Dr McDreamy-to-be

We run into each other for the first time in 5 months. He remembers my name (his returns to me 5min later) and notes my protracted absence. I am easily coaxed into gatecrashing the Pharm sundowner with him. He volunteers reflections on his experience in the current surgery rotation. I am almost ready to gatecrash the ward where he's headed afterwards. He moves closer ostensibly to get away from the shrieking girls behind him.

The whole encounter is dampened somewhat by a handshake goodbye... Like, wtf?

Next time I'm asking him to coffee and showing him what a proper friendly gesture looks like.

red spells trouble

So I have a thing for red-heads. Fine. But can it be this flagrant?

I caught myself flirting (although I couldn't be sure, as it's been a while vis-a-vis members of this team) with a ginger-bearded, softly-spoken percussionist whose day job in uni admin is funding his dream of becoming a music producer. Would've organised coffee if he wasn't the one signing my pay forms.

To think, had I stayed in that apically monochromatic land, this affliction of mine might never have come to light! Life is grand.
