Is there a doctor in the house?

One would hope given that I've just been to the doctor.

Now I'm dosed up with antibiotics and an anti-heartburn medication, it's all going to be good.

I've been sitting on a chest pain for quite a while, which is utterly stupid. When he asked the heartburn question, my first response was "Terrific! Much better than anything my imagination was coming up with!" Which made him laugh. I might have a gastroscopy in my future, but at least it isn't something worse.

I could go the run around about how and why I procrastinated about it. In fact I will. I thought it was just stress. One of the stressors went away and it eased, so points to me on self-diagnosis. Now I could get on with all the other things I have (and want) to do. I still have a pile of documents to write! I patted myself on the back and then out of the blue back was that uncomfortable feeling. So much for my diagnostic skills.

Spent yesterday training a new person, which was, as always, a hoot. I love teaching! I also love finding out that I have access to something in our computer system that I thought was limited to special peoples! (I'm not the only one - it seems to be for anyone at my level). (Useful, nevertheless.)

Points to my trainee for finding my excitement on that one amusing. I get excited by weather, so it's not much of a stretch.

Want a pithy (although occasionally a bit negative) T-shirt? Try Despairwear (despair.com). Nice, I say.

A little more invention and I'll make my own, just for the fun of it. My personal favourite from Despair is: "Tradition. Just because you've always done it that way doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid."

Since I can't be bothered getting my hair streaked blue, T-shirts will have to do. I will probably talk myself into it one of these days. The next time I have a fat pay-packet, probably.

Don't worry, I'm right behind you.

Using you as a shield.
