Random things said to me by patients this week...
1. Good girls get all the praise, bad girls get all the fun
2. Since my wife and I split up, I haven't had an erection (why? why are you telling me this?)
3. (Apropos of absolutely nothing) I'm not queer, you know (sadly, not even in relation to the guy in 2).
I'm just... why do people feel the need to tell me this stuff? Erection guy wasn't even the worst of all of them since I started work at the hospital. I swear, I give out some kind of signal to people who want to over-share - it's been the same since I started working in Boots the Chemist when I was 16, when old men used to come and tell me about their marital problems.
Seriously - if I'm going to be listening to this stuff, I want a counsellor's wages, please. And for the nurse I have a crush on to come back on the ward - I might actually be able to say something to her this time, instead of getting all tongue tied and stupid (which is completely not like me, in the real world, it only ever happens around people I like)
In other news - it's too hot! I'm not a hot weather girl!
Also, went to aqua fit today and now all my muscles ache. Ow. Also also, since I got my hair cut short and am the only girl not stick thin and wearing a short skirt and flip flops (in other words, I look like people think a gay woman looks) all the girls in the changing room are giving me odd looks. I want a sign that says, I can't ogle you in the shower - I shower without my glasses on, I can barely *see* you in the shower (I see the looks before going into the shower, though I assume that was obvious)
And I have essay reading to do, and there is no ice cream in my house and... yeah, sucks to be me *rolls eyes at self*
