Dear Nice English Nurse at the Blood Bank

That notation on my chart? The one that says 'difficult veins'? Yeah, that one.

It's not a challenge, OK?

You are not supposed to interpret that line as, "Oh, they can't be THAT hard."

And I don't care how often you apologise as you have to adjust the needle while it's EMBEDDED IN MY FLESH, because you are too incompetent to realise that 'difficult veins' means 'makes hospital staff say things like, "I'm glad I don't have to take blood from you!"' and you've managed to completely miss the vein and you have to dig around IN MY FLESH to find it again.

You suck.

Thank you for my beautimous designs. Thank you for saving me from the bastard web host from hell. Thank you for moving all my files and installing MT all over again for me and basically being the most amazing people on the face of the earth.

Above all, thank you for giving me my blog back.

We will now return to our scheduled programming.

You look at the system date on the computer on Wednesday and your first reaction when you read 'Thursday, 9th March 2006' isn't "Hang on, what's wrong with the system clock?", it's "OHMIGOD! It's Thursday already? What happened to Wednesday?!"

Many happies to my beloved boy. May there always be Shag monkeys (note: not shagging monkeys) and may all your wishes come true.

Love
Your Girl
