GETTING READY FOR A NEW JOB..

Last Thursday & Friday was actually exciting for me. Citibank called me up on Thursday to collect my appointment letter. I start work next Monday - 19th July, 2010. Oh i''m still feeling nervous right now. It's a big company & it's worldwide. The office building itself is huge with more than 40 floors. So on Thursday i went to collect the appointment letter around 4pm & signed some documents. I still can't believe it that i got a job offer from them. I still think it's a dream.


So Friday i actually had to go for a medical checkup. First it was a urine test, so i was pretty clueless of what else they would want from me because the last time i went for a medical checkup was 5 years ago & i can't recall what else they actually have in mind. The second task was to get an X-ray. They told me to go out of the office building to get to a clinic which is the opposite of their office building. They must be crazy, really??!! in the middle of KL i had to walk & cross over, knowing KL so well with their busy roads & millions of cars passing by really fast.


After the craziness settled, i had to fill up some questionnaires & straight away went to see the doctor for minor checkup. The last part was scary though as i had to do my blood test. I hate needles because i've no idea whether the doctor is gonna be good at handling this as i'm used to 2 places for blood tests - Baljit Clinic in Bangsar & Damansara Specialist Hospital. The doctor looked so old that i was afraid he would poke the needle somewhere else.


Apparently i had to see another doctor to get my blood test done. Here's how the conversation went :

Me : Hi!! Good Morning
Lady Doctor : Good Morning!!
Me : Is there any other way u can poke the needle else where (knowing there's only one place to poke the needle).
Lady Doctor : Don't tell a doctor what they're supposed to do. I'm just doing my job & i know my job well.
Me : Okay i'm sorry i was just asking. i'm afraid of needles.
Lady Doctor : look somewhere else while i get it done.
Me : okay :( thank you.

I'm sorry i annoyed you, doctor. I understand u had to entertain WHINNY people since morning & me being whinny too does not help you much too. Hehe. So here i am today still feeling nervous & also excited to start work this Monday. :)
