Unluck-iest Day of the Year

Early morning i woke up.. My flu has worsen.. I feel so weak.. I am sick.

At work, my toenail was broken into two with the broken nail still loosely pasted on the flesh. It made me so painful to just walk, let alone wearing lab boots. Gosh it hurts so much. I was loading a trolley with beddings and pellet to be pushed into the animal room. I wasnt aware that the one of the trolley's wheels was very loose. I loaded it full, probably 50kg of bags or more. While i was pushing it into the mice room, the loose wheel making it harder to control so.. you guessed it.. the wheel stopper got hooked on to my toes, dragging me with it for a few seconds. There goes my tiny toe. Excruciating Pain!

Then while i was replacing the old rat breeders in the isolators.. one of the rats, a male rat, weighing probably 5kg bit through the biohazard plastic bag which it was in and got freed. It took me a good 2++ hours to catch it in the isolator. Not an easy job at all considering the limited length of the gloves.. I caught it in the end and when i passed it to my assistant, he was bitten by that Little Mischevious Male Rat. It was a very deep cut. The rat bit through the thick plastic gloves. EWW... painful. Blood was oozing out from my assistant's palm non stop. I treated his wound, got it all wrapped up. Man, i feel so guilty. "So sorry Tor Lee. wo bu shi ku yi de!! Mee Lubok for you tomorrow ok?" huehue..

Just because of a stupid rat and a stupid trolley.. im so behind time. To make things worse, my boss was on course so i have to cover her duties as well. Shucks man. So many responsibilities.. so little salary. I'd better get a promotion soon or else im outta CARE, running over to BIOPOLIS. huehue.. my boss would cut my head off if she sees this entry.

Oh well, nobody's perfect!
