Early part to middle of last week (October 20-22/23)
I thought I had tonsilitis; I was feeling slightly feverish at times and my throat my sore. I looked at it and there was a mouth sore (singaw, in Filipino) right there on the tonsilar area. It was still tiny and so I just let it be because it usually resolves itself in a week.
October 24
Went clubbing with my college mates (
pictures here). There were other people who were supposed to come with, but pfft. Friday night, so Embassy was packed; tons of hot guys, lots of funny things we talked about. We should do this again! It's hard for our schedules to meet though, coz we're all nurses and shifting sucks.
October 25
Got home at 5:30 AM, slept at quarter to 6 in the morning and woke up at 12:40 PM because I HAVE TO GO TO WORK OMG.
Pretty uneventful day at work, thank heavens. (You know this part,
honest_illusion XD) A surgical intern was flirting heavily as it is his nature. It was nice to tell him off sometimes (ie. I offered them -- two interns, two residents -- some of the cake we had and he was all "give me a slice? *puppy eyes*" and I was just "you have hands, go slice one for yourself").
Anyway, so the entire surgery team knows of the shit that went down with me and my scumbag of an ex-boyfriend (who is an OR nurse), and they tease me about that sometimes. Flirty!Intern mentions something about missing having sex (HONESTLY) and then the conversation went to me finding him a fuck buddy. I told him there are tons of nurses in the operating room who are sluts (very derogatory, but who sleeps with a man who has a wife and kids -- this guy was an ER nurse; and has also slept with some guy who had a girlfriend who are both OR nurses?).
Flirty!Intern: Give me a name! A name and a number, or it's nothing.
Me: I don't want to name names! I'm already in too much hot water with the OR nurses as it is! (with the issue with my scumbag ex)
*more haggling*
Me: Fine, there's one who has slept with an ER nurse who's married and her name's the same as the girl who my ex cheated on me with.
Also, now my mouth sore has gone bigger the size of...half the nail of my pinky, and I can barely eat for the past few days. People at work have been commenting how thin I'm getting (I showed them the effin' mouth sore so they'll see how hard it is to swallow, okay?!). And to top it off, I'm coming down with colds. BRILLIANT.
October 27
I resolved to get my mouth sore seen by a doctor later on the day after work (my shift was until 2 PM). Even drinking water stings. :(
Earlier at work that morning, however, I saw Flirty!Intern.
F!I: I know who you were talking about last time.
Me: Huh? Who?
F!I: My girlfriend.
OHMYFUCKINGGOD YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN MY FACE.
Me: ... *decides not to mention names just in case we had different girls* Who? Really? Find another one!
F!I: It's too late, we've already sealed the deal.
Me: Really? (My voice? And my face held this look of 'no fucking way, your in a relationship with that chick?!')
Fucking embarassing. So the girl really was his girlfriend, and I just told him she was a slut. Now I don't fucking mind (even if Flirty!Intern is good looking) because they're both rather slutty (intern had some fling with a pediatric resident before current chick) -- all I need is for the girl not to know that it came from me!
Flirty!Intern wasn't the least bit pissed off at me; he can even make jokes about how 'we should get together instead' so really, my worry is going to work one day and slutty chick is all in war mode. Not that I'm spreading lies (I got news of her dalliances with the married man himself), but I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING TALKED ABOUT IN THE HOSPITAL, TYVM.
In the meantime, my mouth sore is still making it painful for me to eat. The doctor made me take antibiotics for 5 days and gargle this thing and to see her after two days. Went back to her, feeling like nothing's improving because blasted sore still looks the same, but apparently it's healing, and now I don't feel too much pain. YAY!
November 1
You know, I thought that it was the last of it, that telling Flirty!Intern his girlfriend is a slut. Talked to one of his co-interns today, and apparently, there are rumors that Flirty!Intern's girlfriend is jealous over one of the nurses in our unit. The nurses who are actually all majorly friendly with the interns are me and Millie, and I've had more personal interaction with Flirty!Intern than she had, so...
THIS IS JUST BRILLIANT. I've done nothing to make me feel guilty of purposely stealing him or anything (she can keep him, boy's a fucking player) but I'd rather not be talked about so soon y'know?
Actually, Flirty!Intern's hot, by my standards (he sort of looks like Hyun Joong from the Korean boy band SS501), but he speaks in this way that totally makes you go "... *make a face*", and he flirts like there's no tomorrow. So slutty OR nurse can definitely keep him.
In the meantime, we've another clubbing date set three days from now and I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR. !!!
And now it's 2:20 in the morning, because I've been watching We Got Married (thanks very much,
callherblondie :P). Quite addicting. And yes, Hyun Joong is there and the more I see him, the more I do NOT see the similarity with Flirty!Intern, thank heavens.
