it is sunday morning, and I decided to blog some. Since I have wanted this to be kinda like a diary and so far I have not written anything personal, i decided to talk about that , Lo And Behold , "The people I work with "
now that may make it seem that I adore my work & ppl there. while the truth is totally the opposite. I am not writing out of hatred either , I mean , I simply dont care much about ppl in there , except that, for the fact that there r 12 ppl in my unit, they are very unique unusual characters. 2 AT LEAST of wich have major psychiatric problems. I had another colleague, an older dr, we usually discuss these 2 characters and try to classify them according to the DSM classification.
I have dubbed some of my colleagues with nicknames , simply bkz these nicknames suit them more than their real name :D
let's see...............
1- Black Pete : black Pete is kind of the boss. He has been in that job for 9 years . 9 WHole years in that tedious job !! I think he deserves a medal for that . He is a nice guy, altho, when he acts mean when the other mean ppl are around. and oh how much he loves to teach, if I ask him a simple question at 9 am , I will be lucky if I go home at 3:30 pm. But , to be honest , he knows his stuff and I respect him. I feel sorry for him tho, he claims he is a "Panthesit" or something. which means he belives in all Gods or whatever. He was complained that how can God know how it feel to be human , to be Lonely.... I was thinking then " Oh well, God sure know how it feels. Jesus was lonely in the graden of Gesthemane and on the cross" but I did not speak, I basically keep commuincations to minimum at work
The reason I dubbed him Black Pete is .... once his beard starts growing.... he really reminds me of Black Pete with his double chin & round face :)
2-The environmentalist: I called him that bkz he just got his Masters in that field. He is a nice african man, and we have carpooled twice in the last week. He is muslim. The thing that kinds irked me while riding with him is his cologne. Gosh so strong and overpowering. Other than that he is ok. One thing tho , when it was my turn to drive, it was sunday, and I had my radio on the christian radio station as usual. I lowered the volume since i didnt want him to think that I am forcing him to listen to christian preaching. I was really surprised when Ravi Zachariah started to preach, my colleague immidiately commented :" Hey ! I listen to this man sometimes too. a very Good speaker". I was so thrilled, but unfortunately we had arrived so i lost the opportunity to discuss that with him
3-Braveheart
(today is October 27 - I think!!!- talk about being committed to writing a diary !! I am hopeless!)
Braveheart is one of the sweetest man I have ever met! he is so kind and helpful, and funny as well, he has his own "words" that we all learn to quote! for example, everytime his shift is over, he stands in the middle of the room, raises his hands and Yells : FREEDOM!!! "that is why I call him braveheart/ like Mel Gibson used to say in the movie. He also has the cutest kids, he is so proud of them , showing me new pics every week :)
4- The shrink : He tries to shrink everyone else & they never notice!!! But not me, I am not going to sit down& tell him my life story. Especially that he shares everything later with the rest!! Not that I would share my problems with him if he did not. I just sit there and have a "Me Speak No English". That works GREAT *giggle*
5-R.
I would have called him the ...umm... , oh well he is nice , but he is gay. Once the radio was on, and they were saying like 70% of population Believes in God " cant really recall the nature of the topic", he started cussing & swearing , and I am thinking to myself: " Yeah right... noone will report u when u curse God, while if I say anything about homosexuality, u will report me & have me fired same day.
