There was no greater day than the day when you are productive. I could spend my time in a million ways but the best time well spent was when it was spent wisely. Today was such a day for me.
My whole day started by going for a blood sampling. A team from my lab and others cooperated in blood sampling of a group of about a thousand newly imported goats namely Boer cross. I have not been going out to the field for sometime and I have been waiting for such a day as today to at least, do the sweaty job. I love getting up "close and personal" with the animals. It gives me immense pleasure to be around them. ^-^
Our morning was disrupted with a little surprise visit from a big brown patterned butterfly. It perched on a shirt of one of the sweet beautiful girl. I was actually amazed oh how smart it picked a beautiful girl to perch on. It must be the sweet smell of her. *genius*.^_^,
After taking a few pictures of it, we released it back to the wild, letting it fly away and find it way to the world once again. Hopefully, this time it will manage to perch on real flowers and start on pollinating again. That's what butterflies do right? To make more beautiful flowers..^_^
Unfortunately I did not take my breakfast and of course I did not plan not to eat but it did make me a little bit dizzy and hungry. As a consequences,I kept on disturbing the officer in charge to quicken the coming of food ration.I hope he was not pissed off. I couldn't help it.It was almost midday and everyone was either starving or dehydrated from much used energy on goats handling and blood sampling. The guys although didn't complain, two of them decided to just drove off and bought a supply of drink for our team and honestly it made me feel at my worst.
At this point of time, I am always reminded by how incapable I am at certain things like providing and giving appropriate orders. And, no matter how much I try to put something on my head like "go on, be a lioness". I just couldn't do it. It was hard. I wonder what will become of me in the future if...?? :(..it spells like *l*****..
It nearly ruined my day. But, a weakness should not weigh us down right?..^_^
Needless to say, at the end of the activity I smelt like goats. ^_^ It ended well of course. Even though Our team lagged behind but other team pitched in and gave full cooperation to complete the whole thing.
By the time I arrived at the office, nothing much I can do about the smell. The coverall upon removal, still left my body as smelly as it was before stripping it off. ^_^. But, I still continue on with further discussion on Lab safety with a few colleagues in the lab. We have this goal to prepare a proper documentation on lab safety and hopefully, we will be able to wrap up everything nicely before presenting it to our big boss. ^_^
Done with the discussion, I worked my wits on plates reading. It took me exactly 30 minutes to read all of the microbiological plates and thus, ended my 8 hours job for the day.
That's how my working day went by for the day. The difference between today and some other less-productive day was, it was filled with job related activities other than delegating/finalizing cases and going for a meeting. Somehow, I liked it that way.
One of my friend used to say that "There is no other pleasure that can match a successful project handled by yourself. It gives you enormous satisfaction". That was her take which right then perplexed me but on her level, perhaps that was the meaning of satisfaction.
To me, satisfaction come quite as easy as a day goes by with full activities.
