yeah...i was chuckling..i was reading my blog and i found it to be rather interesting to read...then i read my friendster's 'info about me' and i can't believe i actually cracked a joke there...i din't know i was that funny...but it was funny...i'm still chuckling now...hahahahahahaha....i mean ppl tell me i'm funny but i just don't realize it..
so...remember yesterday's patient which i forgot about??well...he came today and he's perfectly fine!at least in my part...no abnormalities found in him..i mean his brain waves...phew..huge relieve.
so yesterday i said i made a mistake...actually it wasn't a mistake...it was a BAD decision...then i started to think that being a leader isin't easy.......imagine if your leader makes a bad decision.....will u still support him/her?being a follower myself....i've seen or watched in movies or heard or read in the newspaper of leaders who make bad decision, i feel its so unfair to their followers...they have to bear the consequences if they choose to still follow the leader or maybe its their own honour and integrity at stake..imagine in a war, instead of advancing forward, u back out.....its a topic with too many areas to cover...so...i had my taste of being a leader today...
so, since my senior no longer works in the afternoons, i am the next in line.so i take care of the lab and arrange for patients to come for their tests.so...today i sorta 'reminded' my colleague that she needed to do her work tho she has some assignments to do...cos she was planning to go home early.well...its nothing wrong to go back early cos she's taking her lunch time but last min got 1 patient which i had to turn down bcos i can't do it cos i got other patients and i din't wan to go home late(yeah...irresponsible)and no one else can do it besides 2 of us. so i felt kinda bad for turning that patient down and it also means that tomorrow(being a Saturday!) will be very busy cos the patients we turn down today will come back tmr and tmr has got its own work load too!!!so, i told her nicely and i think she din't take it nicely. I told her i did think bout her assignment and that's why i turned that patient down and hope that next time she won't do it again...its just hard...trying to please both sides...she was free from 3ish and she hasn't taken her lunch break so i tot she should take it so that when she comes back from her break, it will be 4 ish and still got time to do 1 last patient before she leaves at 5.30 and i can clear up after her. u know..i was thinking of her needs and i dun feel appreciated cos of her reaction.well...work is from 9-6pm, so watever u have u just got to do it later or just take the day off.easier said than done cos sometimes i'm guilty of that too...but who is perfect....
so being a leader isn't easy....firstly, u yourself have to set the example for ppl to follow which i constantly slack...and secondly, telling ppl they r wrong and showing them the right direction won't make u feel appreciated.its more like 'stop telling me wat to do!'

Haha, you are funny gal.. don't say much when we chat (i think im too talktative de) but in ur blog.. wahhh..
but haf to agree with you, being a leader aint easy.. i once rmbred someone said being a first time leader, ppl might xtually look down at us, at the advice we give.. not because they hate us or what, maybe not use to our leadership.
1 important question to ask ourselves: what kind of leadership do you want people to remember you by? a gracefully firm leader? an autocratic leader? an authoritarian? or a democratic leader?
