Patronising day...

Ok so catch up:

Birthday, most excellent, good selection of gifts especially the imported Red Sox cap. My new baby. Pub, turn out good. Muchos hugs kisses and playing of Incubus's Aqueous Transmission to kat for the card and all those that signed it. Vikki turning up and bear hugging me, most excellent. I'll see you soon dear. Subway, absinthe, £1.50, bastards.

Right Doctors twice in a week. Lump on throat is not cancer so unlucky betting folks. Is a cyst that has also blocked the salivary gland so get to have it drained soon. Me no likey needles. Also Doctors today for a chest infection which has kept me in boxers and duvets since Saturday. Now anti-biotics for 5 days so no drinking which is annoying cos I need a fucking drink, that kind of feeling.

Plus whats with everyone being condescending today. While picking up prescription the sour old open mouthed gum chewer asks if I'm in a job. (Legally) no, gives me a look. Feel like shouting that while I may not pay taxes my job far pisses over hers. Then asks age and if in full time employment. When I say no again another look. Hey I could be if I wanted to but I felt re-doing a course which I prety much aced last year would have been a waste of a year especially in a subject I had dwindling interest in. Finally asks if I'm on benefits. Again no(because I legally don't qualify for jobseekers or stuff) Now a very weird look from the lady before coughing up the oh so mighty sum of £6.50

Now obviouslly there was a memo at Lyodds pharmacy in bonnyrigg about patronising day as the pharamcist who was doing an excellent BFG impression came out to give me my prescription and asked how you pronounce my name. Upon telling him he explains that he has a friend who spells it with a DH. Oh I know the full gaelic spelling is Ruairidh and it looks a whole lot more impressive than just Ruari, but hey my parents stuck me with this pre-school bastardisation of it becasue obviouslly the 80s were that depressing, or they thought Chernobyl was gonna make everyone mutants and i wasn't going to be able to spell my own name with a fucking DH!!!

People, bah!
