march 2010

March is here, CNY is just official over and this year from beginning of CNY and the end of it also i am off and manage to celebrate it with my mother.

To be honest, i didn't really expect that i will be granted this CNY to be off from duty as i was not working last year too. Guess since i ask, SNM just grant it as there is equal of number of staff to run the ICU.

It was a quieter this year as my Fifth Maternal Aunt and her family was not celebrating with us, their car broke down and it cost them a huge bomb to repair it at a foreigner territory and to upset with her husband in lack of responsibility in car servicing prior of long journey.

But this year, my Fourth Maternal Uncle joined us for two days as his whole family was in KL and Alor Setar and he choose not to join them as he need a peace from his wife constant nagging on his smoking. And he does smoke really really heavy as my mother as reminder me not to upset him on the smoking and temporary lift up my banning of smoking in our house for his sake as all his family members is not in town. And yes, i did bear with his smoking.

Work have been busy and it manage to tone down just before CNY and most of us just got extra off due to the low number of patients. I seriously don't know why NeuroICU is having the alternate year of massive resign/transfer-out/non-pay-leave event again. Have been deploying staff to there every days and sometimes, two shifts in a day. And now to solve the problem, SNM is asking for transfer over there to narrow the shortage.

And i seriously think the work-politic us really powerful there and at DNA too. How can a staff who are trained in different speciality and transfer to us and our colleagues have to cover the problem created by the staff there.

And i do wonder, where did all the staff left to???? Aren't the scale is unbalance now?????

And i guess, i might be the next on line for promotion but suddenly i realised that there is a lots of "short-cuts" taken by certain group of people for promotion!! And i might end to be push back down..... hmmmm..... do i really care???

And of course the promotion and the salary is attractive and it do help in my traveling plans.

Have i reach there??
