Some thoughts on Anzac Day

Today is Anzac Day, a day to honour the wartime heros who defend Australia from Japanese invasion(correction: should be the day to honour the soldiers who fought in WWI). It's a public holiday arross the country, but well, I'm sitting my arse in the surgery now instead of my nice warm bed. I feel so sleepy. I can doze off anytime....

It's the downside of my job: Work on public holiday without double pay, a hardly 45 mins lunch break on normal work days, lots of overseas patients who don't understand a word of English... etc etc. Sometimes I told myself not to complain, afterall, the money is not bad. The doctors are nice to me. It can't be perfect.

Dr.Wong has become less and less agressive and unreasonable after the warning letters from HIC. He's seeing only 50-60 patients everyday now, compare with 70-80 before. I think he's working towards the good end gradually. For myself, I change too. The first few months I was not happy with him and I often not listen to his words. Now I do whatever please me. I don't really care if he gets me chatting on the Internet or updating my blog while opening a patient record or answering a phone call from the hospital as long as I deliver the good. He doesn't complain anything anymore coz he got nothing to complain.

I don't know how long I would like to stay in this surgery. I'm still standing in a crossroad wondering my way. Perhaps I should back Hong Kong for more job opportunities, or get married and have a few children? I am not so sure. I don't think I can settle down my life so easily, although stability and security are always the things I search for. Well I think I'm going too far now. Let's get down to work and stop thinking.
