Neighbours from Hell!

Our flat block can be quite noisy, but we haven't had any problems, except for the man upstairs, until 2 months ago. It seems a bunch of people, I assume they are young, moved in the flat block next door. I have never seen them but I can hear them through my bedroom wall. They seem to have parties at home, all the time. On a Sunday night. On a Monday night. On a Thursday morning. They often come home around 3am and continue the party till the next day.

Last night I was woken up at 04:15am. Now I haven't been in the best of moods lately, especially since I had just finished day 11 of 18 in this hellish work marathon. I wake up to the sound of music blaring, what sounds like people jumping up and down and hideous singing. Deep breath.

Seeing I have no idea where their flat actually is, as it's in another block, I do they only thing that I can. I bang on the wall with an umbrella for a good 60 seconds. I have become that person! The person who bangs on the wall. Sigh.

Today I am grumpy. Very. Grumpy. And it's day 12. Sigh.

Day 9 of 18

While The Boyf is in India, I decided that I would work as much as I could to earn a few pounds to take back home (as I have saved fuck all NOTHING since being here for nearly 16 months). I have overextended myself slightly and committed to do 18 days in a row. Including Saturdays. And Sundays. Basically 18 days with no break. None. At. All.

Today is Day 9 and whilst I should be rejoicing in being almost halfway, I want to slit my wrists and paint my suicide note on the wall with my own blood. Yes, it's that bad! I hate every patient I see. I loathe their minor complaints and I don't fucking give a shit. Not today. Not tomorrow. And not for the next 9 days.

Freaky Patients

Thought I'd do a recap of some of this week's pearler patients.

I started the week off being very upbeat and excited about being back at work.

LMM:  Hello, I am Little Miss Medic. How can I help you today?

Patient 1: Well...I...um...did a stupid thing...and I don't want my wife to know.....and.....um...I wanna test for...um....STDs.

LMM:  OK, when did you last have unprotected sex?

Patient 1: On Monday with.....um.....a prostitute.....in Thailand.......in a bar......and then on.....Tuesday.....with a Ladyboy.
(Ok the ladyboy thing isn't true, but makes for a nice twist.)

                                  ---------------------------------------------------------------------

LMM:  Hello, I am Little Miss Medic. How can I help you today?

Patient 2:  So yeah, I was in like, um, Soho and had a bit of a rag and I wanna get tested. (Imagine the American accent)

LMM: What is a rag? And what would you like to test for? We offer a range of tests......HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Herpes, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Syphillis, HPV.

Patient 2: Yeah, I'll do the whole lot I guess.

                                  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

LMM:  Hello, I am Little Miss Medic. How can I help you today?

Patient 3:  I would like to test for HIV.

LMM:  OK. I just need to drop of blood to do the test. I'm going to prick your finger with this needle.

Patient 3:  Is that a clean needle?

LMM:  Yes

Patient 3: Can you open another one so I can make sure its new?

LMM:  Sure.

Patient 3:  Is that a new needle?

LMM: Yes, I just opened it in front of you.

Patient 3: Ok ok. Can you just open one more? So I'm sure......

LMM: Hello, I am Little Miss Medic. How can I help you today?


Patient 4:  I have a sore foreskin.

Grumpy Bum

I've been working this week in a hospital that isn't exactly close. I've had to commute on public transport for 5 hours each day. This is why I haven't been posting anything and why I look and feel like this...........

Are you grumpy this week?
