This last week was a MUCH better balanced one than before. The only thing that had really changed was that I was down to 6 days a week of work. 🤣That said, I had almost made it to work on Wednesday when the call came through that my theatre had been cancelled due to a lack of staff and we had no sick leave in our own department (for the first time in ages!).
Since it was rush hour, I ended up diverting to my parents place to hang out til the traffic died down and then ended up doing some light work from home and it made all the difference. The previous 2 days had been 16 and 15 hours respectively and that day literally turned the week around!
That said the weekend and today is turning out very interesting. The weekend had me working and doing some paediatric cases which are always interesting but the surgeon I work with is a friend who got through the cases super fast. We ended up taking a short lunch break and walking to the local cafe to get some Iced Matcha Lattes. Nothing too fancy but sneaking out during a work day made it seem like we were rebellious school kids being truants and made the day so much more fun. It’s the simple things.
Sunday morning I got a run in nice and early and went on my very first formal flying lesson! This time around, I did take my phone out and get the instructor to take some photos.
Also, I had won a Samsung competition from the other week so here is part of my prize that they sent through!
Other parts included an NFT and an online invite to their next tech event! First time I have an invite for that! We’re supposedly doing a trail run in the next hour or so…
