2517

i had time, while waiting to see the doc at the polyclinic, to memorise my queue number a hundred times over. no, a thousand times over. yet, when the display screen flashed '2517' to indicate that it was finally my turn, i failed to respond.see, i fell asleep. it was a kind lady who alerted me. otherwise, the wait could jolly well extend into eternity. how did she know my number? well, earlier on, for some reason, she had asked me what my number was. the little blessings in life. i'm thankful.
