I have written it here before, and I must write it here again. Portugal must be the most Northern country of Africa. This can’t be Europe. With their mentality, the Portuguese will soon become the proud owner of the poorest country in the European Union.

This morning I am having an appointment to see my doctor. The appointment was made about three months ago, as I see her every three months. After every visit, I immediately book a new appointment. Which makes things easy. I was scheduled to see my doctor at 09.30am. I arrived around 09.00am and cued up for about half an hour until it was my turn.

Apparently, a new good looking long legged bitch is now running the administration at the local health center. I told her my name, and told her that I had an appointment at 09.30am. To my big surprise, the bitch told me that she didn’t care at all about pre-booked appointments, and that since she has become in charge of the whole thing, people are being treated the old fashioned way on a “first come, first serve” basis. I also found out that there were about nine people who had come in earlier than I did, and I immediately realised I would be losing at least two to three hours of this beautiful and sunny Monday morning. So I wanted to book a new appointment. The bitch told me that this was not going to be possible, as she didn’t have an agenda. So I accepted the fact that I would be losing the biggest part of this Monday morning, I went to have breakfast on a local terrace in the village, and came home where I am now writing these words. Once this article is published, I will be doing some administration for my company and will go back and see my doctor, which will be around noon.

I realise it is hard to believe, but this is Portugal at the end of July of 2009. A country in which it is still possible that a local health center is run by a customer unfriendly but good looking bitch, who uses medieval tools and a “kiss-my-beautiful-ass-mentality”. As a matter of fact, I just come to think of it. I am glad that I am living alone. Imagine me living together with a woman like her. I think I would go into politics, and become Minister of Foreign Affairs, in order to be able to travel away as much as possible and as far as possible!

But fortunately, the sun is shining today. As it is shining about 330 days a year. And I will enjoy the rest of my day, once I will have seen my doctor. And I will enjoy the rest of my week, while the bitch will still be harassing her customers who need to see their doctor…
