Was in the middle of teaching online this morning when I suddenly got a message from a hospital personnel. He was looking for me and asking if i was coming. Oh my gosh. Today was the first day of Intravenous Therapy lecture! Have i forgotten? Actually, no. I knew well it was today, but i planned not to go.
Last week i registered for the renewal of my intravenous therapy license. But i just told myself, "It's okay not to go. I paid anyway and i'm sure they'll issue my new license." And besides, i'm not interested. But why did i register? Just. Or i could use it for the future volunteer work.
I was caught between working for another job and my real profession. And how fool i was to think that the lecture wasn't very important. I was wrong. The supervisor said I had to attend the whole 3 days of lecture because as a clinical practitioner, it's my responsibility and obligation to do so. Or i could just register again next year and pay again as it is non refundable.
I was in hot water. I couldn't just leave the office right on the spot and without an absence letter that's supposed to be submitted 3 days in advance. But i had to decide quickly. I sent a Skype message to my manager telling him that i had an urgent appointment and that i will just explain everything later. Luckily he allowed me but i have so much explanation to do...as i will also be absent tomorrow.
At 10:18 i arrived in the hospital, 3 hours late and everybody was staring at me when i entered the conference room. But i didn't care. I was so drained and exhausted in so much hurry. I sat on the last empty chair at the back and just listened intently.
sorry na...minsan talaga tinatamad ako...and i'm one great procrastinator : ( Anyway, today's lecture enlightened me, and i realized there are so many new things to learn, that's why attendance is a must! Pag absent ka, huli ka talaga sa balita! kkkkkkkkk
