I survived... barely

Hey everyone!

I survived!! Woohoo!! While I survived, I'm beat ^_^; These past two weeks have been really bad and I'm determined not to do anything this week-end. Just stay home, relax and plan my trip to NYC. Can't believe it's one week away only!! I don't know where time has gone!!


For those who are interested, Thursday was indeed a very, very, very long day. The free walk-in clinic part was a success. Between 150-160 men participated and we got about 80 samples which is really good :) Tell you the truth, if we had more, we wouldn't have been able to process them all. I really liked the free walk-in clinic part, interacting with the people and all. Also, we pretty much finished on time, which is always a bonus :)

What I'm annoyed at is the processing part of the samples. I don't mind helping out with that part... what I mind is my boss telling - no, obliging!! - my co-workers to take a break... Because they're doing it so fast! Seriously?!? Seriously?!? Why does working fast is synonymous of sloppiness instead of efficiency in his head? Like what better proof that he doesn't trust us? I can do with micro-management. I mean, not fun, but I can deal with it... but lack of trust? Ugh. Also, I'm really starting to wonder if my co-worker and I haven't spoiled him too much? I mean, as an employee, I should be efficient. However, when's the limits? You couldn't believe with all the "ideas" he came up with for that day ^_^;

Anyway, guess till what time we stayed at the lab? 12.40am. Ugh. I'm happy it happens only once a year... but that's one too many in my opinion. I was dead, my back was killing me so much as I've been on my feet the whole day. But we got it all done! At a cost...


Now, I want my life back to normal. I want to go through the list of authors I want to meet at the literary autographing event... I want to blog-hop and prepare reviews... I want to read! I want my life back :)
