I noticed how cheery my posts have been. Well, I reckon I'm into one of my emotional moods. Just today, I had a talk with my mentor re finding happiness in life. Happiness can be found in any shape and sizes. Its basically your approach towards it.
I feel that there are too many things that tie people down unnecessarily and when we get caught up with life's nitty-gritties, I find that I get quite uptight. I can't generalise for the rest. Just recently, I spoke to my boss about applying for 3 days leave to go on a family trip to Shanghai. As it falls within the month of April where the hospital will be undergoing re-accreditation for JCI (Joint Commission International - similar to ISO but this is world class accreditation), staff are generally not encouraged to take leave during this period since anyone (the auditors are targeting junior staff and I happen to fall into this category) may be called for auditing. So back to my topic, my boss told she has to check it out and will let me know if I can take leave for the first 3 days of April.
Coincidentally, I received a call from HR today to collect my access card and my new name tag. So, I used the opportunity and enquired about taking leave prior to my first 3 months and was advised not to take unless absolute importance or I could take no-pay leave. Upon hearing the statement, I felt rather "sian" (I can't find a better emotion to describe it). I need to speak to my boss about it - I will probably not take it until 9th April or rather from the month of May.
Anyhow, I think a need a weekend getaway / retail therapy / holiday. The daily routine: wake, work, rest, sleep is starting to get rather monotonous, with occasional dinner meet-ups with Soph to spice up my life. I think I deviated from the title of my post. To keep Jo happy, short trips anyone?
