Today I was at the doctor

Really long time had passed since I was at the doctor last time. Anyway few things:

a) Today was my doctor working from 13:00 till 18:00. At 12:57 were sitting twenty persons in the waiting room. So I left home, spent the time at home and returned at 15:00. It was only me and one old man, who was bit deaf.

b) You could hear that in the consulting room was someone speaking with the nurse. The guy inside was saying goodbye for like five minutes. Anyway after several minutes the old man in the waiting room looked at me and said: "It is suspiciously silent in there, maybe it is empty, I shall knock on the door, so the nurse will know that we are waiting here." Well I said to him, that I can hear the voices there, so definitely there is someone in. He replied: "WHAT?" So I said it more loudly. On my standard (I am speaking bit quietly) I shouted at him the same sentence again. He looked bit surprised, because he did not hear anything in there, but what the hell.

c) There were really lots of leaflets in the waiting room (most of the commercials for medicines, etc.). One took my attention was printed by civic association "Cesta domů" (Way home) - they are mostly aimed on supporting families who are living with terminal patients, so that they can for example quit the job and fully support the dying family members at home. The leaflet was made really well, but it was all quite sad thing to read. Anyway I think that the idea of dying with people you love or who loved you, is very painful, but definitely much better than being in hospital with other patients.

d) today was the first "sick note" my doctor gave me in my life. Before that I was either student (not needed) or never been ill in my work life. Or I worked in places, where the "sick note" is so much bureaucracy they did not give a shit so I could be at home and work from home till I felt better. I am not cheating on this one and can be trusted.
Anyway I kinda like my doctor, she never prescribes things which she thinks are useless. Lot of people then are feeling like she is depriving them of medical care, but it is not true. I fully support her on waiting for couple of days more if I get better before she prescribes me the antibiotics. When I was a kid more than 20 years ago doctors gave away antibiotics just right when you entered the consulting room and said that you have sore throat or a cough. So I really hope I will get better by wednesdey. If not I will get the antibiotics, because I have fever for already a week and painkillers does not help and the cough is really bad at nights.

And then... they marry the next one

It seems really weird, but there were around me lot of my friends who  had long-term relationships (5 years and more) and if they did not marry, they split up and married the next guy (girl or boy) after couple of months being together. 

The winner in this contest is definitely one of my friend, who told the girl on the second date he wants to marry her and have kids with her and what is funny, she actually said yes...

It seems that even if we are living (as THEY say - who the hell are they? media?) in the era, when the traditional values such as marriage are declining, it looks like people are actually still want to get married. The only difference is that back in the past people younger than 20 were already having kids (which is OK if you died around 50) nowadays people are having kids around their 30s.

The Art of Definition

Well this is marketing. On one adult content site had ad banner which said something as (what I would try to "translate" into nice language):
"Beautiful young girl with penis."

I really had to laugh, because more exact thing would be:
"Beautiful young boy with fake tits."

Anyway in the end it is only a matter of definition and I am sure that they are getting more money from the banners with first claim :o).

Unpleasant things...

Last week I was telling my (today already former) colleague, that I am going to quit the job and go to a different company and that it is very "unpleasant" for me (that I am bit stressed how my bosses would take it, etc.). And she (because she was nearly 50 and very wise and cool) told me, that it is OK, if it is unpleasant for me, because it is unpleasant situation. The really big problem in life is, when things in life which should be pleasant are unpleasant. Although she said that she is not the person who believes that it is necessary for evil to exist, so that we can differentiate it from good.

I think I will really miss her and also our sometimes bit philosophical disputations :o). And to add up, I will also miss our quarrels about our work projects, when she really knew how to settle me down. I know I am sometimes bit difficult (thinking of myself highly), but she was clever as hell, too, so sometimes it was rough on both of us, but in the end I really liked her. With my stubborness and her experience, the output was always in the end very good for our clients. And she also learnt me how to present our work...

...it made me cry

Why the hell have mostly most "thumbs up" on YouTube comments under musical videos such as: "It's such beauty, that it made me cry."

Are all the YouTube users such social and feelings deprivants, that they "like" when some kind of loser is crying in front of monitor?
