The day before I joined my is turning out to be a dull day. Nothing much to do. But a fear of novelty overhanging. I guess that is there in all facets of life. I’m just getting really worried about a senior who is known to physically abuse his juniors. I’m under him for the next six months. Naturally, I should feel scared.
After joining this unit, I’ll have more days in the OT. That means less free time to even go out and pay my bills. I hope I can manage somehow.
There is something about October in Mumbai that is so very cool. Cool as in literally cool as well as the slang cool. The shades of sun at dawn and dusk are just lovely. The air is fresh. Not too much of heat as comparted to yesteryears. I feel very happy to even walk around in the wards. It is just on the chillier side which is the only bad aspect from my point of view. I’m so thin and scrawny, I can’t stand low temperature.
Today was a busy day with taking over from my next unit mates. Got some free time in the afternoon and went out and had a lunch at McDonalds in the mall. Then I went to Xanders. I couldn’t enjoy playing music as usual. Because of the fact that my bass guitar’s one pick was not working. I want to get it repaired soon.
I must have mentioned sometime back about JAK, a fellow resident in Anaesthesia who is from my home state. He was my only hope of using my mother tongue in this hospital. Therefore, I had expected our friendship to blossom. The first few days when we had to stay at Xander’s changed all that. I and Xander were irritated by JAK’s various habits and behavioural pattern. Nothing all that bad. Just irritating stuff.
One of the habits which I really hated was the habit of keeping tabs of his spendings on his laptop computer. That too upto paise. Otherwise, he was very analytical in his spending practices. He’s also fond of good gadgets.
Recently he bought a Nokia 6620. He had showed it to me a few weeks back. I didn’t think highly of it. Just an expensive phone.
Yesterday night, he came with that mobile for doing something for a patient in the ward. He said that he’d taken GPRS and it was so much of fun.
In about 20 minutes time, I checked the phone and GPRS stuff and found that it was too good. I could read tabs, check mail, maybe even blog had I got such a phone. WOW!
Two things are highlighted here. One is the fact that JAK is a very intelligent objective buyer. Secondly, such a purchase could change my life. But how do I do that?
There is this colleague of mine who is very interested in women. He always talks about having sex and women with me. When I appear disinterested he is sort of pissed. Today, as we were having food out, he was commenting on the hot shapes. After about five minutes hoping for a response from my side he asked me ‘Kris, are your testosterone levels low? I couldn’t help but smile and appear like I am staring at someone’s breast.
I want to assure you guys that whatever I did in the morning today, was purely accidental. I was very sleepy when I went to the Operation Theatre to give the list of patients to be shifted. I didn’t notice that the head sister, a relatively hot woman (in the view point of straight guys) was standing close. When I went to grab at a piece of paper at the desk, my hand accidentally hit this sister’s butt. She was startled and I said sorry. She asked me to never do it again!
The servants (all male) totally enjoyed this. I did it as well. Well, don’t misunderstand me. I enjoyed it because I made some hot servants think dirty. I was so aroused by activating dirty sexual thoughts into them that I was erect most of the time in the OT under scrubs
I’m really unbelievable.
Although I am sort of against the MR’s (Medical Representatives) offers and gifts, I had to accept this huge gift of a heater cum oven. I’m planning to send it to Mom as a belated birthday present. That should make her extremely happy. If I don’t manage to do that, Xander will be happy to have it at the apartment as well.
However less busy I’m, I’m not getting time to call my friends and family. Sometimes, I forget it completely. I don’t know what I should be doing about this. The fact that I’m going to be busier scares me. Maybe I’ll lose all contacts with my friends in the coming 6 months. Come on, that is so scary!
Whenever I decide to devote some time to my private life, I end up screwing my professional life. Yeah, the sleeplessness had remarkable and drastic effects at the emergency. I was so sleepy that my seniors gave me firing. What should I have done? Not go to Xander’s?
The guilty conscience was ripping me apart. Add to it a short message service message (looks weird ain’t it – I meant an SMS message) from Xander saying ‘Kris, it’s been a while… and we’re supposed to be in a band’ which made me feel extremely sorry for the decision I made on Saturday. What did I do? I got out of the hospital around 11. At home, I found Xander and P. lounging with Rum and guitars. Xander was not drunk. Therefore, we played a lot of tunes and we sounded great. Expecially ‘Rooster’ and ‘Sludge Factory’ by Alice In Chains.
But we got loud and one of the irritating neigbhors gave us a warning to stop playing loud. Xander got very pissed. Then we talked about various issues including my problems with my parents and family. After that he asked me a strange question which still bothers me ‘Kay, In a love relationship, when do you decide that it is enough?’
After that, I came back at around 3 in the morning. I have to do lots of work tomorrow baby. And I’ll be sleepy throughout emergency.
