I spent most of today feeling feverish, at least until someone gave me Panadol. Can't tell you who because of the (technically illegal) circumstances under which that Panadol was obtained. Haha! Anyway, I knew it was going to be a bad day when I woke up shivering. To borrow a phrasing from Carol Ann Duffy's poem, cold seeps into the bones. Another bad omen - my left arm hurt when I tried to twist it while holding my relatively light file. So I spent most of the morning trying to be my usual acerbic self, but I caved and started whining during our second break. That's when I got the Panadol (and realised my class is very unsympathetic). Sigh, maybe I should stop being so acid, then maybe they'd take me seriously. Thank you, Ben, for not being mean. CWC today was a frigging waste of my time. (It always seems that way once she steps in. Daniel, I understand how you feel now.) I'm going to take a nap now, and try to wake up in half an hour to type out the GP questions.
