Back from the country for good!
ITs been a GREAT 4 weeks!
and i've done and realised a couple of things..
including the following:

1) I had BEER (apparently Gippsland is famous for its beer and Lauren asked me to try.. so i did) and asked for a pizza "with the most meat on it" for dinner one night.
I so freaked the waiter out.
And the people i was with at dinner too.
And i was the driver that night
Being on my Ps and not being allowed to drink,
i flipped my keys over to the guy (i've known for like.. 2 weeks) and told him to drive my car.
and it was alot of fun.
and this story shall end here. (before i embarrass myself)

2)Being friendly and being professional
is the weirdest feeling in the world.

when u see your fellow doc on the ward.. looking all smart in long sleeved shirt and tie..very glamarously walking around the accomodation..standing in front of you brushing his teeth with an electric toothbrush, tie flipped over his shoulder, nudging you to wake up.

And then in half an hour, working together on the wards, where everything is extremely polite in front of all the staff and you keep your professional distance and appropriate conversations (which usually tends to disintegrate by the end of the day when i get multiple reminders (ie NAGS) to see all his patients and get them discharged.
UghHS.
And then getting verbal referrals outside of work time just because we hang out together.
Sometimes.. the boundaries are very blurry...

i think.. its just easier to be either purely friends OR colleagues
especially with a guy. at. work.
because people TALK.
esp nurses.. and everyone DOES notice when they flirt with the docs. (haha)
And they he complains i'm aloof and am ignoring him when we meet on the ward.
*sticks out tongue*
all too complicating.
which is why i'm glad we are not working together anymore! =)
