It's been a long day!

Good news! My tooth (or lack of) doesn't hurt any more and the gum has nearly healed! Woop! The human body is a remarkable thing.

Anyway, now I'm lying on my sofa in a bit of a food coma, having eaten some sort of Thai thing out of a plastic bag that I had to microwave. It said it was rice with lemongrass and something sauce but it just tasted of fish. Rotten fish. Honestly it was like something I'd eat when I'm out-of-my-mind-drunk at 3am in the morning in the city lol. So let's recap what happened today...


It was my second day off today - woo! (I'm at work in 7 hours time, omg. I must go to sleep soon...) so I decided that after fifteen days of waiting for my blood tests I would go down to the clinic and demand them! I got there and for once there were two polite older ladies behind the counter who I spoke to and they said my results were in but the Nurse had to give me them because of confidentiality etc. Fiiine. So I was sitting in the waiting room feeling like someone off '16 and Pregnant' and in walks somebody I know. Omg. Lord knows what kind of penis shrivelling disease he had but I bet he thinks I had something too! All I was doing was picking up my results lol! By this time I was freaking out from waiting in case something was wrong but I kept my composure (if that counts as texting my mother to tell her I'll kill myself if anything comes back bad! lol). Anyway, fifteen minutes later they asked for payment and they then inform me that they don't take card. Boooooooo. So I had to walk to the nearest bank to withdraw £20 and take it back to them. They then gave me the results in a sealed envelope and I left...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I could have jumped for joy hahahaha honestly I could tell you anything about any disease now after these two weeks. So it was good to have it in black and white and I have the green light to get ready to fly.


I went to the Doctor's to get my vaccinations sorted. I filled in several forms and waited. and waited. and waited. surrounded by sick people coughing their lungs up. Then the Nurse came out and said "Sorry, because you're going abroad for work purposes and not for a holiday we can't vaccinate you because a) your employer would have to pay for them b) we'd be liable if anything went wrong and c) we can't carry out a risk assessment on you" UM WHAT?! You are part of the NHS. The National Health Service. The service that is available to any British resident, taxpayer or not. I am a taxpayer. I am prepared to GIVE YOU MONEY AND CONTRIBUTE EVEN MORE TO THE NHS for these vaccinations, and you still won't take them?! I argued with her for a bit but she wasn't really listening. She went away and brought back a letter "for my employer" to read which says they have to pay for the vaccinations. Bullshit! I'm sure she just gave me it just to prove she was right. Anyway, I went to my mam's house in a rage and we looked at private clinics who would do it for me etc. But nooo nooo "we don't do vaccinations". Then I call Boots in Newcastle and I ask them if they'd do them "Oh yeah no problem!"
"How much is it?" I ask
"£382"

YOU WHAT?! That's $609USD, 456 euro, $652 AUD, 2239 AED. That is appalling. I wanted to buy an iPad with that money! I'll have to work overtime at work - I only have like six weeks or something left there *fistpump*.

So anyhow I'm there next Wednesday for them. Now I need to buy a digital camera and buy some suitcases -I think I'll order them online though. I need new summery clothes but again, I'll have to look online as all the shops are stocking up on their winter gear! I was gonna buy a winter coat the other day as I was freezing bu on the way to the shop I thought "wait, why am I buying a winter coat? hahahahaha" and turned around and went back to the car.

I'm digressing. After I went to my mam's house I visited my auntie. She could talk the back legs off a donkey and she stopped giving me birthday and christmas money when I turned 18 so I stopped going LOL. But I think it's only fair I should tell her I'm leaving the country etc. So I had a coffee at hers and actually didn't get scratched from one of her many cats this time! She has a new kitten - it was sooo cuuuttteee!!!


I got home and tidied my room (by 'tidied' I mean 'moved stuff around') and then I printed off alllll of the shit required for Emirates. Employment contracts, medical certificates, educational certificates etc. Bought myself a sexy new folder to put everything in. I swear, it's so heavy it'll take up half of my hand luggage allowance!

Tomorrow I hand in my letter of resignation. I can't wait, I'm gonna walk in to the office and slap it on their desks. I got an e-mail from Aer Lingus the other day saying I'd been unsuccessful in my application to work for them as Cabin Crew.

My immediate thought...?


LOL!!!
