The background:
This past month, I've been having lunch with and getting to know this pretty cute med student. She calls me her "lunch buddy." So yea...
Today:
This afternoon, I was doing a consultation when I see her out of the corner of my eye, walk in to the station. She doesn't say hi, she doesn't wave. She talks to another medical student and laughs at his joke or some other random comment.
Then I feel it. That all too familiar gorge rising, my face feeling flush, and the pulse in my temple pound. I was getting pissed. At her. At him. Seriously, I was getting jealous.
It took me a few minutes to settle down. I thought, "What the hell is happening? I'm getting all worked up, about NOTHING!!! WTF, man!!!"
I seriously never pegged myself to be the jealous type. But here I am, "civil as an orange" to quote an old play.
Wow. Who knew?

Maybe Mercury is in retrograde or something - you're getting jealous and I am getting insomnia... fabulousness all around!!
It's probably just nerves. I'm sure the insomnia will go away after 26 miles of running.
That is quite sweet that you felt jealousy and didn't act on it! Not always is it sweet, but I'm sure she would have been flattered although it may have been embarrasing.....:)
Yes, I'm not one to cause drama, especially in the workplace. Besides, the guy she was talking to was a pretty decent dude (I've worked with him before). Still, it stings when you get snubbed.
