Funny Old Friday..

Sitting at the doctor's this morning (just to get a repeat prescription, I'm not ill) there is a girl in the waiting room talking to her friend. I'm not curious as to why she's here, though it occasionally crosses my mind how sick everyone is and how uncomfortable I am being in an enclosed space with them. After a brief dialogue about relationships and whether she will ever meet someone and date / have a relationship, her friend asks her whether she has let her work know that she's going to be late today. Immediately the girl phones her work to let them know she is at the doctors. Clearly they weren't impressed that she advised them 10 minutes before her shift, and asked her why she didn't know she was ill yesterday. Most people would at this point explain (or at least lie) that they woke up feeling unwell. This girl tells her boss that she has 'some kind of STD'. Her friend (and the entire waiting room) desperately pretend like we haven't heard what she's said. I'm scrolling through emails I have already seen on my Blackberry. Not that it matters, she was oblivious that it was far too much information.
And another thing that's made me giggle today...
I received via email from an old flatmate of mine from Australia (a Big Brother selection process finalist and provider of yesterday's gossip) and it is today's Quote Of The Day:
"Kate and I have been together for 3 plus years now (preceded by Caitilin, Katie and Kate and some other girl whose name I can't remember)."
