night #3

here i am back again on night number 3.
night number 3 also means it's the last night i'm on duty this month.
night number 3 tonight also means that the ward is FULL HOUSE.
and i just got off the phone with an idiot from the bed management unit.
that same idiot whom i fought with a few weeks back.
he called to ask for a bed in the ward. i mean come on lah i have beds booked
by labour ward and you want me to give it up to you?
so here's the conversation, if you readers really wanna know. haha.

me: good morning ward **A. staff nurse idah here.
BMU guy: hi staff. i need a bed.
me: (recognises the idiot's voice) yah i need one too.
BMU guy: haha. it's you. the sarcastic one.
me: sorry, no more beds. all booked by labour ward.
BMU guy: alah.. satu aje. pls?
me: oh okay lah.
BMU guy: baik ah idah! which bed?
me: you can put the patient at the corridor ah. k? i told you no beds wad? ape aku cakap tamil ke?
BMU guy: (starts to get all flirty) idah klaka ah pagi2 gini. haha!
me: aku tau aku memang joker.
BMU guy: so you're not giving me a bed for this patient?
me: did i say i was? lodge her in another ward la.
BMU guy: oh btw have you ever wondered what my name is?
me: why should i?
BMU guy: so you can fight better with me over the phone.
me: crap. are you done?
BMU guy: yeah. my name's farhan.
me: ok bye. (slams the phone)

my on-call doctor was laughing his ass off when i told him,
even gave me a nickname; gangster nurse.
