peeping stares
he stared...at me.
do i have a dirty spot on my face? why the heck is he looking at me weird? did i do something wrong? after all, i am an orientee and he was my orientor and it was his obligation to monitor my procedures and to correct my errors.
i just started this other job at this acute hospital in los angeles ( but concentrated mainly on medical-surgical and oncology) . i have to be an orientee for a whole month (two weeks of which i did already) due to the many hospital protocols, medical treatments and procedures i am subjected to learn and hopefully remember when i am alone. and of course, he was my orientor and i only met him this weekend since this is my second job.
and we clicked.
by the end of saturday, we were getting along fine. he complimented me for my enthusiasm, knowledge and for being such a fast and yet, patient learner. then today, he opened up more. he mentioned his ex gf's and his current, his life, his struggles, his family. and i , being the coward that i am, i chose to not disclose my life...not yet. i just met him yesterday!
then today came, while i documented the treatments and procedures done on the patients' charts, he sat either in front of me or beside me. he' was supposed to look and check whether i charted right, to monitor my manual skills and to check whether i did it safe. to be fair, he did all these.
but he also stared.
stared at me, a lot. there were times when i coincidently looked his way and our eyes would meet and i would smile and he would, too. and then i 'd avoid his stares because it made me uncomfy. i think he noticed it so he'd pretend he wasn't looking at me.
at the corner of my eyes, then i would check if he did. i 'd glimpse at him and again, i would caught him staring at me. other times, when we did manual skills like drawing blood or do electrocardiogram ( EKG), he would hold my hand. if i did a great job, he would pat my back. or give a lose hug. and i cracked up jokes, he woudl laugh so hard. i'd tease him and he would tease me back. and oh yeah, he bought me lunch and made me coffee. hehehe.
he's cute, he is very gentleman, very funny, down to earth and mom likes him...he is very educated.
but... he also has a gf.
i'll see him again this week when i work there on the weekend. and once again, i will survey his stares and gazes.
his name is doug...i call him, " professor doug."
