Temp job experience

Hey guise! I'm finally back blogging here! Really sorry that it took awhile for me to update in detail because work has been really tiring, like SUPER. Ever since I started working, I slept at 10pm everyday or even 9pm on certain days. But to be fair, I don't think my job is that tiring because all I do is to assist the doctors(?) Maybe it's just because I'm always tired but work depleted my energy even more. 

And in case you don't already know, I have been working in KKH Eye Clinic for the past 3months 2weeks as a Patient Service Associate. And yes, my contract finally ended on 31/3/2017. :) I'm proud of myself for finishing my first ever work contract. I must say I really learnt a lot from the doctors 

and staff there. It was really an eye-opening experience for me.

But of course, in every workplace, there are weird people, fake people, bossy people, bootlickers, etcetc, and this workplace, is no exception.

I'm not the kind of person who will show you attitude for little things you do that pissed me off. I wouldn't say I'm very patient or tolerant of nonsense but I do have a little of that patience or tolerance. Once you step over my limit, you're literally setting fire on yourself.

There are nice people in Eye Centre, and just to name a few are the people whom I took pictures with on my last day :) They are really sweet and caring people.

However, unfortunately in my 3months 2weeks there, there's this ONE staff  named C, who constantly step over my limit. First few week, I tolerated her bullshits literally. Every single thing I do, she'll be there criticising it. I don't mind criticism but the things she criticises are so mild and it doesn't really quite matter? I tolerated initially because I thought maybe I was new so she's teaching me to be more meticulous and all. 

But after 1month, I saw the way C treated the less senior staff and the way she treated the more senior staff. I saw it with my own eyes. I felt so frustrated at her because the people she scolded were quite innocent??? And the issue just doesn't even quite concern her LOL. 

Let me quote her favourite phrase, "You work here for so long already, still don't know how to do meh?" She likes to say that to those staff who worked there for shorter duration than her and it's irritating everytime I hear her say that. One reason is because the number of years you worked there doesn't really matter because certain issues can be complicated because of how the clinic runs and literally every staff is learning something new everyday.

There was one day I couldn't stand it anymore, I just told her off after that. There was a time she missed out a bundle of casesheet while we were checking them and I purposely tell her that she made that particular mistake and guess what she said? She replied with "sorry lor, then you all check, I'm going home." So irresponsible of her and I regret not criticising her like how she like to criticise other staff. I totally regret not telling her "You work here for so long already, check casesheet also can miss out one bundle ah?"

I can only say I hate her character. She's totally that kind who only want to be recognised by older staff by bootlicking them and bully young staff. What rubbish seriously..

And on my last day, I was unfortunately placed in the screening room. Again, she came to pissed me off even on my last day!!!! For an easily correctable small mistake, she bulged into the room to question me. It was over the yellow highlight on the queue ticket!!! She was like "妹妹，为什么这个有highlight的? 为什么tests还没做完就highlight了？为什么。。。。。。" I swear she literally asked all the "WHYs" as though she's interrogating a criminal wts -.- And she gave that bitch-face of hers when she asked all the damn WHYs. I was furious omg. Over the highlight on the queue ticket, she came to ask so many damn WHYs. I could literally feel my blood pressure rise at that moment LOL. It's a feeling of 忍无可忍 and I decided to just talk back since it's my last day and she's just a SMALL FLY in the clinic although she worked there for 6 years. I replied with "It's just a small issue why you need to make a big fuss out of it leh?" When my doctor heard it, I think she was quite shocked because she never saw that coming from me at all. XD But seriously, after having to work with this kind of person, there will definitely be a day you explode. I believe many staff there didn't because they have to think far as a permanent staff but for me, I'm just a temp and her character is RUBBISH.

There was another time when a patient asked C when will it be her turn to see a doctor. She gave attitude to the patient and almost got complained. In the end, I have to attend to that patient. She can be quite rude to patients sometimes too. She's the true nonsense I swear.

Ok enough of C. Other than her, I think the other staff are pretty okay to me, but fake or not, who knows? Like we all know, every workplace has fake people so just be wary :)

Another person I'm thankful to meet will be Doctor M, who has been teaching me a lot of things about EYES whenever we talk when there's no patients. A very dedicated and patient doctor I must say, unlike certain doctors there who will see patients on a selective basis and avoid seeing kids with autism etcetc.

One other person who has been really nice to me will be Sister Ho. She looks extremely strict when I first saw her at the interview. I was so scared that I actually hope that I failed the interview afterwards, but nope, I didn't fail. No doubt, she is very strict and all the staff are apparently scared of her LOL. But I came to know that she's actually really nice if you do your work properly. She's quite caring towards me and always offering me food. XD At least she's fierce and criticises because she has a position in the clinic to ensure the clinic runs smoothly unlike the bossy staff above.

Thank you KKH Eye clinic for the experience and the nice people I met. To the not-nice people, I will forgive you but I won't forget you and even if I see you outside, I will just act like I'd never known you before in my life. :)
