Traffic Enforcer

Another long overdue post..

Have you ever noticed that whenever you pass through a place with cars at a standstill but is not normally known to have traffic, there is usually a traffic enforcer right smack in the middle of it?

Matbe it's due to bad judgement on the part of the enforcer, heck it's OFTEN due to bad judgement!

But then again, you have to take a look at the job title...

"TRAFFIC ENFORCER"

I guess they're just doing their jobs..

Enforcing the traffic. :P

Burst of Inspiration

Sometimes I surprise even myself..

Didn't go to the hospital today.. Was feeling a little under the weather and needed to take a break from it al..

Though this post will not be the great filler that I had long wanted to write, this will have to do for the meantime.

Things have surprisingly not been going well back at the good old hospital.. While it is true that we have shaken one form of "tyranny" from the seniors long gone, we seem to have encountered a strange new dynamic wherein you have favoritism taken to the extreme. Couple that with relatively poor leadership, and you have yet another winning combination which leads me to wonder what the hell are gonna do the following year, seeiug as the previous batches haven't exactly been "good role models" or shining examples of leadership and seniority that we could try to emulate.. but I guess these are problems that we'll just have to deal with another time..

Ok, so i wasn't able to post the last time..

So now i'm writing a new otne with the hope that I might not forget it the second time around.. I'll still be posting the other one though.

Sneak Attack

Having a little bit of time to myself this morning, I decided to jot down this little missive (thanks to the power of the iPad :P). Things have been really crazy as of late, with various stuff spiralling out of control, but at the same time other aspects have begun to stabilize. It still a confusing whirlwind of comings and goings but we manage to pull through.

A question was put forth before me in the form of a song title a few weeks ago.. Sexy, free, and single? Well, yeah, i guess so.. :P

I tried..

I really need to start writing again..

Lately everything in my life has been such a blur.. I don't know what to make of things anymore..

And now something really big just came up, and I feel that my life is about to spiral out of control..

Nothing makes sense anymore.. I hate to sound so melodramatic, but I presently feel that I no longer have anything to live for..

Regrets abound,and there's nothing I can really do about it..

I'm actually writing this as a warmup to a much bigger thing, the most difficult letter I will probably ever have to write in my entire life..

Exhaustion

Man, I'm tired..

I know I should be out there fighting the good fight and all that crap, but I'm just so tired already.. I feel so worn down..

Second year is really no joke.. It's kinda like a double whammy.. You're already dead tired from working at the ER every duty, but you're also expected to be at your very best during your multiple lectures and conferences..

To top it all off, we didn't even get a Christmas break last year..

This sucks... :(

I really wish I had a whole lot more time to myself, especially do to what I want, like blogging for instance..

Last Day Off

I went on an involuntary hiatus of sorts, since it wasn't really totally up to me. I was experiencing a kind of situation, you see..

..and I certainly hope the image obviates the need for any further uncomfortable explanations..

Still, there wasn't really much free time to go around in order for me (supposedly) get stuff done whilst I'm away from the constricting tendrils of the beloved hospital, as the past two days found me shuttling between desperately trying to keep myself hydrated and going on regular trips to the loo to undo what I had just attempted minutes ago..

Yes it was a pretty sad situation, and it would have made things much worse since it was the middle of the week which mean nobody would be home pretty much the entire day. Luckily, brother was around since he was on his 8 days of "forced" leave. (I'm astounded by these companies who jam leaves down their employees throats if they are unable to consume them within the year.. but I digress)

The fact that I DID have some time was not lost on me though, and I tried to make the most of this pair of days by unwinding a bit (when I wasn't shivering with fever or passed out from dehydration).

A few days ago, I had the good fortune of being able to drop by the local bookstore and snapped up a copy of one of these..

Ain't it just peachy keen? :P

I haven't read Archie for the longest time. In fact, it think the last time I picked up an Archie comic and reas it was sometime during 1st year medical school, or even earlier..

Reading through it was such a total hoot! Especially since it was my preferred bathroom reading during my youth (hehe). Aside from samples of stories from every decade that Archie has been in existence, it also featured commentaries from people within the Archie company, as well as various names in the comic book business, with luminaries such as Stan Lee lending their pens to scribble a few of their fondest Archie memories and stories, which are then featured in the book.

Brother also brought me a little surprise the other day which I only got around to reading just now..

Another chapter to the story of the Sixth child of the Sixth child..

Yup, it's the 5th installment to the Trese series of graphic novels that I have been collecting. I won't leave spoilers here as its a fairly new book, but suffice to say that I didn't think I saw that one coming. The plot is now getting thicker, and I can't wait for the guys to churn out the next issue.. yes, it's THAT good. :D

Dang, it's time to get some shuteye already? Dammit, I know this being sidelined by diarrhea was too good to last.. (huh? :P). Until next time then.
