Enter March

2nd March (Monday) - A brand new day, a brand new month, a brand new workplace. The very thought makes me wants to dance around. No more thinking of the past, it's a clean fresh start, a blank slate for me.
I feverishly prayed hard that this will finally be the place for me to be happy, a chance where I can finally belong to after a lot of pitfalls. The workload was demanding, of course, but I guess that's what makes it a challenge in life. It's like I always say, if things are too simple, we might end up being potatoes, or things might end up being dull. If writing were so simple, I don't think authors will be cracking their heads for research and new ideas. I'm aiming for the completion of sequel for Supernatural Demon Slayers by this year, but with the new environment to catch up to, I'm a little afraid I own't make it on time, but I must persevere @.@
Of course, orientation is a must for new staff. And as always, I gotten myself lost...again. Sigh, this is getting really ridiculous. I have a map for this round, yet I ended up in the wrong place because when I use a different lift, I ended up coming from the other side and have to double back. Compared to my previous workplace, this is nothing, but still I find myself getting lost. Precisely why I refused to use the stairs even though I'm only working a few floors up, because sometimes you never know where you ended up to, although once I fully got the navigation right, I will resort to the stairs because I can never be patient for waiting for the lifts, especially when I used to work at the highest floor and everyone kept stopping at each floor. So frustrating and makes me re-think the whole elevators are convenient statement.
I was expected to master everything in 6 months, and again, I got a little worried. I had a 6 month experience at a multi-discipline ward but now I'm exposed to another new environment. Can I manage it? Of course, I have to believe and stay strong. This maybe a new environment, but procedures are the same, except the workflow, but protocols usually stays the same, more or less. I wasn't allowed to touch anything on my first day, but with everyone so busy, I was advised to sit at the counter and man the phones. Uh-huh. The funny part was... since I was at a new workplace, I was a little off because my mouth was about to say the wrong hospital name, but I somehow managed to form the right words out, and I did not forgot my telephone courtesy. Since I didn't recognize most people, I ended up going a lot of "Um,um, please hold a moment." When the caller found out I was new, she took pity on me and left a message, which I managed to write down with precision, except the person that she wants, never showed up in the end due to the conflict in her schedule.
For some weird reason, I only just came in and then many staff were showing up requiring my signature. Wha-at? I've been here less than 24 hours and already everyone were like, "I need you to sign here, missy." Ah, okay. Although I'll say that my signature is really horrible, unless you want my author signature, but then that wouldn't be legal.
Since now I'm working office hours, expect some posts to be late or combined, but as always, I'll try my best to update each day, unless I'm too busy or too exhausted.
