cas999's blog post - The Road to Recovery....

So, my friend is out of hospital – I truly thank the NHS folk for what can only be described as ‘miracles’ that they perform. ‘We’ bitch about them often, however, the chips were seriously down for this friend and now some 4 weeks later the ‘game of life’ is definitely back on! There are definitely other challenges to hurdle but I think the stride is back in the step to face these full on

I have been unwell myself, ‘man flu’, yes - I don’t get the ‘common cold’ I definitely am an honorary member of the ‘man flu club’ the club sure embraced me this last week despite following all the club rules: Moan and complain persistently about how unwell you are; Blow your nose at least 1,000 times a day and whinge profusely about the red raw skin that used to be between your nose and mouth but has now merged into one; Cough like a hacking 80 yr old man and refuse to admit that smoking really does not help; Take every medication available and swear on your heart that ‘hot toddies’ (hot whisky) really will not affect the medication nor does it cause the hallucinations; when all else fails curl up in a ball in your duvet, sweat like a pig and refuse to move until the ambulance arrives!

I guess in comparison to my friends experience mine really is paltry... BUT I’VE BEEN ILL!!!

On a funnier note, in the middle of this ‘man flu’ I had an interview to attend. I had been using balsam tissues and a ‘lip salve’ in the hope of preventing or at worse clearing the above mentioned ‘nose and mouth merging into one routine’ – I was bemused by the extreme redness of the lining of my lips and my lip/nose merger. A few days into ‘man flu’, I checked the little tub of ‘salve’ .... Yes, in my haste for something to ‘cure’ me I had grabbed a ‘strawberry’.........
Lip Gloss!!! Oh my I looked pretty for my interview and must have smelt like a dream!!!

Now I have a quandary, if I am offered the job do I need to wonder about their sanity and logic for wanting someone who arrived with a head similar to that of ‘the elephant man?’ Along with a voice that could have been matched by any respectable transvestite / 0898 operator? Or, if I am rejected for the job, do I even bother to ask for feedback as to why I was not successful
