HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!Wow! It's been so long, isnt it! Opps.. so many things happened till I didnt have the time to update u. Wonder how "true" is that or am I just plain lazy nowadays.
I've just came back from a BBQ session, which I must say was quite a boring one. The main reason, I reckon is because I wasnt with the right group of friends. Now, I missed them so much!!!! Memories of those BBQ sessions in Adelaide started flowing in just now.. The fun we had, the laughter and experiences we shared, organising a budget seafood, singaporean plus bit of aussie BBQ, with all those DISPOSABLE BBQ PITS!!!! The last minute plans we had, but still everything worked out perfectly!!! Always ended with a great shot of port with a brownie cake! Yum yum! Haha. It was all so different compare to this one. WHY? :( I thot it supposed to be more fun.. ...
Hmmm.. the group of people really does matter, even thou' I think I know this group longer than those in Adelaide!? Oh well, things change and people moved on, HY!! It's a BRAND NEW YEAR TODAY!!!!!
Btw, some updates of me since the previous one. I've been working normal shift, i.e. 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, for 2 months plus already!!! And NO.. I didnt job hop!! I was kinda forced to be transferred out of the lab, to do some IT stuff for my lab. YAH, IT!! Wahahahaaa.. Kinda sad, huh? OR maybe NOT, friends were saying "Now, finally you are normal with your hours!" Hahaa.
All this started when QA/QC could not get things done with Mr. N, whose supposed to do LIMS for the lab. So Mr C decided to take back LIMS from Mr N. Therefore, C has to find someone from the lab to take over LIMS from N. Someone from the lab will be good to take over, is because of the lab experiences like which isotopes to take for which element and for which plasma, so that the workflows in the LIMS can be created for the sample reports without much explanation to the IT person who's doing this. So, I am the bloody lucky chosen one!! Reasons. Firstly, they wanted a female to do this. Secondly, because I am the most senior female in the lab, and I know almost all the analysis. :|
Two months into normal shift, I feel somewhat cheated sometimes.. no proper training on LIMS, and was given a task to be complete before the end of year 2007. How I managed to complete my "project" and had put it on "live" was by studying through what N had did for the past 2 years, reading the instructions manual, configuration manual, user guides, also by emailing thermo support which was based in ADELAIDE, when I encountered problems. But, yah, 2 weeks ago, I've completed my project and had put it on live to be used for my lab colleagues. All these doesnt come easy, when I am not trained in IT, worse when the lab is busy, I still have to go and helped up with the analysis, until one morning, I told C off infront of everyone, saying, "I am given a dateline. But I am not given enough time to work on it, why because U keep putting me back inside the lab to do analysis, instead of giving me time to study the systems for the project. Please dont come to me and said 1 month ar!!" Only after this, I wasnt asked to go back inside the lab unless for super urgent sample analysis.
But hey, my hard work pays off. Haha. Project was completed, but came another more difficult one, which is to include formulas into the workflows. Now someone with (1)good maths background, (2)good LIMS and (3)SQL knowledge, and must know what's going on with (4)the analysis part. Sadly, i think I only have a little of (1), (2) and (4). How's that, huh?! Now my pay decreases, yet I have to know and doing more than everyone else! Haha.. Boy, I'm feeling honour to be given such a challenge and be in this position! Hahaha.
Anyways, enough of my working life!! In this NEW YEAR, I want a PAY RAISE!!!! wahahahaa.. I think I'm qualify and I deserve one, okie!? Damn..
Seriously, since I'm kinda gonna be working in the normal hours, guess I should be able to get somethings done, like going cycling, learning roller blading, learning guitar.. taking up tennis, maybe! wahahaa.
uhm, am I day-dreaming or wHAT?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
