MUST BE NICE...

see related article here.

in the midst of this so-called recession and the massive taxpayer's money that has been given to some of these companies to bail them out of their sinkholes, where do these people get the nerve to pay themselves.

i wish i had a tool to zap these fat-bellied sharks out of oblivion.

and yes I care because i sympathize with all taxpayers out there whose hard-earned money even barely make it to the food table!

mames me think - why dont we all stick to the old method of saving money (i.e. piggybanks)? let's put them out of business once and for all...

Work sucks...

Creating electronic documentation system that best reflect policy is a challenging task, especially when the policy cannot support current organizational realities. Compounding the complexity of the situation are the stakeholder's egos.

I'm really not reflecting - I'm ranting. I'm so frustrated. Am I the only one thinking things thoroughly?

Looking at this from my perspective, the project is rather a much simple task that got out of hand because of too many "hands stirring the pot". As much as I am working with "bright people", I am too disheartened right now and disillusioned @ their "greatness". I wish they would put their brain muscle to good use and start thinking logically. How can I simply turn off my clinical judgement and be expected just to build things when i know in my gut instinct that this thing I'm supposed to build is just not going to fly? My name is attached out there too! I just can't say "Don't shoot the messenger"!

Should I make it my problem? Hell yeah coz it means i'm just going to redo all this shit the minute they realize that what they are thinking from the get-go is incorrect.

Maybe I'll go back to wiping patients' arses. I mean literally. I can't stand swiping some head honcho's arse just for the sake of building up their ego or not wanting to be seen as a complainer and a plan-botcher.

THE ONE THING I'VE LEARNED ABOUT CAREER ADVANCEMENT IS...

before lunchtime yesterday i had managed to talk myself int omaking the decision to go back to floor nursing. training nurses to do electronic documentation was fun at first but the novelty wore off after 2 months of training. so i made the decision to go back to the floor when my contract in IS

ANNOYING DAYS, CULTURAL APPRAISAL and etc.

this week has been hell for me. i'm teaching this huge influx of nursing students and they have been testing my patience. or maybe i'm at the end of my stick in this job. no i think its them.

days like this makes me wanna take a large deep breath with a burning stick on my lips.

when you live in a multi-cultural environment you notice little things about each individual...

the "brown" people a.k.a. east asians a.k.a. indians, paki, and what have you... think they are superior and everything around them is stupid. including the teacher. never satisfied. even though they're the ones who sound duh-ish.

the "asians" - chekua, koreano... god bless them as they are smart, but the language barrier are making them look dumb. and by golly do they talk over you - while i am TEACHING in the class. and loudly too. so disrespectful.

the "flips" - smile lang lagi. kahit nahihirapan. pero smile lang lagi...

ang mga puti (canadians, north americans) - tries to appear they know everything. what else is new?

ang mga eastern european - cool lang. but sometimes, the language barrier sucks.

western europeans - just love the accent... hahhahaha...biased ba? no they are polite. especially the brits.

not so much africans - but when i have them in my class i love them to pieces. they're the most gentle person and nicest person i've ever known. and please don't confuse them with black north americans because you can see the difference sa ugali talaga.
