The other day, we were supposed to change doctors coz we haven't yet since we moved in this area. There's a clinic (or surgery as they call it here) right in front of us. But "A" doesn't like it coz the clinic doesn't look posh. "A" said that means the doctor (or GP as they call it here) is not good coz she has no money (meaning not enough patients) to renovate it. But I told "A" why register to a GP who is 10 minutes away when there's someone who we can just walk-in literally.


But would "A" listen to me?

So we walked to another surgery near the town centre, but when we inquired, the receptionist said we are already out of their borough so we should register to the surgery right in front of us.

So back to square one.

Walking back I was moaning to "A" that I just wasted my precious time walking to another clinic when in the first place I could have just registered myself in that little clinic in front of our unit, but I didn't just because "A" said the surname of the doctor sounds weird and funny, and the clinic didn't look posh.

But "A" said "Well I told you to turn back and just go ahead and register but you didn't, so you're partly to be blamed".

SEE? I dont win in any argument.

We have new staff in the workplace. They're ok. They always ask me if I want a drink. And sometimes, no question asked, they'd just make me a nice hot drink. Awe! Nice eh? But sometimes I'm uncomfortable being alone with new starters. Like yesterday, I was in the kitchen warming my food in the microwave and these new staff were in there too. While waiting, coz I dont want them to think I'm ignorant and a snob, I thought of asking them some personal questions (even though they might say "I already told you that in my interview" and that'll show that I dont really listen to whatever they say about their personal lives in their interviews).
