On a typical day start work with a short briefing from my line manager for new information or changes. I organize my area of duty by ensuring all the necessary regents and equipment are made available, maintained and tested prior to use. I read and observe diiferent culture plates and carry out appropriate tests to isolate and identify organisms that have grown from previous day samples cultured. Then set up specific antibiotic based on the organisms isolated. I will communicate to the ward and infection control about significant organisms associated with healthcare infections e.g MRSA, Clostridium difficle, Salmonella. I will sign off completed tests and send off to wards and GPs via the laboratory-Hospital-GP links. In-between I do take tea-breaks and lunch to relax the brain and mind for effective output. Some days I could be so busy that I struggle to go for tea-breaks while less busy days I avails myself opportunity to update my continous professional development (CPD) and laboratory standard operating procedures (SOP). Mondays (M0re days) seems to the longest days while fridays are shorter days and cannot wait to thank goodness for another Friday (Free days) because all works and no play makes Johnny a dull scientist!!!!!. make out time for gym, jogging and football on weekends.

Tell us a joke.
A woman wanted to reach her husband on his mobile phone but discovered that she was out of credit. She instructed her son to use his own phone to pass across an urgent message to his daddy who was on site. After Junior has called, he got back to Mommy to inform her that there was a lady that picked up Daddy’s phone the three times he tried reaching Him on the mobile. When the woman got home after the day’s work, her husband has not returned. She waited impatiently for her husband to return from work. And upon seeing him in the driveway; she rushed out and gave him a tight slap. Then she slapped him again for good measure. People from the neighbourhood rushed around to find out what the cause of the commotion was. The woman asked Junior to tell everybody what the lady said to him when he called his dad on his mobile. According to Junior, the lady said: ”The subscriber you have dialled is not available to pick your call at the moment, please try again later’
