Warning: superstar bitch whinge to follow…

Have decided to write off today as Capital Fucked Day.

It all started yesterday when I went to the Ear and Eye Hospital. The Opthamologist dude was the biggest condescending prick, contradicting my “I have a cold sore in my eye” with “It’s probably not a cold sore” (in that tone) only because he apparently couldn’t see the lesions and treated me like I was a complete idiot. Hello! That’s the point, Mr. I Know Everything – there are no lesions yet, that’s the best (nay, only) time to hit it up with your antivirals.

Alas, he wouldn’t give me anything for my phantom lesions, so lo and behold I wake up this morning with the most gruesome pustules you’ve ever seen lining my eyelid. Thankfully they haven’t gone onto my eye yet, but they really are gross and itch painfully everytime I blink.

Thus spending all day in front of computer screen was not going to be good, but I had a zillion things to do. Of course, my laptop’s c:drive decided that today would be a lovely day to to die in the arse and I had to wait for 3 hours for the dude to come fix it. I didn’t have any breaks through the day, and got the go ahead from the Boss to leave at 4pm cos my eye was hurting like a muthafucker.

I had an important project that needed to be done by C.O.B. that I thought I’d be able to polish off by 4, but had to wait to get in some work from someone else, so at 5.30 I was still plugging away at the niggling & endless minutiae. At 5.30, I lost Plot and started sniffling (cough, crying) with frustration & tiredness. [disclaimer: It’s a sad truth that when you’re pregnant, you don’t have the same control over your emotions as before, when you were a “normal” person]. Boss then told me to go home as she didn’t want me being a Martyr (ouch!), but I insisted on seeing the bloody thing to the end, tears or no tears.

The only bright light was a nice person on the tram who offered me her seat. Once I was two stops away from home. Ah well, is thought that counts.

  1. There is some amazing news with regards to cold sores. Professor Bloom of Florida University has discovered a novel way to inhibit the virus. Check it out:

  2. Other than that the day went swimmingly? Sorry you had a bad day but glad you could share. Hey, will it make you feel better if the cold sores do develop and you can rub it in the face of Dr Con Descending?

  3. A fine, fine idea hamster! Alas it would be marred slightly by the fact that I’d have to wait in the hospital waiting room for 2 hours.

    And thanks NJ for the scoop. V. interesting reading!

  4. Hamster, eh? You’ve been talking to Nick them.

    Another 2 hr wait would let the emotion build up quite nicely for you to expolode in his face, I think. Coupled with being pregnant it would be an explosive mixture.
