i try not to mix pleasure with work given that work at the hospital is horrid enough as it is. but it's always the people at work that make the job itself bearable. i have this policy when it comes to homo sapiens. 'crazy until proven otherwise'. which is why i have many acquaintances and few friends. or maybe it's just my anti-social nature. i wouldn't know. nobody goes round asking fellow human beings 'excuse me, but are you psychotic and clingy because i'm considering making you my friend?' which is why everybody at my Foundation Program think i'm this anti-social thing that doesn't bother talking sincerely at all. until i went out with a bunch of them, that is. more on that in tomorrow's post. still, i'm the one who always gives these anti-organization and smartass remarks. it scares everyone away, which is basically the desired effect. that way, i don't have to entertain acquaintances and answer all those introductory questions at all. in fact, my latest whoopass reply that i always have to answer goes something like this:

Random Person: So what do you do for a living?

Me: I'm a nurse.

RP: Oh wow. A male nurse! That's interesting! Why nursing?

Me: That's a really long story you know. When i was a very impressionable young boy, my father he took me to the city, to see this marching band. He said something like 'Son! When you grow, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?'. Then he went on 'Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non-believers and the plans that they have made'. Then i was like. Ok lor. So here i am.

RP: Ehrm okay. I'm going to get more champagne. (leaves)

hoorah! one less irritating person. and more time for me to focus on you, my readers. so do you think you are the psychotic and clingy type because i'm considering making you my friend?
