daggers out

a number of things upset me today.

1) the earliest doctor's appointment i could get is for the end of next week. if i don't see a doctor before then i'm going to rip this damn cast off myself. and i'm not in a better mood for having waited half an hour for a decidedly rude and unpleasant secretary to give me a load of shit.

2) our flatmate, who got frustratingly argumentative and defensive when i told him about a couple of things that he did that bothered me.

3) lunch today left me entirely dissatisfied and disgusted. i called the complaints line to... complain... and they called me back four hours later with the following to say:
"you called to complain that the main meal was not identifiable as meat. we're going to tell you plainly that you will continue to be unable to identify the meat, as the supply is not in our hands."

4) lots of work pressure in the wrong direction.

there was some good stuff though.

1) mmf's engaged!

2) the kid wasn't whinging randomly - it turns out his elbow's been broken since thursday. that's not good news, but neither of us could stop laughing hysterically when he told me and that felt good.

3) i got a lot of work done anyway.

i need to get to bed earlier tonight, i really didn't sleep enough yesterday.
