Digi Mon asked me to rewrite my MP proposal in a different format. So I asked him when do I need to send it in…

From: Digi Mon. To: Fiona.

This coming Friday OK? Check the MP report format and do it the same and ail it to me asap.    In your objectives, add one more which is to come out a recommended client education leaflet for otitis externa for dog owners. Don’t be lazy, I can see you are busy but also lazy. Even in your e mail, never write attention to who and from whom as formal. Sending email to senior, you should follow the formal style. If not, people will say, you are rude and not showing any respect. Am I correct? You know yourself exactly and people can read your mind. “Treat the people the same ways in which you want to be treated”. Keep this in mind.

Dear Mr Yee Mon,


Due to long working hours at the clinic, I will not be able to re-do my proposal by this Friday. As my next off day is this coming Sunday, 22 December, the earliest possible date I can get it done is by next Monday.

I’ll include coming up with an educational leaflet in my objectives.

I’m sorry for the inappropriate format of my previous emails. However, please do not be mistaken - formality does not equate to respect, and informality does not mean lack of respect.

I’d also like to clarify that I am not lazy regarding my work. Its just that long working hours in the clinic is exhausting. 12 hours of work at the clinic, 2 hours of commuting time, 7 hours of sleep, 1 hour for bathing, grooming and having breakfast - that will leave me with 2 hours of free time each day. How productive can I be in that short 2 hours?

Although I understand that it is not possible to ask for fairness when it comes to school work (people who are attached at labs devote most of their time to their projects and has much shorter working hours, this is vastly different compared to people who are attached at clinics), and it is within my responsibility to meet the various deadlines… It’ll be really helpful if expectations can be altered to be a little more human.


Yours Sincerely,
Fiona Liew

P/s - I was online to search about technique of taking good radiographs so I can write a technically worthy piece of reflection in my log book. I used the time to constructing an email to reply my Liason Officer instead. Isn’t this great use of time? No wonder things never get done things I do are never well done.

Sometimes I get really anal, i want things to be done in a specific way - and that’s my way. And I don’t even have real reasons/logic to back up my insistence. For example, if an oval shape plate is placed in front of me, it must be wide, not tall.

However, there are times when i just can’t be bothered. Most probably due to me being too tired. So tired that my usually irritable sensory neurons fail to be stimulated.

Just like now, I’m going to sleep and my sister is playing Farm Mania on her computer. I contemplated if i should ask her to turn it off and let me go to sleep first - like how i usually do. But i thought, nah… This is one of those nights i can deal with sleeping in funny noises of quacking ducks and mooing cows, and occasional “money sound”.

I’m a little surprised by myself.

Just what i was thinking so much into my eyebrows.

If you have the world in your hands, what will you do with it?

Let me know which type of brows looks best on me, and why, tag me! =]

At mean time, I’m gonna let my brows grow like wild weeds. Haha!
