Working

More often than not, I pick up my overtime work on Friday nights, mainly because I would be off for the following day. Since I work 1 weekend a month, that arrangement does not always work. I usually have the day off on  Friday before and Monday after the weekend rotation. On that week rotation, I would pick up OT on Thursday nights and Sunday nights, respectively.

Today is chaotic. One blood analyzer broke in the middle of the shift. To call tech support is basically useless, to say the least. But, we manage. For the love of the children. For work professionalism. Seriously, my most favorite part of my job, aside from the human aspect, is troubleshooting. I love tinkering with the machines. I fix them, I do not break them. It frustrates me if I can not fix it by the end of my shift and find out later that somebody else did, and that the solution was right on my face. I should have been an engineer, to which my Tatang would say... "Ay Apo!" ( My Lord)... bless that man. He knows so many things, I consider him gifted. No joke, but my tatang can tell if the weather is gonna be bad, if the night is good for fishing, how bad the typhoon is and so much more. Oh, well. Maybe that's where I got my "tinkering" ability. Just common sense. Haahhahha.

How about you, what do you love about your job?

happy weekend peeps!

Just saying

This is just what I need today. Venti Iced Americano with extra shot of espresso

Sometimes you just gotta let your frustrations go... meaning to finally say what you feel upfront. At work, it is frustrating when someone just does not want to adjust to make everybody's life easier. Sometimes people need to realize it is not about themselves all the time, learn to look around and feel free to accomodate the need of the greater good. Do not force me to push it when you could actually respond when I ask nice the first time... I am not geared/programmed to pretend I am annoyed. just saying.

Nice weather outside

That's right. Boston is 45-49F! You can actually see people in light sweaters- in good mood! You see, Bostonians are perceived to be grumpy compared to the rest of the USA. We attribute that to the crazy New England weather. But this is not what this post is about.

The point is, sunny and nice outside and Bernadette ( she does not refer to herself in the third person all the time, by the way) is INSIDE WORKING! Yeah, that's right, working! Duh!
