Conjurator's journal

PRODUCTS:

Encre Noire by Lalique (cover scent) X 3 dabs, 1X to wrist and 2 X neck
IS (2X strength) X 2 to neck and hair

Location: Hardware store, Walm*rt

Historically, I am not a cologne guy.

I mean the first cologne I ever worn is Ammo, if you insist on calling it a cologne. I was tempted recently to try different products to cover neroli which is ok, but not always the odor I wish to send out in all circumstances. I know there are other fragrances offered by AD, but I’d like to fly with my own wings on this.

I don’t pretend being an expert nose able to pick up every single note in a fragrance or things like that. One thing sure, I know whether I like it or not. And I can describe the ambiance and vibe it gives out. So I will share my findings in a very simple and humble way. I will do it in own journal if it’s ok with you because I will almost always use mones also when I’ll use fragrance… I wear mones all the time :slight_smile:.

My first try today has been with Encre Noire by Lalique. The name is french for ‘Black Ink’. The product is nicely packaged in a monolithic, cold and sinister looking bottle. But that goes pretty well with the spirit of the fragrance. If it was music, it would be “Bela Lugosi’s dead” by Bauhaus, for sure. That perfume makes me feel like that star vampire in True Blood or something. It gives out a mysterious, fascinating, almost foreboding vibe.

I only tried a very small quantity, 3 dabs: one to a wrist and two to the neck. The first breath after application was confusing, it was like a cigarette smoker let out a puff in my face, and I am not a smoker, so my first impression was Pfeeeeouuu… But after 5 minutes at most, the scent turned into something that reminded me of an aromatic cigar smell, sweet (as in sugary) but not overwhelming, and altough I don’t smoke, I can appreciate a good cigar. I noted also an etheric note that had light freezing effect in my nose, but I was sniffing my wrist from very close. Just couldn’t stop sniffing like every two minutes. Delicious. After an hour, a subtle cypress tone came out, wet forest ambiance, the cigar smell went to sleep for about an hour leaving only cypress. I applied the IS (hair and wrist) and I drove to the hardware store and once I got there, man, the sweet cigar thing came back strong with a bang. I would turn around and backtrack in an aisle, and I would smell my own sillage. This is crazy and potent stuff. Nothing overbearing though. I went to walmart and a 10/10 looking brunette cashier, maybe 22, gave me the “sweet eye” and I don’t get those usually with IS alone, especially if the girl is out of my league like this one was. I made flyby past lots of women, and a few of them stopped right where they were, stopping their carts abruptly. The fragrance most efficiently covers neroli, that’s for sure, even with IS in my hair. Almost twelve hours after application, I still have a sweet, more musky, but fainter, odor on my wrist.

I like this fragrance very much and I will wear it again for sure. I am crazy about its dark ambiance. I would not wear it with MX297 :wink:. With A314 it would probably kick ass, if I get my hands on that grail someday. In the meantime, I’ll probably try it with IG.

Wow great report on P13… you set a high bar my friend. I hope you get the RU status. It does take patience and consistence.

Thanks a lot Justintime. Feel free to nominate the post my friend :slight_smile:.

I was indeed very satisfied at the amount of details I could get from my last try with P13… Whenever possible, I will give out as much details about every putative I try, leaving the bias out the door.

I know RU is a long process, but I understand why they prefer to keep it under control.

I hope things are getting better on your side.

PRODUCTS:

IS (2X) strength X 2 to neck and hair
Joop Homme (Vintage) (cover scent) X 3 dabs, 1X to wrist and 2 X to neck

Location: Home

I am trying a new cologne again. I heard the legend of this product: Joop Homme. I read all about the new stuff being a watered down version of the original. I decided to give a try to the vintage version. The fragrance is colored: PINK! So that’s not the most visually appealing perfume for a manly guy. The bottle looks like something a bubble-chewing-cheerleader from the 50’s might want to expose on her bedroom dresser, next to a teddy bear or something. So in the aesthtetic department it looks effeminate and girly to start with. But I knew that already and took the risk.

Now… on with the fragrance.

If it was music, it would be “Crocodile Rock” by Elton John, I’d say. It gives out a definite candystore / circus vibe.

