valkyrieza: (Equilibrium - Sean Bean)
You know, as soon as I think I have taken care of all the paperwork and called all the right people to finish sorting out the paperwork mess that has resulted when I was away from the country for about a year, something else comes up and bites me on my still considerable behind.

I want a stress-free holiday, not one filled with rushing all over the place endlessly filling out documents so some lowly clerk filled with their own self-importance can take their sweet time about it. It will be the little things that'll get me; like the probability of  the world coming to an end, because we have too many cows and their gases will kill our ozone layer long before that something more dramatic, like nuclear world war.

I had not really been posting due to some things in my life taking priority, work, personal life, etc however I am glad that some people have their priorities in order:

In June, the leading Hindu cleric in the Kashmir area of Pakistan
demanded a judicial investigation as to why the holy, phallus-
shaped object (a "lingam") in the Amarnath shrine appeared not to
be of naturally-formed ice but of imported soft snow.  The annual
pilgrimage to worship it (the fertility deity Shiva) depends, the
cleric said, on ice formations from inside Amarnath, and some
leaders are upset that Shiva this year just doesn't look right.

You can see this gentelman takes his work very seriously.

It was a great weekend, finishing off with finally watching "Kiss the Girls" after many near misses. However, the main thriller turned out to be my wisdom tooth which decided to manifest it's complaint of having a hole in it at 10:45 pm on a Sunday evening.

Admittedly, I have a strong threshold for dental pain and I should have booked for an earlier appointment, not this week Saturday, still, when the pain rolls over you in waves for several hours you consider cancelling the earlier arrangements and doing anything short of climbing Mount Everest to get to the dentist ASAP.

Finally, after my Wisdom tooth is removed and I am free of the pain after facing down an irate receptionist who "can only offer me a 12:30 appointment" because all the doctors are booked up. It took just under 15 minutes to make an X-Ray, inject me with a pain-killer and pull out my tooth before the 1st appointment of the day had even arrived!

I'm not afraid of dentists, after having a root canal as a child without any anaesthetic but now, I face the dentists' office with the same trepidation as before: Dental receptionists who absolutely hate any miniscule change in the schedule, not caring about the patient's pain or the obvious fact that the doctor does have the time to look at the problem.

Thankfully, I am at work sans one tooth and experiencing only a mild phantom pain. What I am not thankful for is the constant noise as they renovate our building drowining any conversation.

Well, the building manager is not gettinbg his PC back for quite a while, insert evil grin:)

10 minutes to go till home time.
