"Keep it light, Don't get too involved, Never get hurt" - Samantha Jones



I broke these rules recently and today I got hurt. The late night phone calls, dozen long stem roses, fancy brunches...all very nice, but seriously, how does someone who works 80 hrs/week have time and energy for all this. It's overwhelming. These internal medicine boys...ick.
So this morning while biking home from the hospital after my night shift in the pouring rain, I get a good morning phone call on my cell, I answer it of course - I hate missing phone calls. Out of nowhere some other biker dude pulls out in front of me, in my attempt to stop on the slippery road I literally flew over my handle bars. Cell phone, bike, backpack, me...all flying in the air. I'm sure it was quiet a show for the cars stuck in traffic beside me. A few shouted out to see if I was OK. With as much dignity as I could muster I raised a hand to signal I was alive...phone rings again. Must have hung up in all the commotion....
"I just crashed my bike!"
"Oh"
"I'm fine, I gotta go"
The moral of the story, keep it light, don't get too involved, and you won't be answering distracting phone calls at 0730 causing you to fly off your bike into oncoming traffic, cutting your hand and arm open and bruising your knee, thigh and pelvis - i.e hurt.

Also good advice from Miss Jones, if you're interested..."If you're never someones girlfriend, you can never be they're ex-girlfriend!
