Best thing
Its easy preparing, and packing prepared meals for patients
Worst thing
Being in the refrigerated room and freezer, where i pick and packed meals for patient wards and stored them in cooler boxes, almost 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.And in 3 days a week i am only alone doing pick and pack in the refrigerated room for 10 cooler boxes or 20+ patient wards and uncluterring the food storage,(in short we are understaff in that 3days a week).So in that 3 days im alone, i have to be quick in order to finish on time of delivery of my colleages, but most of the time i get complaints from my colleages because mistakes and missed food in their cooler boxes which i prepared, that stresses me.
