Hahaha, despite being an insomniac and completely exhausted I was very productive at work today. While everyone else was at a training I managed to draft a lab protocol and edit a research ethics application for a study (due manana) before our end of the day meeting.
not too shabby.
Anyway to celebrate our long work day, TWO hospital directors invited my co-workers and I out for a fancy Vietnamese buffet dinner. It was a nice night with good food, good wine, and lots of jokes. I was able to forget about other things and just laugh and enjoy good company.
Errr...but then near the end of the night they made a joke and asked me about what my boyfriend was like (they do that a lot in Vietnam no matter your relationship status). And I took a deep breath and tried to make a joke and I said something with a smile...as the TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY FACE.
wooooooooooow. and my thought was, damn. I. am. awkward. These are THE top dogs and here I am being totally juvenile.
but then. BUT THEN. they gave me more wine and started to boy bash. ah. I am with good people. :D
