The first crossroad for 2009

The new job wasn't actually as I imagined or envisioned. I know, I know it's been only 3 days. It's worse than JPL in terms of seeing the type of patients and the stoooopid shift hours. It's sooo disgusting that we work just a few hours in a day at the casualty when our colleagues work like doggies in the other departments. It's quite bad for self-esteem. Besides, I'm so so disoriented with the shift hours and soooooo bored during the extra free hours waiting for my shift.

So I did a drastic thing today. 2 drastic things actually. Firstly while waiting for my 10am shift today, I wrote a long email to the forensic institute director in KL, asking for a placement in the institute. I subtlely hinted by middle of this year, but if he was to tell me that there's an opening next month, I would gladly pack everything and move on to greener pasture. Then at exactly 4.30pm while waiting for my shift to end at 5pm, I called the hospital director and went straight to the point about not being happy in the casualty and requested for either placement in anaesthesia or back in surgery OMG I know. The director will consider.

So now my life again has reached a crossroad. Over the next few weeks or so I need to make life-altering choices, once again, and it's so scary exciting.
