[I can't think of many things I'd like to be other than a fly on the wall of vrap's surgery - all human life does indeed seem to be there]

[We're not allowed flies in our consulting rooms nowadays. We're probably not allowed labradors under the table either, or waiting-room cats. But a spider would be a good choice of lurking wildlife to be, especially if you promise to pop out and wave in the patient's line of vision when I start to sound bored.]

[That'll do nicely, mulbs. I quite like spiders. It can have the run of the room at other times provided it sits nicely in a coffee cup on my desk when I'm working, and pops its head out whenever someone says, "And there's something else."]

When you're inundated with furious emails tomorrow from people wanting to know why you've not paid them properly, can I say 'I told you so?'
I am failing to understand why *you* lot can't get information out of *that* lot. I'm guessing you all speak English and the phone system is still working. And if that fails, here's a novel concept, you could just go and talk to them, in person. It's not like they're on the other side of the world.

I can do simple profit and loss/percentage calculations in my head. My 8 year old self totalling up stocktaking books without a calculator for pocket money couldn't have done better.

Starting a catch up meeting with the line "are you okay, you seem anxious today" is NOT a good line, especially when I haven't been (and I'm not sure why you think I would have been?) Thanks for putting me on edge for the rest of the afternoon though.
[FYI, everyone else in the office thought I was really happy today, so maybe it's just you...I'll be sure to comment next time you're in a stinking mood as you were all last week]

Oh, dear. You do put a lot of effort into pretending to be ill, don't you? And you're not even very good at it.
And what is it that makes a healthy able-bodied person like you waste their life fussing conspicuously around someone who's pretending to be ill?
You wouldn't happen to be some of those benefit cheats that crop up in the papers from time to time, would you?
