Morning Rant! Not So GOOD!

Yesterday, I was soooo mad (as in super mad) early in the morning! I was early for work, before six in the morning I was already saying my morning prayers in the chapel asking for guidance and patience. When I entered the room, said my usual morning greetings, I saw that there's a lot of cost center slips (what we call for the charge slips for in-patients)on the table, and the nurses were lining up at the counter. I put down my bag and logged in my access. The night duty pharmacist and the P.A. were having some little argument about a patient whom they can't see the profile on the list, they were typing the name all over again but then to no avail, so I butt in because I can't take their lack of initiative. Then presto, poof! there it is in an instant! (I'm becoming impatient, but then I didn't mind) I sat down then, the phone rang! I was like hoping she would answer the phone but then she just didn't care at all. So I answered it, and like the other days after you put it down, it will ring again, and I was right! I was answering phone calls while rendering the the requisitions from the stations and I was like multitasking! While she's just there, waiting for me to tell her to go home! But then, I didn't say a thing. What made me angry the most was when I saw the requisition time. There are a lot of requests from 2am and onwards. The total count was more than thirty and there's a lot of unprepared charge slips! Feels like we're being bombarded with papers and a lot of papers coming up! I feel so bad, I lost my grip. I asked the clerk if they were busy, and she gave me a crappy answer like "yeah, we we're. We we're having phone calls from the E.R. and stations, and there's a lot of requisitions" so I snapped back "why? There's only 1 person doing the rendering?" She answered me with lies in her eyes "no, we were also helping, maybe the ones you rendered were new" that was it!! (I really need to tell them,I am angry) "NO!!! They were not! I had rendered a lot of requisitions and I saw the time, it was 2:14am and onwards." I blew up, because it's not the 1st time that they did it to me, and to the others. They were so busy sleeping that they forgot they've got responsibilities to attend to. They were to caught up chatting about nonsense all over again. They were not focusing their attention to what should be their priorities. They were not using their initiative and mind, and I can't stand it any longer, it's not because they left me a lot to do early in the morning, it's just that, it affects not only me but the whole department. They were just thinking about themselves, they were not thinking about the people who will be left behind. I am also having night duties and before I leave I make sure that I did my job, that I had endorsed everything well before going home, that I had done what should be done, even if it is not written in my job description, even if I am not paid for it, even if no one sees me doing good things. I am just doing what should pharmacists do. I just love my job despite the low salary. I am just so happy that I got a job that's suited for what I've studied and learned. I was just appreciating every single thing I have without thinking of something to be gained. I am working because I love to work, I love my work and not because of something else. I hope they could do the same, I know that everyone is unique, that everyone thinks differently, that we can't tell somebody to change their ways, but then I just hope that they would love their job and upgrade the profession. I hope they act professionally and would not think only of their own self, but others too. I just don't know why people always ask for a salary increase without assessing their own work, and those people who always make "reklamos" were the ones whose not doing their job properly, the ones whose absences and lates were very remarkable, the ones who always rant about their schedules and the ones whose jobs you need to do again. And what I hate the most is, they were older than me, and they should be the role models not the one being told about. They should be the one teaching the younger ones and not the other way. Honestly, it is better to be with the newbies, than being with the oldies, because the newbies knows how to follow protocol and instructions, they know how to decide and to do their work without complaining, while the oldies are more like looking and just sitting there doing nothing, knowing nothing and feeling like a complete fool, contented of what they knew and plain working for the sake of the salary not because they love being a pharmacist. I am happy and proud that I am a pharmacist and I make a difference, not only to myself but to others as well, I am happy that I am being looked up to and I am so happy that I gain the trust of the higher management and happy that they see me as a valued employee! I just hope that others will be considerate enough. AMEN!
