Daily Post April 17
Today they had assighned me the most monatonous assighment ever. It was to sort different kinds of bolts and screws into seperate piles going from their size to type. I thought i was going to lose my mind and to add to that the clock was going suspiciosly slow, or it was just me. Thank god the boxes were small so it did not take me to long, it was not too bad just anoying that all. Then once again it was that time of the day again=]

Today was not a productive day. I did mostly nothing today, i just learned how to operate the new IV pumps that came in to the hospital and then the rest of the time i spent testing them. The testing went slow, becouse the pumps operate slower than the other IV pumps so it was more sitting than actual work going on. Either way the time passed fairly quick
Daily Post March 31
When i came in to the office it was full of IV pumps, one person was doing safety test in it and i was just walking arround and putting them in one room for storage. There they are going to sit until, all of them will go through a practice run. Then i went to a storage room across the street and did organazing there till the end of the day.
