Pick your corner carefully ...

Of all the corners you can pick* take care ... |

(1/) In hospital today, whilst in a lot of pain I spelled my name 3 times for a receptionist who kept sighing; eventually rolling her eyes she said loudly "You're confusing me with that name. Come explain it properly in that corner!" So many issues with what happened here...

*I remember at school 1970s - our drama teacher highlighting the people who have social awareness and those who do not. 'Social awareness' covers a wide range of attitudes, behaviour, manners, literacies, intelligences ... and with ongoing unrest, campaigning, activism, legislation, policy and human rights we have made progress. A counterpoint and sadness in the 21st C. is that - as ever - there remains much to do: many people [still] can not exercise a choice in terms of the corners they would like to reach.
