starting my day with a rental car didn't sound intriguing specially on a blue Monday.Spending about 10 min in a gray CHOC shuttle in a deep silence while having no desire to listen to classic music made the atmosphere look only worse. I tried to suffocate my sadness originated from a gloomy weather .It was time to get off the shuttle and go to a den deep down the hospitals's basement a.k.a Biomed Office. While waiting for the elavator - that seemed to take an eternity to lift only an inch above the ground,I noticed the old nurce yawning next to me which inevitably spread throughout the 1st floor.The janitor ,trying to fit her essential tools in an over-loaded elavator,proudly anounced :"It's a Monday"...Thanks for the tip...As if I wasn't sure about the calendar accuracy...I covered my total disinterest in the insignificance of the matter by covering my face with a fake archaic smile...

Then there was the English guy whom I tried to avoid the minute I started my job,He never seemed to realize why I kept avoiding the staff elavator;Neither did he realize why I kept walking in a speed of light with my 5" heals, when he was approaching...Had to give him an archaic smile as well...It was now time to check the rounds and PMs in PICU (which always makes me sad),where the black lady with white scrubs asked me if I was working for Biomed and then tried to look at me again as if I was reincarnated in that place infront of her...let alone with the way she was looking at my shoes and outfit...When she made sure that I was an entry level engineer trying to get used to a new male-dominated field,she nodded her head in an attemp to admire my bravity and mumbled something.

Then they were babies screaming as if there was no tomorrow ,and It was then that I realized that it's a bout the time to quaff my Jasmine tea till the last drop and let it calm me down...I finished my job and I left for the day,but I was happy again,that I made a contribution and that I was healthy and appreciated having what I took for granted...And there I went about another day,another dream and ...Thank you GOD
