Tweak says, "Dirt doesn't need luck!"

There were days -- like this one -- where Izzie had moments where she wasn't sure if this job was worth it. Sure, they were saving lives and helping people, but sometimes the politics and the attitudes got to be a bit too much.

Or maybe that was all just her mood. Getting stuck doing scud all day hadn't exactly been in her plans when she'd woken up this morning and while she KIND OF understood what had pissed off Bailey, Izzie wasn't sure it had all been entirely her fault. George had been there too and besides, who the hell expected a patient to lie about their symptoms?

If the woman had told the truth in the first damned place, they'd have diagnosed the syphilis much faster and saved hours of tests. And maybe she'd be in the damned OR now instead of flopping down onto the guerney next to Meredith.

"I NEED to get into a surgery, today," she said, taking a long drink of coffee as she did. "I don't even care if it's an appendectomy as long as I'm in the OR."

She glanced now at Meredith again, raising an eyebrow at Cristina as she did. "Okay. Now what?"

Meredith immediately fell silent and blew a strand of hair out of her eyes. She didn't want lunch - lunch was evil and making her ass fatter because she was pretty sure that she'd consumed the cafeteria's entire supply of chocolate pudding over the course of eighteen hours and they weren't even close to being done with their shift. "Derek's a whore. I'm saying he's a whore because he keeps looking at me. With Addison in the room, which would make it awkward except I'm trying to like her, so that totally makes me a whore too. Or whatever."

It then occurred to her that Izzie was talking about surgery and she would've been excited about that, except she was on Addison's service and she was supposed to care about the baby. Not the pregnant mommy whose brain Derek was about to be cutting into at the same time. "And don't look at me, I'm in fluffy pink vagina land with a baby who might die."

She was waiting for Cristina to roll her eyes, but at the moment, Meredith really couldn't blame her. They were surgeons. Sitting and watching sucked. They were learning and that was great, but not when learning constituted trying to think about learning and not the hot dirty fantasy sex involving a married man. That was like mentally being the other woman or something.

Cristina did roll her eyes as she listened to the whining. They were surgeons for crying out loud. Not teenagers at prom.

She pointed at Izzy with her fork, "Believing a patient? Did you learn nothing in 'They all lie' 101? Or were you too busy posing in your underwear that day?" she asked, her tone unsympathetic, "You don't deserve to cut today. Accept your punishment. And you?" she pointed now to Meredith, "McDreamy turned out to be McManwhore with a McSlut wife, don't just be the slutty mistress be the slutty mistress who's a hardcore surgeon"

She stabbed her salad with her fork and went back to eating having sorted that out.
