I've come back from the doctor's.
I was in trouble for missing an appointment with the nurse that they didn't tell me about.
So they re-arranged it. I re-arranged it again 'cos I had a streaming head cold.
They have a new "patient self-checking in system" involving a touch-screen panel on the wall above a table. An old boy on sticks was helping a bloke in a wheelchair by pressing the buttons for him because they were too high to reach even if the table had not been in the way.
"Bloody stupid system" said the old boy on sticks to me as I waited while they struggled. "Not it's not" says I. "I think it is a very efficient way of spreading 'flu and heaven only knows what other diseases, having a touch screen panel in a doctor's waiting room."
His expression of disgust was priceless. The screen is already slimy.
So I self-check in and wait for ages and then go in to see the nurse to be told: "You need the cardiovascular clinic. I do those on Tuesday mornings."
So now I have to go back to see the same nurse next Tuesday because Tuesdays is the cardiovascular clinic. To-day we have naming of parts.
I went into Tesco's to buy a Scotch egg as compensation and 'cos I was hungry.
What do they put in the minced pork in Scotch eggs to make them as bad as they are? Presumably it is minced skin, brains, eyeballs and arse.
Still, I sign on this afternoon. So that will cheer me up. Not.