I only tried a very small quantity, 3 dabs: one wrist and two to neck, with once again, a somewhat neutral choice of mones. The first breath of Joop was an unwanted attack of citrus-enriched “Army CS gas”, like sniffing a liquid milliliter of Five-Alive in your nose through a straw (imagine something like 40% neroli plus heavy lemon-lime notes in addition to the orange). Disagreeable and too strong of an opening. Hopefully, this disappears completely at drydown. Otherwise, I would have jumped in the shower right away. Thus, my first impression was a no no…

After 5 minutes, the scent turned into fresh cotton candy from the county fair with hints of grape bubblegum and a hint of vanilla, it is overwhelmingly sweet. A diabetic should probably check sugar level after applying this. The scent is not manly at all. Unisex? Probably not even… It reminds me of one of those fruit-smelling dolls from the Strawberry Shortcake collection that one of my female neighbors had as a child. I can’t imagine a girl falling for a guy with Joop. I probably would enjoy that smell on a girl though. I wore the product at home. My girl did not seem to pick it up, which might be a good thing. I might test again in a public place, with strangers, just to see if I get effects like the legend says. The sweet smell does not really evolve during the next hours, except for a subtle sandalwood finale after like 6 hours. If you get past the horrible citrus b*tchslap at the beginning, what you see is what you get with this fragrance. The scent covers neroli ok, which is a good thing, because if it didn’t, you’d end up smelling like an orange Creamsicle for sure.

I would not recommend this fragrance for teen boys as they’re bound to get beat up in school by the other guys at 4 o’clock once the candy smell is detected on them and the word spreads out. I fail to see how a mature guy can get away with it too. Altough the beat up seems less likely at that age… some remote behind-your-back ridicule is possible though.

Maybe the sugar scent can trigger something in girls, this will have to be checked, maybe they’ll just want to eat you alive, there MUST be something to the legend. I’ll keep an open mind and retest.

If I test again, I might want to try it with MX297. I would never ever wear this at work or for anything formal. Even though you’re wearing a suit, you’ll come through as Bozo the Clown.

If you are an entertainer, if you own a pastry boutique or you are working with children, I suppose this could be a kick-ass scent. Just don’t expect anyone to call you “sir” wearing this.

IO X 2 to neck

Location: Work

First time I attempt a double dose of solo IO. With what’s happening at work, I kinda needed a social boost. I did not notice much difference though, because I am not feeling that good, and mones are no magical potions, I think this permeates around me… The only torrent of speech I noticed was the drafter, he was blablablabla with me, but it was not interesting in the least. The bosses’ yes-man was also very talkative today with me, but not the kind of attention I was looking for. I will try some other combination tomorrow to try and pick me up.

I hope tomorrow goes well Conjurator. Sorry I haven’t been on as much, getting slammed on my end with work. We may face the same situation here at the end of the fiscal year. Every day its like interviewing for the job you already have, while keeping a keen resume for the job you know you would want.

a bit of faith and fun…that’ll definitely help.

So sweet of you Lillian.

PRODUCTS:
IG X2 to neck
Hedione (pure) X 3 dabs behind neck and jaw lines
Encre Noire (cover scent) X 2 dabs, one on each side of neck

Location: Work

This is my first attempt at using a cover scent at work. My social contacts were somewhat limited however. I smelled my own sillage like a few days back, altough I put one less dab. I know I had a sillage, but I did not notice any clear reaction. I still like that smell on me however.

I felt much better than yesterday, more energy, more focused. I had a conversation with male coworker F to whom I offered my help often during the last few months because they keep giving him a million things to do at once, he just could not believe they are letting me go. He described the bosses’ yes-man as a clown and a parody, adding that there’s no way in hell that scumbag can make the department work. I kinda agree. He told me himself (F) might just be the next in their list to go, because these guys never stop.

This seems to be a pattern, getting rid of good elements and keeping the suckers and brown-nosers. I mean, I’ve seen often brown-nosers licking bosses, but in this place, it seems to go the other way around also… and hard! Twilight zone anyone?

