Monday is usually Cyber Monday for me. I do most of my tasks online and then proceed to my real life career but today, I had to attend to my real life work first because there are so many pending tasks that I had to work on from 8-9:30am, I am so proud of myself working that efficient so I can do my online tasks. Now that I am free, I am browsing favorite sites and blogs plus I am checking my email and had to reply to some before I go back to work. I only had 2 patients this morning, too slow for a Monday but I am a bit glad about that since I need to attend to other tasks. I hope it will be more lax tomorrow, my son is going back to school after being sick for a week and after school he will be staying here so I have to attend to him a little bit even if he will be coming with his nanny.
I accompanied my husband yesterday to grab a couple of stuff for their office since we are already in the right place, he volunteered to grab a receipt printer for who know what!?! Since they don’t sell anything at work, a couple of ink jet for their printers, some boxes of small stuff like pens and paper clips that their office called and we just had to pick them up from their supplier. I had to problems with that, I bought a couple of folders and fasteners as well. We even had lunch and coffee after so, this trip is not so business like after all. Anyway, when I came to work, I received an email from IKEA and their 2012 Catalog is out, more on that on my next post.
I’ve been document scanning since yesterday and this is not my line of work which is why it bores me big time. I don’t mind the scanning at all but when it takes almost half of your day, it gets tiring actually. Plus the scanner is situated in a room where I can’t talk to anybody. So what am I scanning? Previous records of patients that will be thrown away but they want to keep all the data in case the need arises. I actually stopped scanning today at 10am, I might resume on Friday because I need to take a day off from work tomorrow, it’s my son’s 4th birthday and I will be spending the whole day with my toddler!
So what will I be doing today? I need to organize so much stuff and attend to the patients I wasn’t able to attend to yesterday because I was busy with all the documents. A couple of them already met with me this 11am and I am expecting 2 more this afternoon. Now that’s work for me!
We are required to wear white most of the time but I feel that any hospital work is a lot of work and you don’t sit around most of the time to maintain your white uniform clean so I hope our hospital administration requires scrubs at work. I really want to get some Cherokee scrubs for myself. Good thing we are allowed to wear anything we want after Mondays, when we have our flag raising.I am wanting these designs for quite some time now and I hope when I visit the states, I can order a few for work.
And I might order a couple of white lab coat…
It’s a Holiday today, at least in the city where my hubby and I work but my husband needs to do some sideline work to earn extra money so he will be going to his previous boss office in Makati to attend to his techie needs and update some desktops in the office. He might be staying there for a while so he asked me to search for some business cards printing online and thank goodness for my searching ability (not to mention Googling) that I found the best printing services. He will be happy when he comes home. I hope he won’t be furious with the messy bedroom though. I can’t thoroughly clean the bedroom since I have to take care of our son who is now having his “me” time coloring some Disney characters. 
Because I had these this lunch today…
This is almost 500 calories already! Goodness!
Then I also had this…
The veggies are no problem but the dressing! It’s like more than 200 already. HAHA…
I need to get those crash diets that work! I miss Wendy’s and just this week, I saw a friend’s Flickr account with Wendy’s food photos uploaded and had cravings since then. Must be the hormones, I have my monthly visitor this week, anyway. I went 10 minutes of walking but I don’t that is enough, I need to go on the stationary bike or else I should skip dinner which is wrong, my body will build more fats if I go hungry. Oh boy, this is surely hard work. I’m really getting younger. HAHA.
We always celebrate an occasion with a boodle fight at work. You see we are in a military environment and boodle fights are common. So what is a boodle fight?
Boodle Fight is a military style of eating where long tables are prepared and food are on top of the banana leaves. Viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands, jugs of water are prepared on the side to wash hands before the “eating combat”. With the signal to start the boodle fight, everyone aims for his/her position.
I usually don’t join because I always have lunch with my husband but once in awhile I do, it’s not like my weight will be affected with just one boodle fight, I need a weight loss pill for the longest time anyway.I just hate my hand smelling food after washing it, even I used a lot of soap, fragrant soaps still don’t work. Here is the photo of our boodle fight last Thursday…
Just to give you an idea what they served us that day. Here a close up…
Fried Fish, Pansit (Filipino version for cooking noodles), Pork Menudo, Grilled Eggplant and Shrimp Sauce! Messy! But definitely YUMMY!
