(no subject)

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:
