Chatterbox Friday

crankcaller any thoughts on that Jolly Redd painting conundrum from yesterday? I got a bit of a shock this morning when I emptied my letterbox that included the Jolly Painting that I had ordered from Redd after you had bought the Vermeer. I opened all my parcels and put the painting on my wall.

It was the fake.

After some confusion I checked my inventory again and then realised what had happened. The painting from Redd was genuine, but one of my villagers, Zell, had sent me the fake at the same time. The little shit. His birthday is coming up, he can forget about a present right now.

So now I have three Jolly Paintings: one in the museum, one genuine and one fake. That's two too many. Could we do a swap? Or do you not need the Arcimboldo either?

Quite pricey given that freedom only costs $1.05.

That's just rotten luck, cousin. Well, keep it, it's one of the entertaining "haunted" paintings...

Still, can I offer you a genuine Arcimboldo? I really don't need it...

Next time have this guide handy

Ooowww...  Bloody incompetent Nursey today; how can someone not understand what the 'sole' of the foot is and be a nurse... it's certainly not the heel.  "It's the opposite side to the dorsal area."  So she starts putting emollient on the tips of my toes...  after an hour of this near continuous witty repartee it's nearly 2 p.m. 

She says "This is taking too long. They should schedule 2 hours not 1."  Bear in mind that besides not listening to what I say, she hasn't debrided either leg, I've prepared all the dressings, lined the bucket, drawn the water, bought items which they seem incapable of supplying, provided a kneeling pad, moisturizing antibacterial pumped soap, disposable paper towels. etc. etc.  I refrain from revealing how fucking angry I am.  

It turns out she has 1 more patient to see and theoretically finishes at 4 pm...  she has oceans of time; she's obviously planning to finish early. 

Riding herd on someone who is oblivious to the dangers of cross-infection, both through time and space, the need to avoid putting threaded wipes into a macerating toilet* (in spite of being reminded several times) whilst in great pain because she keeps grabbing hold of bits of my foot or leg and fighting to fend off the effects of the morphine is bloody stressful.

*It costs just under £200 to clear the macerator and pump, provided you can get the guy to come out.  After she had gone I checked the loo and by heaven she'd dumped a wadge of threaded swabs into it.  So I had to remove the things; a charming task.  She's only the second truly incompetent and uncaring jobsworth District Nurse I've had in 7 years.

I'm going to sleep

You've left your computer on.

As always, my crisis is deeper, worse and more dramatic than yours. I'm down to my last five beers, and only one of them started with 20 litres in it.

I am now down to my last twelve beers.

Is anyone feeling the pump for Last of Us 2? I liked the first one but feel like one was probably enough.

Apart from the Soulsborne games I'd say TLOU was my favourite ps3/4 game.

I should probably play the first one.

I thought TLoU was ok. I enjoyed it enough to play through to the end. I doubt I'll bother with 2.
