sometimes you can't say things too early, last post I was complaining how much free time I had and now I am physically and mentally exhausted cos work has been so busy... full caseload and we have a waiting list which is a first for the team... and it does not help that I have a second year student whom I am sharing supervision with... it is a coindence really, cos when I was on placement at Nepean, I was doing my second year placement and now being a supervisor for the first time, I have a second year student... and it feels really strange completing the evaluation forms again but as a supervisor... it's weird... had Thai lunch on Wed cos it was Frances' birthday, I hate Thai, but no choice, cos she is in my team... even though I did not enjoy lunch, I was able to find out a little more about the members in my team... and build rapport... which is very important working in the hospital and in a team... and on Thurs, we had a farewell lunch for Kate who has left for RPA, I did not enjoy lunch becos it was Thai again... and everyone was just talking in small groups... but I was really glad I went to after work drinks... it was a small group of us, and we had so much fun and laughs... or I had fun... Dawn is hilarious and I am going to miss Kate's laugh... I really felt like we bonded that night... stayed longer than I thought I would cos I thought I would be bored like at Nat's birthday recently... had an incident recently which was patient related... instead of coming to me and discussing with me what the problem was, Nat went to speak to Deanna instead, and after speaking to Deanna as well, we have concluded that it was a procedure related issue... but Nat and I have yet to speak about it and I wonder if should raise this issue with her... we have been getting along quite well up until this happened and I am now more cautious around her...
started baking cos colleagues have persuaded me to started learning how to bake and cook... so I baked my first flourless chocolate cake which was unsuccessful and yucky, but the second attempt was way better... definitely have to use dark chocolate to reduce the flavour of almond meal... next challenge appeared to be baking cupcakes I think... and then today, one of the diversional therapists suggested that I start learning knitting as well... I was like "what's this?? am I training to become a housewife??!!" baking maybe, dunno about knitting... can't imagine myself knitting...
work finally approved of my leave over xmas and new year... definitely looking forward to going home, but the down side is that the air tickets are sooooooooo expensive... but it was a choice of making use of the holidays or using up my precious annual leave days... so no choice...
we also bought tickets to Fish Leong's concert end july... really looking forward to this as well... although I know it's not going to be as exciting and fancy as SHE, I am a huge fan of her songs so will definitely update on the concert at next post...
it's that time of the year again, tax time... sian... this time I am going to try getting the accountant to help me do it and see if it is worth it...
