Not had the best day. Started well and with lots of positivity
The only universe baseball bat I guess - A-fucking-gain!!
Had coffee at mate's cafe with a couple of friends then drove to the tax office.
Somewhat confused that they didn't received the tax info that was submitted by the France Service lady in APRIL - so my 2023 tax return is late and I don't have the paperwork I need
Also, the info I sent in June (recorded delivery and they've received it as the name change has been processed) she initially said it wasn't received. FFS. Then she said it's in process.
I left exceptionally stressed as I need the paperwork from 22 and 23 very very soon - but now don't know when I will get it
Then drove to Grenoble for an EMG (is it Electromyagram in english? Nerve test - first two were needles put into various parts of the arm/hand then electic pulses put through)
Anyway - first off, it's almost impossible ot see the access screen outside as it face the sun and . . .
Managed to get in, saw receptionist who wouldn't use my actual first name in the system because she said "it doesn't work" Well it works in every other fing medical place and you've just entered an incorrect/non legal first name in the system
FFS - then had the cheek to say "it doesn't matter"
Finally got to see the nerve lady who spoke a million miles and hour, was a patronising shit, told me I had nothing to worry about etc etc. Well, if there's nothing to worry about, WTF do I get nerve pains a lot and WTF do I have constant pins and needles in my thumb and often in other parts of my hand/arm.
Good news she said was it isn't carpal tunnel syndrome. Well, both the surgeon and I were crossing fingers and hoping 100% that it was carpal tunnel. Even when I told her that she kept saying, it's nothing to sorry about. But couldn't explain the snesations/pain and said - "oh it'll just be a bit of tendonitis from riding a moto, don't worry"
FFS woman. It's got nothing to do with the moto as started before I did much and continues even when I don't ride, or don't ski, or don't drive
I do so hate medical fuckwits that are patronising and condescending in equal measure - so deserved a slap
Then got a text to tell me that the guy who's Capri I was supposed to drive tomorrow for a motor show up here doesn't have the sort of insurance that means others can drive the car - but he's ok for me to drive it uninsured 'if I'm careful'
FFS!! I've never known a car restricted to owner driver only. And no way can I risk driving in a group of cars (or on it's own!) uninsured cos of my job!! Gutted
But I did get to see some good friends on the way home that I've not seen for almost a year and then got to Lidl before it closed so I have ice creams in the freezer and some chinese 'treats' in the fridge for when I'm ready to eat actual food (instead of ice cream!
)
