clumsy

i've never been clumsier or blessed with such bad luck in my whole life.

within the first hour at work i managed to break 3 things.
- crashed a computer
- tore off rubber buttons from the machine (i wheeled a stool into the bed)
- broke a CCTV that we use to watch patients on the bed (i just looked at it...)

the first two things weren't that bad, the third thing meant we couldn't treat patients for 15 minutes. they sent me to tea while the tv got fixed. They fixed it, and as i came back from tea, i came around the corner and the TV broke again.

My colleague told me that i should probably just do paperwork for the rest of the day. I hesitantly agreed.

After lunch, I continued on the paperwork. lesley asked me to treat one patient while carol went to tea. it was my first patient for the afternoon. we treat one field out of 6 and then the machine just stopped. whoops. some big fault with the machine we couldn't fix. we had to get the engineer down to fix it and treat the patient on the other machine.

just my luck.
