Ok... So I went out tonight to "watch the hockey game", though in reality I went to drink beer and ignore the game.
But some friends were (back) in town.
Med students that graduated in may, and now are off being real mini-docs of their own.
And so we were all sitting there... drinking beer... watching hockey... catching up...
And-
no one could talk about anything but work.
"oh my god well I had this patient who..."
"oh yeah? well MY med student did..."
And I just thought "oh god... am I that boring?"
No offense to my friends... I know what they're going through... it's all new and exciting and overwhelming.... but not at a bar, guys.
I know I tell a lot of stories.
I find them amusing. I think they're worth sharing.
But now that I'm on the other end of the stick-
God I hope I don't bore you all to death.
If I do- would you please tell me to SHUT THE FUCK UP and STOP TALKING SHOP?
Ok?!
Thank you.
Then the one non-medical guy brought some friends of his over... all musicians... Including Paolo. Paolo is Italian. I was fascinated, because I speak italian (sort of), and was so excited to have someone to talk to. And damn... an italian accent is hot. Unfortunately, I think that was misinterpreted as romantic interest. Oy...
Blah.
Time for bed.
Go sabres?
(I got yelled at for ordering Sam Adams at Faherty's. "it's a boston beer". Shit... sorry... Boston's my home team, though.)
