Filling in the scary medical form now. There's a list of 38 ailments that you have to declare. Guess how many I have? If I could be arsed, I'd type in the complete list for you to have "fun" with ('cos some of you will answer any questionnaire, no matter how strange!), but my arsedness quotient is remarkably low atm. Heehee.

And there's a wonderful bit that says "Have you required a doctor during the last 5 years?" and if so, please give the following details: Nature of illness, Dates of beginning and end of illness, Number of weeks unable to attend school, college or to follow usual occupation. I mean, bloody hell! I have no idea how many weeks I've had off with depression! Lots! And I'm never coming off antidepressants! But I'm quite perfectly sane now, thanks to the aforementioned antidepressants that I'm not coming off. I just have to see the doctor every so often so they can check I'm still sane.

OK, I've now given up on that, and am filling in my work's "employee survey". Have ticked "strongly disagree" all over the place and had a long rant in all the boxes for comments. I'm pretty sure they'll be able to work out who I am from my answers, but I don't give a stuff 'cos I'm leaving. I do however want the job to be improved for my friends who still have to do it, because in some ways they really do treat us like cattle and there's no need for it.

This is precisely why I want to acquire an old fashioned type-writer for filling in forms without the hassle of scanning things in and trying to get layout right. Must go gander at Ebay so i can type small on a typewriter and then add extra sheets from a sensible medium like a normal computer.

Fneh to annoying medical crap, only bettered by a GP asking about medical history in 2 mins flat and usually try and fob me off to my excellent but not needing to be hassled hospital contacts.
