Julia needs a chill pill.
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007I went to our glorious General Hospital this morning to visit someone and to my surprise, I wasn’t allowed into the wards by this ogre female guard whose race shall be omitted because I do not want to insult them. *cough*
So anyways, I told her that I just want to pass some things to my friend, and she said no. Actually, her exact words were ‘Tak bole’,’ too lazy to even pronounce her words properly. My eyeballs almost rolled backwards into their sockets. She seemed unable to form full sentences, her words clipped and almost incomprehensible.
Extremely peeved and not about ready to give up, I went to one of those counters they have, and this kind lady whose race I shan’t mention because one bad apple doesn’t mean that the entire basket is fouled - there are a few good apples in there yet, gave me hints. She asked me to buy some food on the pretext of passing it to my friend.
I did exactly that. Still, the troll guard refused to let me in, and the few monkeys helpers sitting at the kononnya guard table didn’t help either by saying ‘Tak boleh, tak boleh punya …’
I walked away. In my head, oh so many beautiful insults and curses were flying about. Note that I do not like to curse people. But this situation called, nay, demanded for it.
I cursed the guard, I hoped that she died a horrible death on her way home, I hoped that she got cancer, I hoped that when SHE was in the ward and SOMEONE wants to visit her because she’s bloody hungry and needs to eat or else she’d die, the guards won’t let whoever it is that’s bringing her food in, and eventually she dies a horrible death. A lot of horrible-death-curses flying around, I’m not proud of that, but the rage was so bad I felt faint. I wanted her to burn, burn bitch burn. No wonder she’s merely a guard. I really hate this kind of thinking - the condescending ‘you’re a lowly worker’ thought, but I honestly couldn’t help myself. The way this barbarian woman conducted herself in her job was intolerable. I HAD to think that revolting thought. Not that it justifies it, I’m not trying to justify my nasty thoughts. Maybe a better person would’ve thought differently, but I’m me and I can have moments of nasty thoughts.
So, I persisted. I called a friend who is an intern at the hospital. Luckily he was available and he helped me send some things to my someone. He also explained to me kindly that the reason for the strict visiting hours is because it’s the time of day when the doctors and nurses make their rounds. Ah .. if that guard had told me that instead of the unintelligeble nonsense that came out of her ulceric mouth, I wouldn’t have been so incensed.
I guess in life, you meet all sorts of strange, rude, uncouth people. What do you do? Don’t give a flying fuck. Don’t let them see your annoyance. Don’t give them that satisfaction. Whilst I waited for intern friend in front of said fucktart guard, I smiled faintly. I smiled as I texted my poor someone imprisoned in the ward. I put on an amused face, as those murderous thoughts piled in my head. I tried my best to look non-chalant.
After all, I truly believe in karma.
