So I told everyone on Y!M I was going to bed, and I totally was going into that there bed, but I can't sleep. There is acid crashing through my body, and not the awesome raaaaage kind. Just the "Hey, my body's failing" kind. I have gastritis. Again. I caught it from those dirty, dirty patients who are on the floor below me and who have an obsession with wandering about and getting in the confined space of the lifts to cough all over hapless admin staff. Again. I hate being sick all the time and being refused time off to do things like hurl eleven times in one night (yes, I counted) and vomit up blood. I feel better now, but the acid still sucks. I can't eat curry, and curry is life. :(

As a result of pained ersatz sleep, I was late for work this morning - as, er, usual. Anyway, really late. I ran to the lifts, all bleary-eyed, tired and vomity. And this old patient Who Probably Has Gastritis is all, "Oh, don't use the big lifts. Here, use this lift."

I was all, "Um, no. This lift is fine, thanks. Also, it's nearly here and it's not stuck on the ninth floor."

"But look!" he said, "This lift is coming down now!"

"Oh, right," I said, and turned away.

"Look, come over here--"

"Excuse me?"

"Come over here and get this lift!"

"...No?"

I looked at the Big Lift That they Sometimes Carry Coffins Down In, and the Small Lift That Would Make Me Late. I got into the coffin lift. "You can't go in there!" insisted the patient, "The other one is--" I shut the door, and made my way up.

What the hell. I don't go around being all, "Bitches! Stop smoking in the hospital!" or "Move faster! It's my lunch hour!" Why are people so obsessed with telling you what you can and can't do? Unless you're littering or poking the eyes out of fox cubs, I don't care. It's none of my business. And which lift I choose to get in when I'm late and harassed is none of yours, Mr. Asshat.

STOP!

~~HAMMER~~ MEME TIME

In meme news, aren't userpics special and unique snowflakes? Why, they're 100 x 100 works of art! They should be hung in an online Louvre. This online Louvre is not, incidentally, www.museedulouvre.fr but rather Livejournal. In the spirit of great mini works of art that say 'O RLY', 99% of them featuring Harry Potter, please to try this meme:

Taken from zhonghua2000, but now with the letter 'u':

Reply to this post, and I will tell you my favourite icon of yours. Then post this to your own journal using your own favourite icon.*

*If you have that tiresome pants-stretching icon, why are you on my Friends list?

OK, I'll just go with the last part and tell you I like your Quebec icon. It's very pretty and I've never seen you use it.

At the Museum our front-of-house lift is broken (yeah we only have one) and we're still running the big popular school holiday program, so I spent most of my shift yesterday shepherding people through to the back-of-house industrial lift that you could totally fit like ten coffins and a dinosaur in. It costs a bazillion dollars to run. I dunno why people like telling you what to do, though. Perhaps you have a submissive face. Now pick your favourite icon of mine, bitch!

shounghuau2000 would like you to pick out your favoUrite of hers pleaze.

pants-stretching icon?

When Chris worked in hospitals, he was ALWAYS sick. I guess it goes with the job. =/

And I love the 'My Life Iz Ruined' icon'. And don't tell me it's not Mon Louis. ;}

GET OUT OF THAT PLACE NOOOW. i think you will go insane before long.

You'll have to sit down on a free day and work out how you can improve your health, stamina, resistance. Healthier food + vitamins? Less booze? Try to get more of a regular sleeping pattern? Less coffee?...
It's an offer you'll have to make to feel less crap. Vomiting 11 times, and blood for that matter is *NOT* okay! You might want to look into that aswell - Was the blood from a puke-raw throat, or from the inside? The latter would not be good at all and would be the fanfare for King Ulcer.

Come and be my secretary at my hospital! >:)

Also, pick me! PICK ME!

I couldn't sleep either so I'm tired out in sympathy. I hope you're feeling much, much better soon. x

Do you like my new day-glo icons? ;)

I like your O Rly? icon and your BB toast icon. :D
