it before in another hospital, its not my ticket to perform such tests without supervision. are we thinking straight here or are we just cowarldy bullies? is our title as MT's and SMT's preceed what we do? can MT's choose jobs or talk more that JMT's? do we always have to boss around newcomers to do things for the lousy reason of "you need practice". remember, if you want to teach someone, you have to supervise and watch that person all the way. guiding and instructing them what techniques should and could help them. telling them to do something and run away and never check is bullying and being bossy. shit to all of you who do this. i promise you will hear from me soon if you don't change. and to those who's priority is PRESS RELATIONS rather than benchwork when its time for benchwork, i dont care if we are close or not, you'll hear me ring your bell also. i have worked here long enough to grow roots and can tell people who are good in what they do and to those who are good in making friends to higher authorities so that they are not only good but they feel good at themselves. shame on you. ill be watching.
phew!
that made my heart pump more blood than usual . . .tsk . . its just fustrating to see everyday the same thing happen without improvement. my main question always starts with "how can blah blah blah . . . .?". im asking coz i was not trained to do things this way. all of us are not trained this way. we have a system. a system that is supposed to be followed. a system that has worked. why do we have to do things another way? for what reason? shame on you.
mooosah!
so far so good . ..my night has started reasonably quiet. just sad to see group o pct's are on the low side but not that low to panic and worry . . .2 samples in an hour . . blogging for 30 mins now . . what more can i ask . .later i could even watch a movie . . and play football in my psp . . .
hey wabsie, keep my blue pillow warm ok? nevermind my saliva, you could smell me in that pillow to help you sleep. luv ya.
anybody else reading this blog entry, up yours!

i had an experience before in my previous institution whereby i was the technologist on duty, alone mind you, in a hospital laboratory. handling all departments by myself and had this case of a man, a hippopotamus of a man actually, waistline of no less than 100 inches going for a laparotomy procedure (laparotomy LA-puh-RAH-toh-mee A surgical incision made in the wall of the abdomen. )the man was so fat that liposuction, dieting, and all other hopes of slimming down fails and they had to make his stomach smaller to help him reduce weight by putting on a band (lap banding). well the band ruptured and damaged his peripheral organs and he acquired sepsis (blood infection). making the long story short, he was opened up, tried to be patched up, i was so damn busy, busiest nyt of my career, yet the following 2 days he gave up and died.
tonight, i got another one. no he is not obese, he's just a bleeder. the team of doctors just keeps on wasting blood by not investigating properly whats causing the bleed . . sigh . .there goes my break again . . .
ill be calling all the saints tonigt . .. have mercy.

alamak.
so long i haven't blogged and the first thing in my head before blogging is again the same complaints, complaints, complaints. . .
this is becoming redundant. annoying even. can you imagine. im being annoying to myself!
well, life is shitty these times. the world is experiencing recession and bts morals are also in recession. people don't care anymore. save thyself!!!. thats the attitude! human survival instincts overcomes passion and sacrifice. to hell with you im going out and you better take care of the bank! thats the spirit!
well, gone were the days where people envy bts for its quiet, ORGANIZED, harmonious environment. the shepherd left and the herd was left confused and unattended.

quiet night tonight. one trx. one abid. one discrepancy. normal amount of t/s. only a handful of stupid nurses and doctors working. looking forward for my break. hungry.

aaargh . .7 hours to go . . .
watch one. learn one. teach one.