I also told an aging technician with whom I have travelled a thousand times on different jobs, he went: “Dirty bastards, why in the world would they do that!”. Nobody understands. I feel much better talking about it now though. I just love the combination of IG and Encre, the gentleman vibe plus the prince of darkness tone feels like empowerment to me. IG makes me rock solid, as always. Probably a good product to use in these dark times.

Location: Work and home

Today’s mix help make me feel good and confident all day. I think TAC eases the mind and IG gives me solidity. I was even spouting jokes about the bosses’ yes-man to male coworker F, very creative ones too :slight_smile:.

Another department of the company sent me on a field mission next week. I don’t know what they are up to but hey, I’ll do it. Today I talked to the guy I would’nt mind having as a boss and strongly implied to him I wouldn’t mind moving to his department. Lets see where it leads (A314, where are you??)

I am definitely becoming crazy for Encre Noire.

I seen 37 in stock of A314 right now as I am posting this if you are interested good luck and hope you get one.

Thanks friend. I ordered some like 4 days ago, but I am still waiting for shipping :wink:.

PRODUCTS;
TUTH X 1 1/2 sprays to chest (11h00 AM)
Ammo (2X strength) X 1 behind neck (11h00 AM)
S.A. Jasmine X 4 cm behind sideburns (11h00 AM)
Eau des Baux by L’Occitane en Provence (cover scent) X 3 dabs, one on each side of neck and one on wrist (11h00 AM)

Location: Preschool activity (please read on before throwing stones)

I’ll first start with a short review of a new cologne I was testing, then I’ll tell you more about my mones day.

That new cologne I am testing is called “Eau des Baux” by l’Occitane en Provence. The name is french for “Water of Baux”, Baux refer to the Baux-de-Provence, a region in southern France. The bottle looks like a cheap Avon product. But don’t be fooled. Not that it’s expensive, it’s relatively cheap in terms of price, but it’s purposedly made of all natural ingredients, not synthetic. I must admit I tried it because I read that it was a cheaper alternative to Tom Ford’s “Tobacco Vanille” which, like we say where I’m from, will cost you the “skin of your butt” (loose translation). At first application, the first thing you get is a loud bang of spices (cardamom, nutmeg) and table pepper. This attack lasts until drydown with an addition of woody incense. Once dry, it smells lightly like cypress or cedar with a stronger vanilla scent. This a smoke-kind of vanilla, not your grandma’s powder room kind of vanilla. After 4 hours, I still get vanilla, but the smokiness starts to wane. After 7 hours, vanilla only, more sugary, but not ridiculously sugary like Joop, but less manly all of a sudden, though. After 10 hours, nothing left. I would rate this product as unisex, easily, there is a manly take on the vanilla with the top notes of spice as long as the smokiness is there. I wouldn’t bathe myself in it before seeing girls, but a few drops applied with precision can be interesting. I will probably try and layer it over Encre Noire in a further test. For the cover scent aspect, I added TUTH and Ammo to my body. The TUTH smells heavily like pepper to me, so Eau des Baux is just too mild to cover it. I will have to try it Eau des Baux again with other mones. And I will have to try other cover scents with TUTH, because it just needs something stronger. And my TUTH was applied to the chest, imagine if I’d put it in the neck… As for the Tobacco Vanille comparison, that one is on my list too, so I’ll wait until later to give a feedback on this point, but I am a skeptic. Please note that the scent was evaluated only on my wrist, because I couldn’t feel any ambiant smell on me because of the mones. I suppose the all-around sillage of Eau des Baux must have been pretty low for the general public on this test.

If it was music, Eau des Baux would be “You keep me hanging on” by Vanilla Fudge (of course). Youtube link: youtube.com/watch?v=YFabNBveHOk

Now for the mones story.

I went to a preschool parent-child activity with my son. There were like fifteen kids with parents (either mother or father). I figured there might be nice women there, and I’m in need of a boost these days, so I figured I tried somewhat strong mones even if there were children also.

