Tired, but meaningful
Been dusting around here. Haven't been here since my last 'lazy' days. Why?
Cause i'd started my industrial training a week ago. I was supposed to go to SMC (Sunway) for my training, but once when i knew that, i was pushing for a place back in SMC2 (Sabah). My lecturer had been trying to push for us Sabahans to train in SMC2, but they won't let us, so i had to ask my father for some 'help'.
Reason? Well, you see, you only work for less than a month in SMC (roughly 20 days), and there are more students there since anyone who can't get a place back in their place had to do it in SMC. Back here in SMC2, i could have an entire 2 months to do my training.
First day of work, FASCINATING. The lab is at the basement, a few more steps and there's the morgue. I went in and to my surprise...............well, not that surprised, all the workers are FEMALES. The only male was a guy name Jasper working as a com technician cum demography.
I was instantly introduced to the boss, Spencer. Yup, he's a guy, but you don't consider him to be part of the crew since he would be keeping himself in the office or walking around sometimes. Other than that, all my other collegues are females. There are 2 other trainees there, one from UTAR and another from a uni that i'd never heard before of, but the 2 of them had been training there for some time.
I was put into the Biochem department for my first week. Really, there is nothing much to do. The first day, as i am really new and there are many new stuffs (i only learned the basics, don't know why the lecturer wants to throw us in when we are still in the basics). So most of the time i would be standing up or walking around.
Thats until when the MLTs started to pull me and teach how to handle stuffs and their maintainance. I was supposed to be in the biochem department, but by the first week, i had been pulled to handle haematology and blood bank stuffs...............great. The people there are great once i get to know them more. However, as they are females, i still have the usual problems as what we talk are always different and you sometimes get into hot soup when you try to join into their conversation until you discovered they are talking stuffs ranging from cosmetics to skin care products and those woman stuffs.
One thing i discovered though why they won't take in my uni's students. My lecturer asked me to investigate why and this is why.
1. There are already 2 trainees there, plus a new MLT.
2. The lab is not that big.
3. There are not many specialized departments
4. There arent much work to do.
Regarding matter 4, yeah. Throughout my first week, i discovered that you would only be slightly busy in the morning, but in the afternoon, you are really free, so free that you could just sit down and read some papers. But this is for the trainee case as the senior MLT had to key in reports and compile the data. So much so, this is my working life.
***Today i got my first lecturing from a senior MLT. She asked me to search for a particular urine for UPT (Urine pregnancy test) while i was still doing the HA1C test. A FEW SECS later, she came back and asked about it and when she saw i was still doing the HA1C test, she told me i am slow @_@. How am i slow when i was in the middle of doing something first. But oh well, she is the most senior MLT there, so i can't argue with her, or else my entire training life would be a living hell.
