inadequacy
winnie driving and super late to attachment
Me and Candice were sitting at the backseat of Winnie's car. She was driving me to have an orthopaedics attachment session at Duchess of Kent Children Hospital and Candice was just tagging along.(The hospital was oddly specific because I just read an orthopedics newsletter featuring that hospital yesterday evening
The view outside the window was the road below my home. I wasn't sure if Winnie knows the way to the hospital because she didn't seem to have a map with her, so I was guiding her way until we get out of Cross Harbour Tunnel bc after that idk where was that Hospital either. We also had a “task of the day” which was refilling petrol for the car which we have never tried before.
I guided her to on which lane to take when waiting for the traffic lights etc but there was a mini cone on the road so I told her to switch but she swerved too late and hit the cone- I was like uh okay not too big of a deal- and then told her to use the outermost lane after we turn bc it was going from 4 lanes to 3. But she knew it so it was ok
We were stuck in the traffic for a while and we got a call from the doctor- it was 1:31 pm and our attachment (only us 2) was supposed to start at 1:30- winnie told him we were coming
Anyways I told her there would be a gas station after all the bus stops and it would be obvious. (non existent irl) She drove slowly and I still missed/ couldn't see the entrance but we saw the exit of the gas station so we decided to reverse into the station lmao
She refilled the car and I asked her to double check if she had put away the petrol gun thing back safely and if our car refilling lid was closed, she was a little bit annoyed but say ofc she did those so I was like ok cool
We got past the toll station but since we were at the leftmost lane after getting out of the petrol station, it was only accepting the smart autotoll chips which Winnie did not have on her car. We drove past and a mobile station appeared for Winnie to tap with her octopus so it was kinda solved
I was chilling and lying on the seat, looking at all the advertisements on the walls of the tunnel along with Candice.
By the time we got out of the tunnel, we received a notification on our phones saying the marks for the attachment was out. We noticed the time was already 2:42 which was already the end of attachment. We saw a missed comment from the doctor's assistant saying we were going to miss the doctor starting a surgery on a patient. Then we looked at the comments the doctor gave on the mark sheet. Initially it appeared some generic template like adjectives that people would describe normal students with, with a mark of 20. We were chuckling a bit because we thought it was funny to get a 20 despite not showing up at all. Then the mark sheet updated with the comments replaced as sth along the lines as “highly collaborative”, hardworker etc (we guessed the highly collaborative referred to us skipping class together). And the mark was changed from 20 to 19. We thought it was a nice mark until I asked Winnie and we realised total was 40 and now we failed the session.
volleyball match with a cat
Me and a rather competent/ demanding or dominant friend (I forgot who that was- either Ivan or Queenie) were invited to a cat's home to play volleyball. So basically it was the cat's 主場. We were winning by so much initially- around 17:2 . Until I began to make errors in starting the ball, And also my friend who suddenly decided we swap roles from time to time (unpredictedly) when we were already playing by that she receives the ball and I hit the ball back. She argued because I stood closer to the net sometimes so I should be the one receiving the ball. (ok as I was writing it was a she so probably Queenie) I was pretty mad but she was not going to change at all and we still have the competition in front of us so I said Fine. And asked her what role I am playing every time the ball was started. (Her words wouldn't count before the ball starts)
Anyways me and the cat were playing quite crappy and then Qu**nie decided to pause the game as she saw the lightbulbs were shining in a weird colour. She unplugged the bulbs and hold it closer to show me, while I was like I knew it was like that. And then she saw the cat's eyes were also in this glossy weird mix of colours so she began to tell the cat it must be difficult for it to see, and babbled a lot of “touching and relatable shit for the cat to listen and showing she empathise with the cat” I was like ........ and then she decided to end the game here and we prob gonna continue the match someday.
After waking up and processing the plot of the two dreams again I just felt the common thing was I wasn't providing an adequate amount of support for my “groupmate” and I wasn't competent enough- hence the title inadequacy :P also I dislike how Queenie was showing up in my dreams more often now holy it's like having a new character who downplays and criticises you in the dream for the most unnecessary shit ever- and maybe I need to make a new hashtag dedicated for HER ew