A woman in her 40’s, a blonde, that was responsible for the workshop took turns talking to each children for a minute, then saying hello to his/her parent. After she would pass to the next child. In my case, she broke the protocol, she talked to me first and shook my hand before talking to my kid. She did not touch any other parent in any way. The contact was formal, but the breach of protocol was clear and she returned to her regular routine for the next kid: kid, then parent, no touching.

At one time, we got to sit down on individual mats with our kid, in a circle. Next to me, there was a red head women, maybe 32, at first she was sitting normally, amerindian style, but at one point, she shifted to a cleopatra-like position, kind of spooning her kid, the woman’s butt was sticking right toward me and she was actually quite close. She was not particularily cute for a red head (and I have extreme prejudice in favor of red heads, believe me) but it lit up the afternoon anyway. I had to remain discreet though, any move would have been highly unappropriate in this setting. Potential hit, I mean, let’s be honest, maybe the poor girl was tired…

There was another mom, an atheltic blonde in sportswear, maybe 28, she was on a mat like at 1 o’clock (military position) from me. I had a chance to be close to her during a free game activity at the beginning of the event. She was now sitting with one leg flexed and resting on the ground and the second leg, only her foot was touching the mat, the corresponding butt cheek was like an inch above the mat (I hope this makes sense, it is hard to describe intelligibly and I would feel stupid drawing it). At one point, she slowly caressed her butt cheek over her yoga pant like four or five times from behind, she gave me a look, I couldn’t help but give a quick look at her butt with admirative eyes, she did not seem to hate it. Once more, the setting was akward. Clear hit however. And I’ll say she was out of my league in terms of beauty.

The last activity involved one of those playtime parachute that you move up and down real fast. At that point, the mom next to me was a blonde girl, 6/10, with an impassive wooden face, but a nice little body, maybe 20 at the most, a very young mom. Once the 'chute started moving, you can be sure that I was diffusing at a maximum. Her breathing became loud, deep and fast and that was not from physical exhaustion. At the end of the activity, she reached for something in her purse that was on the ground next to me, giving me a nice butt shot. She was wearing one of those low waist pants with a pink G and she had a nice butterfly tattoo on lower back. When she got back up with the item, she was all smile for the first time of the day. Hit.

In my case, I seem to be able to pull it off wearing TUTH in almost any setting, which is a good thing. I seem to be able to avoid getting carried away with it too. No effect on kids whatsoever, which is great news too.

Conjurator you devil!!! Great post and glad you had a lifting event lol…however inappropriate at times. :smiley::smiley::wink::smiley:
I do think you handled yourself very well. You have got sand!! At least you know you can manage TUTH at an event like that and it’s quite important to not only know yourself but the effects the mones have on you in order to be able to offset it’s effects.

Good stuff!!! I am going to look into the colognes as well, not necessarily for myself…I simply adore wonderful smelling things. I’d even stand in a bakery that extra few seconds to enjoy the smell of freshly backed cakes.

PRODUCTS:
IS (2X Strength) X 1 to hair and X1 to back of neck
L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme (Miyake) (cover scent) X 3 dabs, one on each side of neck and wrist

Location: Home

I have been testing yet another cologne today. It is called L’Eau d’Issey pour Homme by Miyake. The name is french for ‘Water of Issey’, but also, it’s also a pun, the name sounds like Odyssee which is french for Odyssey. This is one of those fragrances that, I believe, has historically been known to have contained hedione, altough I am quite certain that nowadays it’s not the case anymore. The bottle looks like a taller version of a free hotel amenity bottle of shampoo, an upper-end one, but still, a free amenity. It is not the kind of thing I would like anyone to see on my dresser.

After application, the fragrance smells of strong citrus, sour, almost lemon/lime/kumquat-like, but synthetic as heck. It reminds me of the classic Lysol spray air freshener from the 80’s that smelled horrible and strong. It smells also like an orange commercial toilet bowl desinfectant that they use at work. I did not enjoy that attack at all. After drydown, the trouble is there is nothing new to be found. Still some very distinct citrus and perhaps a hint of the fabric of a cigarette smoker’s couch. After 2 hours, a floral scent kicks in, much too feminine for my taste, I’d say lily… After 5 hours, I get faint musk and very faint vetiver, the citrus and flowers have toned down a lot, but the overall diffusion is low at that point, so why not get a real musk and vetiver product instead of this one. I see this as an overhyped product, I prefer to stick with neroli 6%, at least it is discreet and it’s ok on the manly side. I prefer applying pure hedione directly on my skin and use an interesting fragrance to complement it. I doubt I will ever use this again. The sillage is moderate as I can smell it on myself without sniffing my wrist and the quantity I have applied was small. Will I wear it again, the real question is: do I want to smell like a freshly-cleaned restroom when I move around? I doubt it. Hard.

