This being the first Wednesday in February, most junior doctors change jobs, so we have four new SHOs. I know, I know, I was one once, etc.. How true. They’re all so very young. It troubles me. One could so easily be labelled a cougar for harassing the young men. OK, yes, I know, I wish. We heard we were getting four chaps, so I was a little surprised to find one wearing a dress. But it was all right, she was a girl. I said, “Oh, you’re not a man!” and she said that I was the third person to tell her that. I think she was having a trying morning.

Not as bad as another young person, of Batman’s acquaintance. Bats tells me that this young person developed Tourette’s this morning, when he found out he was going to get a vaccination. I believe it was rather fluent.

I have just written an angry email to a shop in town, because I went in 15 minutes before closing time, said hello to the doll and she looked at me, then blanked me in favour of some callow lad she was chatting up. That’s not so abnormal, but then she turned the lights out on me when I walked to the back of the shop to look at something. Cheeky tart. Boy, is she going to be sorry in the morning. I am much more eloquently furious when I’m sleepy.

* It was 2am when I got to bed.
