I don't appreciate it being hinted that I'm socially handicapped because I'm a single male nurse, thank you very much... and no, I'm not gay.

You'd totally go gay for me.

[scrubbedup]

I'm not, I'm extremely pissed off about it. Nothing is churning. I was ill, I had a fever. Now I'm not.

[peninmypocket]

Alright, alright. No churning. Why are you pissed off?

[scrubbedup]

Because she told our boss what we were doing.

[peninmypocket]

When?

[scrubbedup]

I don't know when. I don't think it was just recently.

[peninmypocket]

Don't you think if your boss was going to say something, it would have been as soon as he found out?

[scrubbedup]

That's not the point. She said she wouldn't say anything, and she did. I'm not risking my career for anything. I've worked fucking hard to get here. I was lucky to get a placement in Princeton.

[peninmypocket]

You just told me?

[scrubbedup]

Well it hardly matters! It's out there now, isn't it? And you're not my friggen boss!

[peninmypocket]

Whoa! Don't bite my head off, man. And no, it's not out there.

[scrubbedup]

It's out there enough. It's out there more than it ever should have been.

[peninmypocket]

Point taken, not mentioning it ever again.

[scrubbedup]

Good, because between you and Mel and Randy, I'm about ready to bang my head against the wall. I made a mistake, a big one. End of story.

[peninmypocket]

Trust me, I'm dropping it. I don't need you bitching me out while we try and watch porn. I'm sure you'll find someone who isn't a mistake soon enough. Then I'll just once again live vicariously while my boring dick gets nothing.

Sometimes nothing is better than something. It's safer, no one gets hurt. It's not hard to get sex, just don't fuck a colleague. Or your boss.