Nothing special happened mone-wise today since I was alone with the kids.

The cover effect of this fragrance for neroli 6% must be ok, but yet, who would want to hide a discreet citrus smell with an in-your-face citrus bang?

I was on a field job offering training to a contractor. I wore lots of mones today. I got a bit carried away after a certain girl I was not expecting was spotted on site (lol).

The general contractor was accompanied by one of his female employees, a maybe 25 auburn, slim and athletic looking girl. She was talking to me a lot. That’s when I decided to go add the TUTH to myself, just for kicks. After all, I know that my biochemistry allows me to get away with TUTH in any setting. She was all smile with shiny eyes for most of the day. She helped the guys that were working on site and I got a few butt shots from her. It was in open air, but there was definitely an effect. Near the end of the day, I ended up inside a shed with her and her boss to perform final tasks. It was half and half enclosed space and open air, this seems to have increased the effects on her. She was moving her weight from one leg to the other constantly. She also was sniffling a lot, like she had a cold, but she had no symptoms previously in the day. That’s not the first time I get this effect on girls with TUTH, so she was definitely picking the substance up. At one point she moved in front of me to hold her flashlight so her boss could install the damn thing (there was no electricity there). She moved directly in front of me, l was like six inches behind her hair. She was wearing a nice fruity perfume. I could hear her deep and slow breathing. Nice.

A female colleague I don’t see that often, she’s 53, stopped on the site to do her “PR” bit with the contractor. She was very talkative with me, made lots of compliments on the current job I was attending to and she was very touchy with my arm. This never happened with her before.

There was one of the male workers which I had seen before on another job and I remember him speaking only english (I live in a place where french is predominant). He’s the grumpy borderline redneck type. This time he approached me and attempted conversation in french with me, not work oriented stuff, just light chit-chat. He was struggling, but the effort was very much appreciated and I congrat’ed him. I then switched to english with him when he became lost for words but it was like he just had to continue talking. I spent a great day with the guy, he was very helpful. I definitely see an IO effect here since the guy was not acting like that last time I seen him, and the previous time it was a three-days job and the most I had got from him on that occasion was “Grumphhhh, Arf or Ok”.

TUTH did not give any negative vibe to the males presents, and we’re talking testosterone-filled construction workers. IG worked fine, they followed all my instructions with attention. At the end of the day, all the guys and the lady gave me a warm goodbye and thanks.

(Spoiler alert: this is an authentic venting post, sadly, no mones testing results are contained therein)

It doesn’t happen often, me being the calm and open type, but I feel this time that venting is required and I decided that the best place to get it out is in my own journal by any means.

There has been a post lately giving absolute judgement about what can or cannot be used in certains circumstances. I understand there are some products that ‘should not’ be used by everybody in all circumstance (as opposed to ‘can not’). I understand also there are some products that preferably should be used, by most people, “just as the doctor ordered”.

I have been testing mones for months now and I am starting to know quite much about the caracteristics and effects of each product, both on me and on others (males or females). I have a good knowledge, for my own biochemistry, of what works, or not, in any particular setting. This resulted from analysis through empirical testing.

Following the instructions on the label is a good idea, but I see it as a blue chip, like driving at 90 km/h in the right lane, you’ll get there, safe, but man, why did you buy that Ferrari? Let me give you an example, Aspirn was invented as a pain killer. Later on, they discovered that it could prevent CVA’s. Red wine has been invented to make you drunk, and eventually someone discovered it’s good for the cardiovascular health to drink some every day. Ask Javx about using bleach instead of chlorine in your swimming pool and they’ll send you running to the nut house in a hurry, but still, it’s the same hypochlorite at an adequate concentration for a fraction of the price! Coc*-Cola started off as a cocaine-based medecine to stone people up, then it became a cold beverage to make you fat, but you can actually clean rust stains off a sink using it! Ask Coc*-Cola customer service about the last usage and they’ll call you a cuckoo. Of course, because it’s not on the label!

