You begin to realise swiftly the people who genuinly care about you are, when you are ill.
After suffering a five hour journey back to Manchester with a pleb who kept coughing in my face, I went down. Dramatic exclamations like "Im dying! split my CD's between yourselves." are uttered to which my friends and family roll their eyes and snap "Shut up and drink the bloody medicine."
9.00am I ring in sick my Manager just replies "Well if your off sick more than three days you need to bring a sick note or else you don't get paid, you Need to bring it in." Evil Witch.
9.30am I can barely get out of bed, but manage to make myself presentable.
9.45am I stumble like a drunkard to the nearest doctors, become a 'temporary' patient.
10.00am Asma and I are falling about laughing like rejects at random things
10.30am Asma has a cigarette break
11.00am This is taking the piss; I ask the Receptionist how long? she says because i'm not registered I have to wait in the walk in queue.
11:30am Asma exclaims loudly "This is taking the mick, the NHS is a let down! is this what my tax money goes towards? I want my money back. Thats $26 I pay every month" much to everyone's amusement. The Receptionist frowns and I swear I get knocked back a few places.
12.00 I begin wondering if its not too late to call manager and work my shift instead. No I've waited this long and I refuse to leave thus Challenge #2 U.R.T.I is born.
12:30 "Taz Akhtar please make your way to Room 15" I shoot up shouting "Hallelujah!" running down the corridors before they change their mind.
12:45 "So you just wanted a sick note?" Says the mildly irratating Dr. Ngan. No shit Sherlock, I just waited hours to see your sunny features (irony: he has a face like a cafish). He starts a mock examination, which is so half hearted Asma and I start giggling when he starts using his stethascope to listen to my back.
1.00pm "I'm sure he made that last bit up, why does he need to listen to your spine?" I'm so happy I got the pictured sick note I want to frame it, I don't care if he listened to my Tailbone I still achieved what I set out to get.
Can't wait to show it off on Saturday now.
