A Life Less Ordinary

What a glorious day it is today…..frack that…today was one hell of a ride. A heart got lost. Yes, literally…a human heart. Funny, I was doing one of the big experiments today…and was having some problems. My Boss was kinda pissy with the results of an experiment that basically says we have a big huge dump of data we can never use. All that hard work…nulled by a simple test that should have been done a long time ago. Now, everyone is in that foul mood…where you just wanna hide whatever sunshine you have left…lest they steal it from you. Alas…I get the entire 4th floor looking for me. Apparently, some people kept calling, looking for me regarding a surgery I did last week. Apparently, the heart was missing. It was the single request of the family to leave the heart in the body…and now it was gone. Just my luck…I am suspect #1(reminds me of PGH charity hospital). I am really not in any position to reveal much details…except for the fact the heart was missing…I was being grilled in a conference call(I was on a speaker talking to the heads of offices)…and I was being asked to do all sorts of stuff. But wait…just so there can be no confusion, I placed the heart back in the body. Together with my chinese surgeon partner. So what happened to it? Somewhere along the line…someone either got it or forgot to put it back. I know a lot of researchers need different things from cadavers…but it would take a really cruel person to just steal it off the bat. I think everyone just infected me with this foul mood. Studying(my only social interaction) and my weekly darts thursday game are definitely out since I promised a friend I would watch his wife’s dance production. All that plus the pressure of my exams and the bleak possibility I may lose my temporary job because of this. Times like this makes me happy I dont own a gun…I can just shoot myself. Times like this I wish I got someone to hug…instead of kicking elevators when no ones around…Times like these I wish I had a place to hang my battered heart…and a cold glass of beer or diet rum coke…