A free adult has two choices, both of which I will not pass any judgments upon: 1- safely stick to the label or 2- venture forth with an open mind. You can stay forever at one spray of everything if that’s where you feel comfortable or you can increase the number of sprays, or perform mixes, or even dare sometimes to go for excessive doses to test the limits, however it’s important to keep a clear head in the process and to do it responsibly. Think of it as the Star Trek intro: you can either either wave goodbye to the people leaving in the ship… or opt to boldly go there yourself.

This is the same thing with products, or with mixes. Who’s to say what’s ok and what’s not? Whatever does that mean anyway?

I read some fellow users’ posts in this forum about exotic mixes which I don’t know if I would ever dare try, but I am always curious to read those post and happy to see that someone both had the imagination and the balls to try that out. It’s good to see also that he/she was altruistic enough to share his/her experience, either good or bad, with the community. And from this can stem, inside other users’ heads, other mix ideas or different ratios suggestions for the same mix…

This forum is used as a cordial exchange channel, not to pass moral judgments on what people choose to do or not to do with their experiments.

I read a post recently that pointed the use of TUTH in a work setting as a blatant misuse, and something that needs to be adressed (whatever that means (rolling eyes), frankly, I’m still waiting for the F.Bee.Hi to come at the door). For Chrys(ler) sake, can we keep an open mind here? There’s much more to TUTH than sex signals or walking with your trousers down, for my own biochemistry, at least. And sadly, mine is the only biochemistry I can talk about with B’s’ing. If it’s not the case for other people’s biochemistries, they are free to follow the label, period.

On the other hand, the TUTH label says to never exceed 5 sprays. I don’t know if I’ll ever try that much sprays of TUTH. But if I ever do, it won’t be in the workplace. When I use TUTH alone, it’s never for the workplace either. When I do use small doses of TUTH in work settings, it is always buffered or softened down by other products to make it less raw sexual. There is some potency and diversity to this product I tell you.

Those three chinese biscuit messages pretty much sum up my point of view:

  • If necessity is the mother of invention, curiosity is the mother of progress.
  • If someone jumps off a cliff, you don’t have to hop along.
  • He who first said the earth rotates along an axis was once deemed as heretic.

Feeling much better now.

Peace out to everyone and carry on with the great reports and constructive comments y’all :slight_smile:. This community is priceless.

Very nice and I agree about the whole thing with TUTH. TBH I can see both sides but sometimes it does pay to try something differant.

I find I can wear 2.5 MCG out anywhere just fine and even 5.0 MCG works great but I have to buffer very lightly with like P96 even around 10 MCG. Works great on women but at 5 MCG with no buffer guys seemed confused and lightly irritated.

With just women I have worn as high as 10 MCG with no issues or buffers around 28 and up. I haven’t had a chance to test on much younger than 28

This is just what works for me. I am 35 white and in much better shape than average.

I will write in my journal about it when I get caught up on my reports.

Lil laughingly looks around the room to see who “took a piss” in Conjurator’s pheromones! (I joke, I joke)

I do however support Conjurator’s expression here. Echoing Justin on the female side of the coin. I wore TUTH before I understood it was preferred for bedroom and combined it with a few things with great results…and some quite funny ones.

Our body chemistries are all different so…this is a research site… It’s all research to me…well it’s all fun, and should be. Mones don’t make people unable to control their faculties. I think at the very worst you may irritate someone. At the best I say you gain the interest of someone and prompt more tests, tries, mones and cherries to you!

