In need of somone good with electricity

Despite promising photos of Brisbane/the Gold Coast from my trip over new year's to Australia, my computer decided it would prefer not to turn on and give itself a holiday too. So until I can get the thing to someone who can play around with the inside wires, I'm stuck using a crappy chuggy computer that i don't dare load anything onto.

However, in the mean time i've started my trainee intern year, the sixth year of medical school where we're let loose on patients and my first rotation happens to be Obs and Gynae. Just came off of a 'long day' meaning 8am-10pm, and the same again tomorrow - at least babies are cute, even if they're always covered in white gunk and make me worry about giving birth in the future! I got to see a few tearful fathers cutting the cord today while mothers look on, absolutely exhausted. This one woman had been in labour for so many hours, the first bite of a subway footlong after delivery brought tears to her eyes.. :)

So all is good, but exhausting - is it bad to pine for holidays again in January?

signing off,
