9th day of working part-time: got scolded

got scolded this morning

i was asked to contact a sales rep for something
and i have contacted her a few times a day until i get her

i have conveyed my message to her last Friday
and reminded her yesterday
but then... all these are just not enough..
as my mission was not accomplished
all these are just like go into drain..

i don't know what can i do to satisfy both parties

another incidence that happened today,
K asked me to contact P for something
then P told me that he had informed K and ask me to refer to K
P even said "how many time you want me to repeat the same thing?"

what you want me to do?!

everything that i was asked to do
i can't do them up to standard
i am just not good enough
haizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

money doesn't comes easily..
there is no free lunch in this world

i will take this as a challenge
and remember this as a lesson

i hope i won't repeat the same things when my role changed.

8th day of working part-time: sometimes, it's just not good to ask too much questions

i didn't feel very well today
had stomach ache..
took a sachet of chinese herbal medicine
and it improved a bit
still went for work..

hmm.. i was late by a few minutes
but luckily the boss wasn't there yet..

i felt that there was something wrong between me and the bosses..
maybe i wasn't sound neutral enough when i was on the phone yesterday
actually, i was just thinking from a different point of view
the boss and employee do have different perspective
at times, we need to put ourselves in each other's shoes..
then misunderstandings may be avoided

i am a slow learner..
need to learn a few times before i can remember it
haiz

anyway, learned some new stuffs today
-ordering
-asking for quotation

i want to be better and better :D


7th day of working part-time: promotion

went for promotion at a supermarket
left home with a enthusiastic heart
coz it had been almost 2 years since my last time there

things didn't went as smoothly as i wanted

i received a call
and it didn't went well
got that for nothing under my control
really zzz

haiz...
spoilt my mood..
but luckily it was only for awhile..

the sales was good from my point of view..
yet maybe it wasn't good enough

haiz..

anyway, i am quite happy with my performance
still a lot to catch up and learn
new things coming up every seconds

i don't think i performed up to the standard
still need to work harder

non-stop

maybe i can't expect things to remain the same after years

everything has changed

nothing but changeis permanent
and this is the fact that remains unchanged

forth day of part-time work

woah.. the goods are like half a hill..
accumulated at the store.. filled up almost half of the store
my speed is just too slow.. arghhhh...

need to sleep early tonight so that can work faster tomorrow

a lot of work  to do
a lot of things to learn
a lot of book to revise

argghhhhhhhhhhhh

third day of part-time work

hmm.. as usual.. was putting price tag and arranging goods...
served a few customers..

actually i am still have very limited clinical knowledge..
a lot more to learn..
very keen to learn but no time and energy

attended a meeting.. erm.. i think generally it was good but still not effective enough..
i think the main reason is i didn't join them early enough.
i was very blur and i think there is still space for improvement for the event planning.. yet, everything is just too late to start now

had a dinner with the boss
discussed and learned a lot from him :)

second day of part-time work

erm.. everything is more or less the same.
i had more chance to serve the customers at the end of the day :D
i was still trying to arranging the CM/POM
it took me a few hours just to arrange around 20 drugs..
i still have a big container of drugs to be arranged

this that i have learned on the second day

  • arranging the drugs according to their indications
  • pack ointment 
  • cafergot is out of stock currently
  • every error need to be recorded
mistakes that i have made
  • quantity of the drug - 4 strips of drug equals to 0.04 of 100*10's not 0.4



hopefully i can be flawless at the end of the day
argghh.. i need to speed up and pay extra attention
i got to do better

first day of part-time work at pharmacy

hmm.. it was quite an ordinary day..
basically i was asked to do what i used to do years ago
putting on price tag.. checking goods..
serving customers..

learned quite a number of things

  • concor has changed its base from bisoprolol fumarate to... arghh.. forget >.<
  • when key-in an item, need to see if the customers bought it before to double-check that the transaction is accurate 
  • norgesic is out of stock maybe due to some application processes with the health ministry


made a few mistakes

  • a customer gave me 102 and i tot it was 72
  • another customer want a brown rice and i keyed-in healthy-rice
  • messed-up with putting on price tag.. arg.. i like this the least


generally not a bad day
still assimilating to the "new" working environment

on my way to preparing myself for the PRP life :D

eve of first day part-time work at Lotus

I'm currently waiting for my posting as provisionally registered pharmacist (PRP U41) at government hospital

i have received the "Sijil Pendaftaran Bersyarat" from LFM and the offer letter from SPA,
so, i am waiting for the third letter which will be from KKM to inform me about my date and place of work

i am going to start working part-time at the same pharmacy that i have been working for throughtout my study life
it has been more than a year since my last time working there and just before all the memories start to fade
i am going back to work there

it is the first and only pharmacy that i worked before
it enlightens me regarding the reality of life and also the job scope of community pharmacist
i did enjoyed my time there as sales assistant few years ago

after i graduated from University of Strathclyde,
i am going back there tomorrow
and my role will be slightly different

i hope that i will be given more chance to serve the customers
i will give my best and hopefully everything will go smoothly :D
