Whatever happened to chivalry?

I was supposed to be on call today...but another colleague changed his call with mine...so this week i'm actually quite free...till Friday...this morning was scope day...didn't get to do any OGDS...but saw lots of colonoscopy...we finally finished about 1.30pm...i was so hungry by then...although i hardly did anything...hehe...

After lunch the bosses were having viva for the HOs...i was settling the OT list for the visiting surgeons to Beaufort Hospital...then a colleague of mine walked in with 3 volumes of a patient's file...she said, "for mortality meeting"...great!!! 3 thick volumes to summarize...which i managed to before the bosses finished with their viva...

I followed boss' car to Queen so he offered to send me back to SMC to get my car...so there i was, carrying 3 thick files, walking with him to the carpark, which is about 3 mins walk...i think i was actually huffing and puffing while i was walking...but he only bothered to ask if i wanted him to help me carry the files when we were about 100m from his car...really, whatever happened to chivalry? not that i really expect guys to help me carry heavy stuffs...i'm quite the feminist...and i'm more than able to carry them...but really, chivalry is an extinct word in these modern days...

Came home feeling so sleepy...almost dozed off in the car a few times while i was driving back...thank God nothing happened...slept about 1 hour before i woke up for dinner...as usual, yoghurt and cereal...now i'm feeling sleepy again...yawn...
