It has really been an exhausting and depressing 2 weeks at work. After fake-smiling and talking non-stop at top speed for most part of the day, I'm so exhausted that i just want to hide in one corner and be anti-social. Somehow, the demographics of the pple i'm interacting with on a day to day, no make that 6-minute to 6-minute basis, just makes me all e more exhausted and hateful.
Plus i made the mistake of arranging for some 'extra-curricular' activities in the world of SAIL-ing after work (i was inspired by my fellow colleagues who are all veteran SAIL-ers) and it just drains the last of my patience and energy at the end of the day.
I got inspired to blog while doing flu just now, in betw giving out 2/7 mcs like nobody's business so as to avoid them coming on our precious half day tmrw! hurray for christmas eve!)
So i tot i'd write a poem for all the 'new friends' i made during my time here..
'Ode to you'
Hello! Welcome!
Stay as long as you want
A long list of questions, you say
No problem at all, I'm here to make your day
It's ok to worry abt that pimple
It's ok to care abt that scar
No your leg's not broken
No you don't have asthma
I'm sure that tummy is distressing
A sticky sensation on ur privates???!! OH how worrying
Have you tried these painkillers
Have you taken your losec?
Wow you refuse medication! That is just so heroic
Your pain's not better You want to see someone else?
Sure! one referral coming right up
Oh so you saw the specialist? Nothing wrong they say?
You want a second opinion and you came to see ME?!
Hmm i think it's spondylosis
No it's not a stroke
No it's not a heart attack
No it's not cancer
No it's not a fracture
