Currently in CAMP ... still doing duty while most of my friends are either CLEARING LEAVE or SLACKING around waiting to clear leave ... Im waiting too ... just that i've still got to hang on till the new medics finish their training in the end of march ... thats when they can finally do duty ...
BORED BORED BORED !!! Lucky for me duty's been reduced from the normal 12 per month to 5 ... really dont feel like bumping ard in camp anymore ... haiz ... lucky there's a com n TV in camp too ... or i'll die of boredom ... really ...
Had a chat with titus n realised that working here is really so UNPREDICTABLE ... one moment u can be half -asleep and almost drooling, the other you would be SCAMPERING about preparing for an emergency ... or suddenly have a DOZEN report sick cases strolling in ... Or have some ple come down for overseas FFI ...
We'll never know if the next meal would be edible ... everytime the food uncle delivers the food packets, we would open the packets in ANTICIPATION of something good ... its like a small kid betting his 1 dollar on the 'lon-tong' machines ... You'll never know what you're gonna get... Sure we have a weekly menu .. but that gets lost on the first day we recieve it ... So its actually more like a small kid opening a happy meal box without knowing what the weekly toy is ...
As for the DUTIES ... we'll only have an idea of when we'll be having duties towards the end of month ...personnel activities have to be planned in advance ... so that we can tell whoever's planning to keep that day free and clear off if its on a weekday !
But then again, our off days are subject to CANCELLATION ... everytime a unit SUPRISES us with another training activity, someone's gotta do it right ? And the surprises do come ever so often ... constant reminders to inform us at least 2 weeks in advance for manpower planning never seem to register ...
We'll never know when's the next time we'll be STEPPING on another millipede while walking and minding our daily work or have another CUDDLE up beside our ears when we're asleep ...
One thing's for CERTAIN though ... ORD 25th April ! A toast to that !