PRODUCTS:
IS (2X strength) X 2 to neck
La Nuit de l’Homme by YSL (Cover scent)

Location: Home

I have tested yet another cologne, it’s called La Nuit de l’Homme by Yves Saint-Laurent. The name is french for ‘Night of Man’. The shape of the bottle ressembles more like an unisex fragrance than a man fragrance, but I’ve seen more ridiculous, so it’s nothing you’d actually need to hide. Upon application, I get a smoke scent, like from a campfire, and a subtle spice note I can’t identifiy for sure, it’s too weak. At drydown, the vetiver comes through with a background of lavender and evergreens. A hint of vanilla is perceptible after 30 minutes. Even with the floral and vanilla tone, I’ll rate the scent as manly. The vanilla tone eventually dies down leaving a trail of vetiver after 4 hours. After twelve hours, there is still a spicy vetiver smell.

The sillage is reasonable but the fragrance is not long lasting, you have to stick your nose to your wrist to perceive something after 6 hours. As for covering scent, it’s ok for neroli, since neroli dies down pretty quick. I’m not sure it would be an adequate cover for Ammo though… after a few hours, at least. I will definitely use this again, altough it might be a bit too much mainstream for my own taste, it is a nice fragrance.

Nothing special was observed with mones since I was home alone on that day.

Hospital and work

A stupid mishap happened to me this morning. I was forced to go the hospital instead of heading to work. I live in a place where you usually have the time to grow a long white beard before seeing a doctor at the emergency room. I came in at 7h45, and waited like 15 minutes to see the dispatch nurse.

The dispatch nurse is the one basically evaluating your case, assigning you a priority and pretty much deciding for your destiny in this day. The nurse was a 24-something superb redhead (fake) but still, very pretty girl with a nice body. She came closer to me to take my vital signs. I made sure to shake my shirt and diffuse in her face. She asked me a few questions and then went: “You know what, it might sound stupid, but I prefer not to send you back to the waiting room in case the situation worsens”. I was in a non-life threathening situation, but she judged that it could become life-threathening. Who was I to argue with a nice lady?

She enabled me to go straight to the emergency room which almost never happens unless you’re coughing blood or are in convulsions. She took me to an hospital bed (a very confortable one too) and said she prefered to have me close at hand (wink wink). She invited me to remove my shirt and put on an hospital top. I thanked her warmly, all smile. She went back to her duties.

After 5 minutes, the nurse on duty came to see me, she was a real redhead, maybe 45, chubby, not really my type, but she was being very nice with me. She said she was giving me the “VIP bracelet”, probably a joke. She told me I would see the doctor pretty soon. In this country? Wtf. During the wait, I got to see the first young lady come and go half a dozen times, she was feeding files to the nurses. She eyed me at each pass. Me too, of course, she looked glorious. At one point, I actually winked at her. She laughed and went on her way.

In twenty minutes’ time, the nurse transferred me to the actual ER intervention room. The female doctor was a very nice looking woman and very atheltic, maybe 28. Chestnut and auburn hair. Doctors are usually pretty cold and business-oriented, but she was very compassionate, she told me all the story about how the same thing happened to her when she was a young girl and so on. Nostlagia almost brought liquid in her eyes. Strange, but cool. She was talking with an agreeable soft voice. She described me the intervention (not a cool one). The red nurse was there.

Lo and behold, the first young lady appeared in the door outside the room and came in. She either wanted to see me again or was curious to see what the intervention would be, but she was all smile again, mmmm. The doctor layed the bed flat and proceeded with the anesthetics, I couldn’t help but smile and laugh, me being surrounded by two hot girls. I was even spouting jokes they found funny. The doctor proceeded with the intervention which lasted maybe ten seconds (thanks god, only ten seconds) and I remained solid… and I was still joking after that. I looked at the youngest one and told her: “now it’s your turn”? She let out a high pitched schoolgirl laugh and excused herself back to duty. The mature nurse sent me back to my bed and I receive my walk-out paper five minutes after that. All in all, I had been not more than an hour in the place. A record never before seen in my whole life. Average waiting time is usually 6 to 12 hours just to see the doctor.

I must specify the choice of mones was made for work in the morning. My eventual presence in an hospital was unexpected, but thank god for this mix. It worked wonders.

I came out so early, I could actually go to work after. At work, nothing special happened. I had very few human contacts.

Good grief, my order finally left Los Angeles!!! Yipee! Can’t wait.
