Day 17- Temp Staff Status

I'm very overwhelmed by work this week. Been at IP since Thur taking photos of Xrays and downloading them into the computer. Quite a mammoth task, each patient has about 7 or more shots and there are like about 100 patients. And you have to put them up on the lightbox and then take them down again. Such repetitive actions caused me a lot of 'subluxations' in my back and neck. My back was so VERY stiff that in the end I decided to "hou zhe lian bi" and ask the new Dr to adjust me. But that was not before he gave me a talk on adjustments&Xrays. Well, I was quite willing to accomodate his talk (although I can regurgitate everything myself) so long as I get adjusted!! He's quite charming really although he reminds me of another certain Dr..... And yes, he agreed that my back and neck were REALLY stiff, "you've been doing a lot of studying there :D" Not studying la, sloughing more likely. I feel like a workaholic, "tuition queen". I've got tuition on Tue, Thur, Sat, Sun and piano on Fri, on top of working at the clinic where things are quite over the top.... How can my spine be stress-free?? I really want more adjustments but a bit too pai seh to ask afterall my job status is only "Temp Staff". Yeah, I temp staff who worked for >1 year. Still temp??

I'm back at Prosper Hse doing designing stuff. He doesn't want me to go to the other clinics to help scan Xrays although Morrie kindly invited me to PP. I feel quite inclined to say Yes because she's really so friendly and likeable. Like a nanny!! But I dare not disobey boss' orders. It's not too bad at Prosper Hse too, I think they kinda missed me cos they were being real friendly today. Also, I just spoilt his Panasonic digicam and he's in a bad mood today I heard. I don't really like it when pple are in a bad mood, whenever somebody is in a bad mood, I really wish I can do sth to ease the mood but then again my 'powers' are limited.

But I managed to let my hair down a bit last night when we went to celebrate Xuan's birthday. We went to Fish&Co. at Wheelock Place. Girls' night out. But we weren't too happy with the service there: late in serving the food although we asked so many of the waiters..., late in refilling our glasses, so hard to catch their attention even when you actually want to PAY them for the bill, and worst still, they had such a elaborate birthday celebration for the birthday girl at the next table, even did a "rah-rah" cheer and gave her a complimentary cake and balloon. And there we were with Birthday Xuan feeling none too pleased.
