G'day, ShroCat and Bear, the two early risers in Jive Pad!
At least, you'll get to tackle the paperwork in relative peace and quiet! I'm sure you'll miss the kids though!

Is it really THAT good? I never took note of it but if it's THAT good...
I'm waiting for the price for Dexter Season 1 to drop. Right now, it's about A$40.
AV highly recommends it.BTW, when you were in Melbourne, did you frequent JB Hi-Fi stores?

no.. i frequent 2nd hand shops.. i was a poor uni student then..
then from the pittance left over from essentials like beer, rent and meals, we'd get the discount dockets and go rent a few movies to watch

Ah well, I used to be a Morning Lark 
until the shiftwork messed up my body clock! Now, I'm a Night Owl! 
Before this happened to me, I wouldn't have believed that one can change one's body clock that drastically!

Fakers? She reminds me of a whole bunch of my colleagues!
"Oh, that's good, luv!" / "Will do, honey!" / "Blossom in Room 3 needs TLC!" / "That's great, darl!" yada yada yada yada... AAAAAaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!

i think if the emailer crashed, my boss will become even more of a blithering idiot than now..

hundreds a day..
she's like a human spam program..

hee...ya looks like nto much people early morning here..i get to stay at home to do my paperwork so.. at least got the cat to accompany me :)

Went out to the back to hang laundry and oh my gosh, that irritating Greek woman in the neighbouring house just wouldn't shut up! She has a low-pitched, gruffy voice like a man's, and she was shouting at her children, and then criticising her husband and finally broke out into an argument with him. The thing is, I couldn't hear the man's meek voice, only her rat-tat-tatt'ing away like some merciless machine gun.
Horrible, noisy creature! 
She reminds me of a few divorced (and remarried) doctors in our ward. One is undergoing a divorce and he's lost the plot and has become very moody and tempestuous, throwing tantrums around.
Two others have recently remarried, and have become so much happier and chirpier. One of them was Mr Scrooge reincarnated before his divorce was through but now, he's like a completely new man! The wrong marriage partner / marital life going downhill can really create havoc in one's life... as well as everyone else who comes into contact with them!

okay.. you must hear this a lot.. but isn't the cat in a state of flux? -

She's hiding under the cloak of emails, thinking that the emails sent to the right people will make it seem like she's working very very hard! -

hehehehe.. judging from the frantic way she pouches at me at times... she's probably having a cat-out-of-the-box experience...... radioactive and rabid probably... -

Awww... that's so sweet! It's hard to get work done with the cat around though, because they have a tendency to try to steal your attention away from whatever you're absorbed in atm!
I used to lay sprawled on the cool floor to read the papers spread out before me, and it wouldn't take long before one... or two... or three of my cats would come over to kaypoh and plonk themselves right on my newspaper, to try to get my attention. But in order not to appear needy and lack of class like dogs, they would elegantly raise their paws or hindlegs and pretend to start preening, right on my newspaper!
If I removed them, they would show you the blackest face possible, with whiskers twitched forward to show you their displeasure at the indignity of it all! The little devils! 
A friend of mine had a cat who would lay itself right smack across the center of his textbooks whenever he tried to study!
And Marcus used to jump onto the computer table and swat the cursors moving across the monitor, or swat my fingers as I typed.
He'd sometimes compromise by settling into my lap for a catnap, resting his head on my left arm (never the right, because the right arm has to type and then reach for the mouse, thus disturbing His Royal Majesty's catnap! ) I
cats! -

btw.. can someone with a medical background tell fatum to go see a doctor if his ass feels like it's on fire
because all he takes is a toxic-sounding brown brew from hell which causes diarrhoea (not the verbal version, that one most of us chronic case and no cure already)
because he's now sitting on a swimming float and whimpering each time he logs on, sharing TMI with us, and driving people like av to contemplate violence on him

Well, it's fun when the doctors are happy and smiling and accommodating. It ain't so sunny when they are sulking and moody and quick-tempered!
I prefer Life to be a Beach, rather than a B!tch!

cats!
heeheee yyalo.. my cat would attempt to sleep on my LAPTOP keyboard.. almost flattening the thing with her fat butt.... hai.. but now she has become my CUSTODIAN OF THE PRINTER - the least little sound my printer makes when it starts up she becomes ALL ALERT for that 'magic' piece of paper that gets spouted out at the other end... she sits on it and just loves to see it coming out.. i think I should volunteer her for a Canon printer ad! -

Oh my gosh... he can't be THAT silly... or can he?
He should just go see a doc pronto! I'll go nag at him when he comes online!
I'll tell him yucky, goose-pimple inducing stories of what happens to folks who don't seek treatment for piles quickly! *rubs hands with sheer, utter glee! -

Wah! So cute!!! 
At least, she doesn't 'attack' the piece of printed paper! I can imagine mine would! Bite, scratch, grab with forepaws and kick-kick with hind legs... You can envision that, can't ya? What gets me yelling at the cats is when they stealthily get into the toilet and play with the toilet paper... shred shred shred, and paw-paw it so it unrolls into some heap onto the floor, and then they play with the paper and with each other.
Once, when I was in the bedroom, I heard the tell-tale squeaking sound of the toilet-roll holder going round, so I crept into the toilet, and saw one of them unrolling the toilet roll, and the other two sitting around, being very happy spectators! Suddenly, they sensed my presence, all froze like in some movie, almost as if they were waiting for the yell they KNEW was coming, then I took in a deep breath, yelled, "MeiiiiiiiiiiiiiJiiiiiiiiiiii!!!" (the culprit caught red-handed...eh... red-paw'd), and then ALL made a mad scramble out of the toilet, one in between my legs, one on the left, one on the right. Life is sooooo fun with cats!

Some of the things I encounter whilst at work just leave me dumbfounded! Yesterday, an Ivana Trump look-alike stepped into the room of a patient and when the other two ladies left, she asserted authority by announcing to me that she is the partner of the patient. The other two ladies are his ex-wife and daughter.
Wah... can co-exist so 'peacefully' one? Anyways, towards the end of the shift, when she exposed her forked tail and raised hell, I guessed the other two ladies must have been mortified into submission to Her Royal B!tchiness!
She was kicking up so much fuss over a stupid urinary bag, not knowing much, but yet trying to act smart and know-it-all. It was so amusing, so funny, and yet not. She was so aggressive, I ended up getting the Team Leader to deal with her. It was kinda entertaining hearing them fight it out with my Team Leader accusing her at one stage to stop being verbally abusive! Pathetic life... nothing better to do on a Sunday evening, then fuss over a urine bag!

point about spam: it's only 9:02am now..
she's replied to the same person twice and wrote to me once.. because that person (same type as my boss - they were from the same department in the past) generated 2 emails.. one to tell my boss that he is okay with her request and will be assigning 2 officers in his section to help us check up on a few records periodically on request.. that one is cc'ed to the 2 officers and myself.. and the other one is to inform the two officers...
so she has to generate three...
write once to thank the boss of the two officers.. (cc'ed to all)
write another to thank the two officers... (cc'ed to all)
write another to tell me to proceed with the work.. (again, cc'ed to all)
each time, the same stack emails going back and forth, they do not delete that hugeass attachment...
