Work work work

hi hi!

work commences tomorrow... haven't gotten any cny clothes. none that fit plus the usual derisive-terrified stares of proprietesses when i lumber up to them and growl:"anything my size?". summit postponed. brother angry about the no show of his much awaited HPGOA vcd as school reopenes for him tomorrow.

no chances of me making it through standing at lab bench for 12 hours tomorrow. changed dressing myself today. it was pretty asinine. i removed the gauze, syringed the cut with saline, cleaned the cut with chlorhexidine balls and gauze, slopped up the rapidly trickling blood, slapped a single piece of gauze over it which soaked through in 2 seconds, slapped 3 more pieces on top which lasted longer; i managed to tape on 2 strips of micropore before the uppermost piece started getting soaked. put one more piece of gauze on, then held on with my last 2 fingers whilst i tore out the tegaderm and pasted it on with haste. tegaderm sags under the sheer weight of 4 blood-soaked gauze pads right now, 6 hrs after i did the dressing. ditto this for 4 open wounds. man. i feel like i'm going through the whole anemia rigmarole all over again.

dressing changing can be a stress-filled handful.

plus i got dumped officially today. chalk 1 up for DUMPED and number 3 for FAILED LOVE HISTORY. chalk 1 up on my tab - need a lychee martini.

i wonder what alex will say when i keep popping over to NUH *next door only, dear. really. will be back RRRREEEEEEAAAAALLLLLL quick!!* for my appointments. tsktsk if in a good mood. black face and witholding of my Taq polymerase if in a bad mood.

nasty mental image of going through abdominoplasty and gastric banding in the next few months. ditto dressing change nightmare.

the ideals of a beautifully slim body and good health seems to have depreciated significantly since the last time i visited them. i'll be an excellent dressing nurse if nothing else. ready for employment :)

my parents and i are increasingly inclined towards my application for a stall to sell either char kway tiaw or hokkien mee. (with banana leaf) since my chemistry paper keeps haunting me incessantly with my smart aleck 6C sugars answers rather than the 3C sugars required. and the entire question 7 undone in paper 3. chemistry being the most important entry component in the uni score for medicine, dentistry, pharmacology, biology, chemistry etc.

and 710 verbal isn't impressively far away from the bare minimum of 700 for law entry.

i'm afraid of being unemployed even before i'm employable. chicken little?

welcome to your nemesis.
