Clinic Transfer

PGPS and its disgusting chorus of pestiferous children who should cut me some slack.

Out of the many walk ins this holiday, i have to rant bout her incongrous behaviour.
8 Effective Actions To Piss Young Adults
1) Lets rule out the colour of her skin.
2) Came without calling to inform and insist to be seen right before my lunch time. Not that im lazy and am not willing to sacrifice my lunch (half)hour. Cant you see its human conditioning at work?
3) And so she waited, presented all sweaty and exhausted. That's D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G.
4) Then this obnoxious lil brat brought me so much fear when she came strutting (wobbly) in her inch high platforms. Her worst case scenario: Falling. My worst case scenario: Writing an incident report.
5) She insisted on extraction of her insignificantly mobile lower first molar. Then came my cursed blah blah blah bout waiting and the what nots.
So what's next?
6) "AUNTY, the cement is dropping. Can you change it for me?" Two wrongs. There's no AUNTY here. Secondly, her glass ionomer filling is intact.
The story doesnt end here.
7) "I want to do cleaning" Narrrrp. "I did it for you in late Oct!"
8) And the last straw that broke the camel's back? "AUNTY dentist, will klee-neek be closed this holiday? Can i come everyday?" Me: "Darling, you dont come everyday (just because you've got nothing to do). Neither do you walk in (insisting to be treated right away.)Call for an appointment before coming because the clinic might be closed. The number's in the school diary. You dont want to make a wasted trip, do you?"

With that, she let me off. **phew.

As much as i complain bout
1) the overall poor oral hygiene of the imps here,
2) the majority of children who love extractions,
3) the 99.99999% energy-sucking population who cannot wait for their turn,
4) the very cariogenic snacks sold at the canteen,
5) the handful of teachers who has clearly shown subpar support towards dental treatment,
6) the hi-bye and occassional chit chats with the canteen vendor and administrative aunties,

i am very displeased with the transfer of clinic and clinical supervisor because..
1) HIPS is located 'neither here nor there'. To a train-reliant me, this christian school seem to be god forsaken.
PGPS is a 12min walk to the NEL. HIPS is probably a 12min CYCLE to the NEL.
2) An increase in transport fare.
3) I might be put in charge of the clinic. This means doing lots of chapalang, such as ordering stocks, checking i-dont-know-what and i-really-have-no-idea-what-more.
4) I might die working with someone authoritative. These almost obsolete Div2dentists simply dont understand how youngsters function. Nor can we comprehend whats going through the mind of dinosaurs, can we?
5) Having to understand the culture of the school again.
6) It is a hassle getting to know the security guards, tuckshop vendors, school staff, students and parents all over again.

On a brighter note, MOng says the overall oral hygiene is quite good, and that she's been enjoying her stay over there. (:

I've learnt that being happy doesnt mean that everything is perfect. It means you've decided to look beyond imperfections and have learnt to embrace the now.
I've witnessed how people bend and change in the face of life's many situations. And am proud to say i came out strong.
