Went for my follow up on Monday and guess what I got from the doctor? Yes, another week of MC and 2 bars of stronger painkillers. Those mushrooms which bloomed last week dried and a new batch has bloomed, this time more in quantity. I have to continue my sleep, eat, sleep, eat, and sleep routine for another week...how nice...
Many of my friends envy me for having the chance to rest at home. Actually, it is nice to rest at home IF you are physically fit. For my condition, 坐又不是, 躺又不是, 站又不是, 走又不是, is actually not that enjoyable. Second follow up is scheduled for next Monday, hopefully I will not get another week of MC. If that really happened, am afraid if my workstation is still vacant for me when I return.

Extended medical leave
Was asked why have I not been updating my blog. Nope, I was not busy. It was all because I was lazy.
I slipped and fell from the staircase last Saturday, I thought I would be paralysed as I was in severe pain and could not move for the first 10 minutes. Guess my mind was too drama as I managed to stand up afterthat, but I was still in severe pain. Went to see Orthopedic on Monday and the xray shows that I have crack on my spinal cord(S5, whatever this is). The doctor gave me one week of medical leave to rest at home. One week! I've never taken one week of medical leave. You must be thinking it must be great to have a week off from work. That's what I thought too! but it turned out to be not as fun as I thought it would be. Due to this injury, I cannot sit, cannot drive properly, I can only lay down or stand and walk (slowly). So shopping, lunching, sing K, watch movie is not an option. I did not set my foot out of the gate this whole week. I was telling my friend today "It has been a week I did not touch the tar road." Guess what was the suggestion? "Oh, then you just walk out of your house, touch the tar road, then walk back in." (wow~how come I never thought of that?) Sometimes I just wonder how did I get to know such 'brilliant' friend....
So what have I been doing this week? Wake up in the morning, take my brunch and medication, lay down and watch TV, fall asleep at 3pm+, wake up at 5pm+, have my dinner, then sleep. In a nutshell, my life this week is to zzzz, eat, zzzz, eat, and zzzz. Ahh...life is so blissful...for the first few days, came the 4th day, I can feel mushrooms blooming from my head...
Follow up check is next Monday, hopefully doctor is happy with my recovery.
To all readers, please be extremely careful when you are walking down a wet staircase. The pain really stinks and it takes forever to heal. Doctor said for my case, it will usually takes 3~4 weeks to heal...sigh...cannot even sit comfortable...no clue how I will survive 8 hours of office works next week. Hopefully I will feel better next week. I have been diligently taking calcium supplements and milk daily (mooooo~), in hope that the crack will heal by tomorrow...Can't be more optimistic....

To my beloved Patra...
Patra, June 1995 ~ June 2009
You came to our family as a puppy, as cute as you can. I can still remember when mom and dad took you out from the car, You were spotless. It was just like yesterday. We grew together, went to the playground and played the slide together, got scolded by dad together, got wet together when I wash the car. As You grew, spots start to appear on your body. You've always liked to sunbath, sleep under the car, refused to shower, and hide when the lighting strikes. All these memories are what is left by You to the family. You have been obedient and took good care of the family and we are always proud of You. Today, 16 June 2009, You were called by HIM, and have to leave the family. It is difficult for the family and I am sure it must be even difficult for You. For You have been with and loved the family for the past 14 years unconditionally. Please take care and rest in peace, You will forever be missed and remembered by the family. We will miss You, Patra...

My irritating colleague
I am sure everyone will have that someone which you hate most in your work place. Let's name this irritating colleague of mine ZZ
Today, office was having blood donation drive. I was in the room chatting with those who are donating, ZZ came and register to be a donor. Earlier, I've checked with the nurse and was advised that I am not fit to donate as today the first day of my menses and most of my colleagues are aware. Half way chatting with our HR manager, ZZ, trying to be smart interrupted our conversation telling HR "you should bring her(me) to the toilet to check if her claim is TRUE. What a coincident?"
OMG! Can you believe it? This actually came out from a guy's mouth! What sort of guys will say such a thing? I so wanted to stuff the bloody pad into his mouth and give him 2 tight slap on his face (pardon my language). I find this so rude and disrespectful!! Not even a word of apology from ZZ, and he thought the statement was funny! I hope he will be a woman in his next life and bleed to death!! I hate guy who does not respect woman!! I so wanted to tell the nurse to drain his blood dry...bleed bleed bleed~~hahahahhaha....

Some farnee colleague...
So frustrated with some funny attitudes that one has towards their errors.
An email was sent to a colleague AJ last evening at 5:43pm to update the system. Called AJ at 5pm today to check on the status of the update and was told that "it was not done yesterday because the email was sent after 5:30pm" but managed to work on a similar request that we sent past 6pm yesterday. What sort of excuses is this? It is obvious that AJ overlooked the first request. I just cannot understand why can't AJ just admit that the email request was oversighted? The change requires 24 hrs to take effect and now it is delayed. OK, let's take it that the email got to AJ 13mins after the official office hours, it could have been actioned first thing in the morning but no...it can only be actioned after my follow up call..hmm..if the email is not overlooked, I wonder what other reasons could it be...maybe AJ purposely delay it so that AJ can listen to my annoyed voice?
The moment I heard AJ said that the email was not actioned on time because the email reached her 13 minutes after the office hours, I so wanted to throw my chair towards AJ. Here I am trying to clean up a mess that was caused by AJ because a project got delayed due to few of AJ's oversight. Me and another colleague had to explain and apologise to the business on errors that were not done by us and with AJ behaving with such beh tahan attitude, I feel like giving AJ a piece of my mind. Can't one just apologise for the errors they've done? What would they get by behaving like this? This is so irritating and frustrating. The best thing is, I am of higher hierarchy than AJ but seems like AJ is the boss. OMG! Really beh tahan...Argh~
