My urge to blog is half dead.


---


So, this morning I went to the clinic to check on something, and I'm not big on going to doctors unless it's the dentist. I have this fear of heading to the clinic all alone. Don't ask. It's just there. Anyway, so I went and asked for a female doctor, but I got a male doctor instead. I had to go back to the reception and emphasize that I wanted a female doctor. So, I got annoyed that I wasn't given much importance the first time I asked.


In the waiting area, people kept turning to see if the number flashing on the screen changed everytime the elevator ding-dong sound rang out. You just heard the frickin' sound that tells you that the number changed! It's a prolonged beep not a ding-dong! Testahbeloun?! Everything was ten times more annoying because I was freaking out.


When it was finally my turn, I stepped in, and the doctor was... scary? She looked plastic. She had bright orange nails! And when I explained to her that I had a rash and what not, she got up to lock the door, so I could take off my shirt and show her the rash. I had images of her scraping it off with her long bright orange nails.


I think that was the very last time I go to see a doctor alone. Seriously. Annoyances and suspense multiplies and add to my nonsensical phobia. It's just not okay. I need to breathe.

Funny, mine is too. I wanted to blog about a number of things the last few days actually, but each time I'd sign in and try to get myself to put them down, there you go...an excess of I don't know what. =/

Bright orange. Long nails. Tacky.

So, what was the rash about? An allergic reaction?

Amethyst said...

manutdfanatic
Yes! I know exactly how you feel.

Very.

Stress;\

I trained in a place where it was policy not to wear make-up, nail polish or fragrances. Piercings were allowed though (only studs).

I then came over to this place where everyday is like a fashion show .....

Why am I not surprised? This just adds to you already acquired weirdness;p

Madry! Today one of the girls in class had bright orange nail polish on one hand, bright pink nail polish on the other hand, and bright turquoise nail polish on one foot.. I didn't see the other foot. Ew?
