Ebullient Eve in particular.
Remember how I mentioned once that my handful of junior colleagues were all senselessly squabbling amongst themselves? Well the battlefield has been narrowed down to two major combatants. On one side, you have the fast-and-furious Eve with her staccato, painfully cutting remarks. And the unfortunately outgunned, woefully unprepared Nervous Nancy with her treacherous stammer at the other.
Like David and Goliath, it would seem almost like a foregone conclusion - if you didn't count on Nancy's secret arsenal of powerful nervous breakdowns. Seriously.
Unfortunately the brawlers here are all female. Sugar and spice they're not.
You see, our Nancy - in her own lovably clumsy way - stepped on Eve's tail last weekend. Just a lil mistake on her part that caused a cataclysmic nuclear meltdown on Eve's part.
Nancy : Oopsie.
Eve : For this you suffer and die, you little mongrel cur!
Perhaps not as dramatic but the dangerous undercurrents were there nonetheless. Wasn't privy to the ensuing catfight but I certainly heard enough on the department grapevine to shudder.
Of course then we had Nancy having a wet-watery wail in the ward.
Even Grey's Anatomy couldn't concoct such dramatics.
Not even a jaunt Down Under served to soothe Eve's wronged wrath. Every street, every shop, in fact every damned lamppole seemed to remind her of Nancy's wrongs. Left bubbling beneath their professional civility, the simmering tension amongst the girls have even driven the newest - our Garrulous Gwen - up the wall. Hard to remain bipartisan when everyone has an opinion here.
Paul : Can we stop the fighting?!
Till even the most accomodating of the female quintet, Patient Penny, finally gave up and marched to the office.
Penny : I have only one request for our next colleague.
Paul : Yeah, what's up?
Penny : Please let the next one be a guy.
Paul : God I hope so.
I'm reluctantly starting to agree.
A guy under me. Hmm... preferably brilliant, buff ... and bisexual.

More female MOs opt to train in your specialty. Maybe they enjoy doing the Mallampati. ;p

Ooh...the idea of a young, hawt, BISEXUAL intern working under (literally perhaps? hehe) you does wonders for the mind, doesn't it? ;)
lol...
somehow i kindda lost all the thoughts and comments after reading the first few words of the last sentence...
was it meant to be able to be interpreted in more than one way?
hehehe ;p
i didn realise the significance of last sentence until i read cyid's comment, naughty u :P
a guy under u~ lol... this sentence means other things kah? :P
Oh but catfights are the best! (Aren't they? Hehe.)
Good thing they don't go around splashing slurpees into each other faces. Or burst out into melodramatic songs.
Can you picture Eve singing the line, "Nervous Nancy, I hate you,"?
