Diary Entry: 2004-10-24
I always want to change my career path. Since I started working as a bench-tech, I think seriously about involving in health information system, as well as in arts.

Diary entry: 2004-11-24
I was hoping to get out hiking in this sunny weekend. However, I felt sick and had my bed-rest. Feel bad.

Diary Entry: 2004-10-23 Picking grape as Sandy's
Though I hadn't go hiking, I went for my next best thing in this afternoon. Grape picking at Sandy's belcony. Mom and I were first warmly wlecomed by boy-boy. The grapes looked great in overcasted sun. We watched Sandy's neighbour cooking grape juice and got a lecture of wine-making from Sandy's Dad. What a great day!

Today I got almost every special stain.
Topic: Work Hard
I had my own record day. On my very rare special day (bench 4),
I had orcein, Grocott's, PAS+-D, Trichrome, AFB, Iron, Bile, Retic, Congo Red
Since I did not do this bench very often,
Wanda helped me to organize. This is her note
-----------------
FRIST BATCH
Trichrome (first step 30min Bouin@60c)
Ferric Iron (first step W's Hx 30min)
PAS+D (first step Diatase @37c 30min)

-----------------------
SECOND BATCH
Orcein (Orcein stain 3hr!!!!) (note:last step dehydrate in ethanol)
Congo Red (note cut fresh @7um)

------------------------
THIRD BATCH
Bile

----------------------
LAST QUICK BATCH
AFB
Retic
Grocott's
----------------------------
The note helped me a lot. I managed to finish all stain before 1:30pm, without giving up my break and lunch. Thanks Wanda!!

We had a good luck thing for her.

Diary entry: Today I got a flu shot!
Topic: Miscellanous
Today was the first day the hospital giving flu shot. Hence, the line-up was long. I wasted a lot of time to search and check my name among 6 folders.

Cloudy day.
Last night I cooked the congee too long with Sandy. So I could not get up today. This afternoon Sandy phoned me in good news that she got into interview tomorrow. Wish her all the best.

Today I received email from Nuppu and Heikki
Topic: True North EX- Sept 2004
Hi Maria(Nuppu) and Heikki,

It is so nice to hear from you. So it is already snow in Calgary now? Luckily I do not live in Calgary.
I spent time working and sleeping, and walking in nearby mountain/lake, if I am not doing the former two task, after my true north/moose trip. It is a real headache to organze my over-a-thousand picture. So please tuned for my picture.

I wish I can go to Kananaskis too. But it seems so far away. Wish you have a good weather for your hike!

Ann.

Rainy afternoon on Reservoir Trail, Mission
Topic: Wandering Afterwork
It was way too wet than I expected. I was deceived by the brief sunshine at Abbotsford and get out afterwork. There were over 50 people fishing here. And 5 batches of walkers I met.
Quite a nice walk in rainy day actually. I waste a lot of picture taking self picture at the floating bridge at 8 km of the reservoir trail.
