Take your skin off when you listen to me
Work's bloody eating up my time. Every day, I sit in my new swivel chair and type away at the desk, pretending that each name completed, each bit of data obtained and categorised neatly is like a lap out of many-many-many laps in a racing game.
Today I read something that made me consider pursuing psychology in college. The more I thought about it, the more it appealed to me.
Seriously, chew on this.
"Patient seems to be going through a mid life crisis as he said that he would like to get married to a young woman 1/3 of his age and have kids. Patient to be referred to a psychiatrist for further investigation. Has seen a psychiatrist once after pre-university due to 'nervous breakdown brought on by stress due to school-related matters'."*
What other job lets you write incredible things like that and be taken seriously too?
It's brilliant.
*Fictitious adaptation of course.
On a totally different page, why the socks aren't the Malay radio stations playing Hari Raya songs? And where are the outrageous listeners who call in to send ridiculous dedications to their loved ones? I've yet to hear even one remotely interesting one :/ The last interesting one I remember happened eons ago.
Listener: Hello?
DJ: Hi, who's there on the other line?
Listener: My name's So-and-So. I'm from the north region of Singapore, WASSSSSSSAP?!!
DJ: Wow, an enthusiastic caller indeed! Anyway So-and-So, what would you like to say to our listeners?
Listener: Hello?
DJ: Yes, we're still here, we can hear you loud and clear.
Listener: Heh, I couldn't hear you just now. Anyway I just wanted to say that... (pauses a while) Hello?
DJ: Hello! Yes, who would you like to dedicate the next song to?
Listener: Hello, hello?
(Line goes dead)
For some profound reason, that exchange just tickles my funnybone.
WASSSSSSSAP?!!?11! was comedy gold.
