why i hate my job
I wanted to be a dentist ever since. And I am. All I wanted is to treat people, give smiles back. But it is not what I am doing at the moment. I’m sitting here at the reception area of this cursed clinic, with a boss so moody that I really hate.
When I started here, I was more of an assistant than a doctor. Later on, I was more of a hygienist, doing all the prophy’s. Then when I neared my one year mark, I finally get to do stuff that dentists do. I am a dentist. And the good thing about this place is that they allow me to be one. But lately, I am here doing reception work.
The bad things?
My boss is overly demanding. He’s always thinking of himself. He blames everything except for his china made equipment and himself. He blames everyone for lapses and small discrepancies. He would even get mad if he feels a single dust particle on the top border of a door. He’s a perfectionist. And I hate him. He’s a commercial doctor who leaves patients for hours sitting in the dental chair. His extremely moody self is what all of us hate.
Except for him, I hate the saudi people here. They shout at people. They are excessively self centered even if they know little. They think of Filipinos as slaves and sex workers. I hate them.
I hate that I had to be here.
I really do.
I am staying for the sake of my family. I have an obligation to help. I am generous with them and that’s what I don’t want to stop.
After a year, I will go back to the Philippines. I’ll build my own clinic. I’ll prove that I can earn more as a dentist there than a slave here.
I love Dentistry. I love my profession. One day, these people will look up to me.
Now I see what you mean babe. I feel almost the same babe. This is the real world be..we want to be the best babe, but we have to start somewhere. This is how reality receives us that is why we have to overcome it. Everyone that we looked up high started this way. Our parents had it worst during their time, our mentors i’m sure some of them also went through this but they all came through di ba? na kaya nila why can’t we. we will reach our dreams be, just hold on..kaya natin to..I will always pray for us babe.
