Eat Pork

Eat Pork
Definition: (verb) taking up his/her cases when the staff is on holiday.

There were two PT I taking on holidays for the next two weeks. Therefore, I need to eat pork for the upcoming two weeks. I have three pieces of pork to eat.

Other staff may think that it is causing a heavy burden for me because I am still adapting to the normal case load. However, I think of as a positive scenerio. The "God of PNF" reserved these three pieces of pork for me. He must have thought that I am competent enough to increase my caseload for a bit, and those "porks" are easy enough for me to handle. I should thank him for trusting my ability.

For the clinical placements in the past three years, I usually enjoyed my placements in inpatient settings. There was enormous stress but I was also worried that the last day might come too soon.

A week has passed. I thought it was really really tough work and I couldn't wait to get out of this place. On Friday, after I finished all the documentation, I had the same feeling of worrying the last day may come too soon. I was hesitated to leave. I did not want to leave. It was a friday.

This is the sign of turning into a workaholic.
