The Pager
Last night, resident boyfriend was on call...and we had only one
conversation about his pager. It was when we were in the car on the
way to pick up dinner in which he asked me, "you know I'm on call,
right?" I responded that I did and that was it. :)
We went to bed around midnight and still hadn't acknowledged the
pager. It turned out to be a good night--he didn't get called once.
:o)
The lack of pager acknowledgment goes back to the Trauma G-d thing. I
know it's illogical, but it's the only form of protecting this pager
from going off.
When we first started living together, resident boyfriend was about to
fall asleep in the apartment. Like an idiot, (hey, we had just started
dating so I didn't know any better), I jokingly said, "hey, Jason, I
think your pager went off."
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I witnessed my poor boyfriend jumping out of bed, feverishly searching
for his pager, and about to get dressed in his scrubs as I realized
that I was going to have to fess up that...the pager hadn't gone off.
He forgave me, thank goodness...but that's probably because I was
quite wide eyed watching him scurry. He knew that I didn't do it as a
sick joke.
He was then completely wide awake for a few hours and, unfortunately,
was paged all night that night. Like every hour on the hour. I sat
next to him and felt just horrible...
But, I learned a very, very important lesson that night: No jokes with
the pager. Ever.
This is resident boyfriend asleep on my lap last night. :)
By the way, because of the Trauma G-ds, resident boyfriend has to be
on call the day that the weather is amazingly nice... Blah. Today's
weather is on the right:
We can't wait to go home...

My Photo
Doc's Girl
Hi, My name's Avi and I'm a doctor's girlfriend. This blog is
about a pair of perverted nerds who met, fell in love, got
crazy, bought a condo together, and tackle the normal day to
day struggles of a demanding schedule, crazy family members,
freezing cold temperatures, mortgage payments, and our love for
grocery stores and clearance items...all while staying sober. I
lost both of my parents 3 years ago in a fire, have a 15 year
old brother I am co-guardian of, and an older sister that I'm
going through a messy divorce with. (Yes, I realize how weird
that sounds.) My boyfriend has been an amazing partner and he
was, only at first, someone I knew that I could be friends with
and share my obsession of Thai food, DVDs, spotting Indian
people who love to stare at us because I'm with the white guy,
and celebrity news with. He's my partner, my best friend, the
love of my life, and just so happens to be a doctor. I've been
sober for two years, happily relationshipped for over a year,
and savoring this second chance at life. I don't plan on
screwing it up...
