Essue Ishu or YeeSiew

Had my 24th birthday that day. We went singing in karaoke, then had pasta in norwood (yummmm…). Wanted to go somewhere else for eg bowling or snooker but a lot of us were quite tired after dinner; no surprise, we ended up playing card game (bridge) - again - in my house. Sigh…that’s truly our weekly routine. Overall, it’s really a great day, forgetting i’m another year older - time flies…

Work was still steady and repetitive, until i was traumatised by a breaking news -NI has resigned and leaving for RAH!!! That is soooo depressing…even though i wasn’t impressed by his work ethics (hm…he’s a bit lazy), he’s truly fun to work with. Being same age as me and having been through the same pharmacy years, he’s the only person that i’m comfortable to share my feelings and thoughts (and gossips) with in my workplace. And most importantly, why is my only young cute hot male colleague leaving me (to be honest, i used to have a crush on him in uni, and i think he’s the most good looking guy in my class)!!!???? My boss BS seemed to be fairly ok with NI’s resignation probably bcoz 1: he’s only a "part-timer" in my department (2 days a week in chemo) 2: BS isn’t impressed by his work ethic as well…Instead, BS is a bit paranoid of losing me, which is flattering ofcoz. He’s worried that i’ll be the next in line to hand him the letter, being affected by NI.

NI is not the only 1 leaving, weeks prior to his resignation, my another lunch date SB resigned to persue her new role in RAH too!!! Well, i wasnt really bothered coz even though she’s my another ex-coursemate, we’r simply "distant workmate (we’r not in the same department) + lunchdate" with not much of social interaction (she’ll do most of the talking while i concentrating on my food).

So that’s the trend: switching to public hospital! Apparently, due to the intention of implementing PBS in public hospitals, more and more vacancies will be available in public hospitals for the next year or so. In my company (being privately owned), we cant really address ourselves as hospital pharmacists coz there’s not much of clinical involvement. We deal with a lot of nursing homes, so 50% of pharmacists are webster pack checkers (imaging sitting in front of 1000’s stacks of webster packs for the whole day). We do have clinical pharmacy department, but as far as i know, those clinical pharmacists are asked to do a lot of ‘fei’ stuff like checking the expiry date of imprest ward stock (which BS once sarcastically told me that even a trained monkey can do it well)…

I’m a bit tempted…although i’m quite happy with my current job. Anyway, BS asked me what do i think about getting another full time pharmacist in my department. I didnt agree at first, coz i thought there isnt enough space (and work) for another full time pharmacist. But BS persuaded me by promising that there are still a lot of things have to be done, and he’s gonna expand the department. Well, he’s the boss, what else i can say? I told him that it’s ok with me to get another full time in, provided that it’s a he, age ranges from 21-30, cute, hot, sexy, or at least as good looking as NI. "For goodness sake!!!" he laughed out loud, and promised to bring me along to the interview, if happens to have any male applicant. Ah, that made my day…
