MAKE IT STOP!
Finally, I can take a breather. *big breath in and out*. Tonight's been nuts! I've been running around literally non-stop since 10:34pm and it's now, what's the time now? 7:51am! Wah Piang! (Louis, Singaporeans use this as an exclamation sometimes, I dunno when or how to use it, but it just feels appropriate in this instance.) This has been the busiest night of nights ever!
I QUIT! Nah... I QUIT! Should have been a dentist! (Yeah, they have it sweet!) *grumble grumble*. Haha. No no no, I love my job. It get's a little crazy at times, like when everyone on the wards seem to get sick all at once and there are acute admissions left right centre and nurses page you incessantly for sedation and laxatives (for the patients, not for themselves), but when it's all done and you're still alive, it gives you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. And to hear a soft "thank you" as you leave wee old Mrs. T's bedside after making her feel better with nothing more than a little analgesia and reassurance just makes all the toiling worth while.
Hehe, naughty nurses. At about 5am, after realising I was really busy, and after I had whined and moaned (teasingly) about being paged so much tonight and after I stomped into the 4C nursing station flinging my arm and dramatically demanding they "make the work stop, make it all stop NOW!", they promised not to page me again for the rest of the night. And guess what? Just after I stepped off the ward, MY PAGER WENT OFF! But this time it wasn't a job page, it cheekily read "we promised we would txt you, love 4c".
Oh yes, I have to thank Wan Ing and Daryl for leaving me texts throughout the night. And Wan Ing who volunteered to pray. :) Good to know I wasn't alone. *sigh*. Oh, and Terence (my posse) rang me all the way from Msia.
Moral(s) of the day:
- If you're busy with a purpose, it makes things all worthwhile.
- Good things can come in the form of something you dread.
- La Vitans never walk alone.
