Having the night shift from Hell. Walked in to see a dog being prepped for surgery, a cat that had tried to stop a car with its face being given oxygen and the unmistakeable smell of dogs with haemorrhagic diarrhorrea.
Unable to run away screaming, I had to stay.
About half way through the cleaning process. Need tea and stuff, so stopped.
Heard somebody getting mugged in the carpark next door - called police, they weren't interested. Marvellous.
So, since it looks interesting, here is my interpretation of the Friday Five:
(Nicked from various on the Flist.)
1. Are you named after anyone? I am. A friend of my mum's when she was out in Singapore - thought my name was unusual so went for it. And my middle name is after the wife of one of dad's friends, also out in S'pore. They liked the spelling. *Snort* Thanks guys.
2. Do you have your children's names picked out already? Do get real. No breeding here, ta.
3. If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name have been? Caleb, apparently. Gotta love my parents.
4. If you could re-name yourself what name would you pick and why? Do you know, I have no idea. For years I preferred my middle name, but these days...? I like the shortened version of my current name. Andy works for me, it's nicely ambiguous and short enough to carry if yelled across a room!
5. Are there any mispronunciations/typos that people do w/ your name constantly? Sometimes putting an extra 'i' in my first name, but rarely. Even my surname usually gets spelled right ('Slaymaker' is so unusual people almost always ask how it's spelled). My middle name, however...ha. 'Catharine' is an unusual enough spelling that very, very few people ever get it right....
(And now you know my middle name ;) )
Right, back to it!
