My day so far
- Met my new young, lady dentist. Immediately forgot her name.
- Asked if I was needed to provide the service of helping finish off a cake, immediately negating my dental cleaning.
- Met young gentleman whose cake it was. Immediately forgot his name.
Overheard at the office today
- The Irish guy speaking Dutch - so cute!
- The Chilean guy saying he’s only been back to Chile once (last year) since he left 11 years ago - damn!
