Struggling Hands On

23rd May (Saturday) - It's already nearly going to be the end of May, hence my 3rd month. In other words, nearly end of my probation, hence I'm now doing all I can to prove to the higher ups that I'm committed to the job. And since this department it's so much better than my last one, with supportive colleagues and allowing me to read cosmetic magazines to keep up to date to the latest treatments, so it isn't all work and no play.

Besides finding my newfound love for chess, I'm now allowed to do things hands on, under supervision of course, but I'm allowed to do things on my own now, but under assessment. I don't mind, as long I'm able to pass probation.

I gotten a list of what I needed to do, so I just followed exactly on the list, but doing proper hands on it's really a struggle. Don't think giving facials is something like a walk in the park, once you hands on, you'll know how tough it is to clean the sticky clay mask that is stuck on. Not to mention the bursting acnes, I tell you, moments later my gauze were soaked with blood. Ah, I thought I gave the blood up when I left the ward, but I guess when you're in my line of work, you can never escape from the crimson fluid that smells of meat and copper.

I'm now on strict assessment which means I'm doing hands on from A to Z, and assisting the doctors with the laser machines. Last time I'm doing on and off helping, so now it's time to prove my worth. I'm not really that good with machines, but it's okay to take baby steps, but I have to pick up fast. Most of the procedures are more or less the same, but with few twists depending on the doctors and procedure. But I'm slowly getting the hang of it. A very nice change I must say.

There's really not much to say at this point, except can I just say, the amount of money people throw just to maintain their beauty is really ridiculous, but as the doctors told me, you have to start maintaining your beauty at a young age if you want to age beautifully.
