Isn't it ironic - don't you think - I was filled with trepidation at the day that lay before me. Could it possibly be as bad as the previous two days - filing and photocopying when I could be at work earning money.

Strange how things turn out when you are expecting the same or worse.
The ladies at the Freemasons Health Clinic in Clarendon Street were just lovely. I wish I had been there for the three days, well worth the long walk from Richmond station.
I got teamed up with an English girl who was on a working holiday. She has only been in Melbourne for four months and is on the last leg of her round the world ticket. That brought back some lovely memories for me as well.
We had lovely chats in between filing patient records, looking patients up on the computer, pulling records for next weeks consults. It was very basic office stuff but at least I got a feel for how the office was run.
They were very sorry to see me go and wanted to know if I was coming back!! Made me feel very welcome and I could see myself working in that type of environment.
The hospital needs to get with the 21st century. They rely heavily on paper and files. But I suppose they are very conservative.
Back to school next week. Haven't done set homework yet :( aren't I just the rebel!!
