MBF

Last year I switched health funds to MBF, because they were giving away free movie tickets each month for new members. I thought it was a great idea, because then I've really got cheaper health insurance due to the bonus movie ticket.

The problem was the cinema's that accept the tickets are all in timbuktu. In short, I end up paying heaps for petrol and there is no way I can possibly get there without soaking up a lot of time. There is a good word used to describe this. That word is "rort". These tickets are about as useful as a chimpanzee in a snow storm. What am I going to do with them?

- I might trade these tickets with a chimpanzee for a banana

On phone

The other day I was talking on the phone to someone in a different office when a graduate walked into my office and proceeded to stare at me. Being the Great Dr G I am used to being stared at, its part of the responsibility that comes with being Great, but I also need to make sure I keep confidentiality with the person I am speaking to.

He looked bemused, because he could hear me talking, but I seemed to be directing my conversation to the receptacle I was holding up to the left hand side of my face instead of to him. He just stood there like a fish looking for an umbrella shop on a rainy day.

I decided to help him out, because he clearly needed it. I got out a yellow post it and wrote on it "On phone" and then stuck it to my forehead and looked at him.

He came closer to read the message.

He then said, I know you are on the phone.

Good. He learns quickly.

Reposting

So I've been thinking I should start posting here again. I had to cut off this site due to 'technical difficulties' connected with a number of different people, none of whom are around anymore. This means that The Great Dr G is back, and you can all come out of your caves and bask in my wisdom and glory.

- The Great Dr G is back.
