I had a medical examination yesterday in preparation for my new job.
It was all mechanical, the whole process. It was stiff yet everything was taken seriously. The way the nurses and the medtechs spoke to us were detailed, straight to the point. The chitty chats were kept to a minimum.
The woman in a blue scrubsuit with a severe look on her face, like, "i-aint-here-to-talk-bull-with-you" kinda atmosphere, swiftly took a new syringe from the syringe stack. Immediately tying my arm with some rubber to let my veins show up or something, and sticking the syringe into my unknowing skin. Fuck that hurt a little bit, but i didnt show my pain or fear. She took blood. She did.
I was asked to have my fingerprints taken using some kind of fingerprint recording device, it took me a while to understand the man's instructions, i felt challenged because its as if my listening skills were not good enough because i have forgotten how it is to communicate with filipinos, since i have worked for a japanese company for a year and a half.
I promised myself to train my ears to Filipino and English instructions.
So, i got home. Took a crap and submitted a small amount of it in a plastic covered cup. In all a swift manner.
I decided to quit smoking, and lessen the booze, ive got bigger dreams than get wasted and look old. Hahaha!
What a challenge!
Still reading murakami. I love him so much.
