Week 9- RoAdShow AfTerMath

I slept like a log yesterday after standing the whole day at the Health & You Roadshow. As usual, the queue was non-stop and I didn't get any rest at all. My feet were so sore and I could feel them giving way already. When I reached home, I immediately hit the sacks and 'snored' (figuratively) all the way till I pulled myself out of bed at 7 this morning. The roadshow experience was fine except nearly losing my voice at some point and getting scolded by 1 or 2 unreasonable customers. But it still felt different at the RS. It feels different working with people you're familiar with and people you're not. The new staff are doing quite a good job as it is now but I rather go back to one year back, working with Carol and Xiaoxuan. And the satisfaction in seeing it a success. My experience yesterday kept reminding me that I was a "temp" staff only. While the older drs tried to catch up a little, the new drs attitude were pretty discourteous. The way they handled the patients were also very patronizing. If I were 'checked' by them I don't think I'd be convinced to sign up.

One dr asked why I wasn't under Chiropractic Care after so long. Well, it just doesn't come across to anyone that I need some help here on my spine... When the whole office went for free X-Rays this "temp" staff was sloughing away in the office.

And this "temp" staff received a sms that day saying that the poster she created was "full of grammatical and syntax errors". Well, the poster only had about 30 words and only 2 slight errors were pointed out 'member' not 'members', 'complimentary' not 'free complimentary' so how can it be "FULL" of errors?! And, it was the boss wrote and approved the message. The sms had to pass through 2 other pple b4 it was fwd to me and I was told "not to let the boss know they fwded the actual msg to me..." Great.

But Saturday was better I guess cos I managed to do some shopping at the Hereen after the very long Econs competion which took up my whole afternoon causing me to miss Huiqi's musical performance!!! *Sigh* The competition made wonder what I was doing the whole of my 2 years in JC. How nice it would be to be selected to rep. your sch at inter-sch acadamic competitions. But most of the time I was trying to break the "C/D" barrier and get into "B/A" group so maybe I should just wish I was one of those brilliantly clever pple who ace exams w/o studying... If I were them then I could rep the sch.....*faraway look in eyes*.... But back to shopping at Heeren, I bought a top and a hairband, lip gloss and some facial masks that day. I'm a firm believer in retail therapy. It really does wonders in lifting spirits...makes you forget (momentariliy) the problems that have been plaguing you the whole day.
