Anyway I finally started work this week! Hurray!!! Surprisingly I was not nervous or anxious or excited at all. I think I was at the point where I just needed to do something. Anything. So when I got the OK from the hospital I was just so ready to jump right in. They started me off with the basic tasks, of course. I have been tech-ing all week and it has not been too difficult. I make harmless mistakes every now and then but everyone has been really helpful and kind to help me. My supervisor is really friendly and laughs all the time. People have been inviting me to lunch to make sure I do not have to sit by myself. Everyday someone will come up to me and introduce themselves. I am surprised at how many pharmacists who only just joined CGH within the last 6 months. It is a really nice environment to work in and there is a good work dynamics within the department.
Tonight we had the pharmacy end-of-year party at a buffet restaurant. I bumped into other colleagues as I was on my way there so I did not have to go alone. Then I sat with the in-patient pharmacists who I have been working with these few days. I had a great time talking to them and participating in the games. I even won the 2nd prize of the lucky draw! And I am one of those people who never win anything! It was great to see everyone outside of the hospital and have a great time. I probably ate too much though, just like everyone else~
I don't want to make this comment too early because I don't want to disappoint myself later. But I have to say that I really enjoying working at CGH. I hope this will be a good start for the next three years :)
