Day D... Dreadful

Today, we had a  masseuse course  classes, this time it was Protection At Work.

I almost   wished we had an Anatomy instead, because   the guy who   was teaching   didn't get the  things done as he should have.    First, if we have  Protection at Work, or better Workplace,  then he  darn should have been   speaking about that,   but instead, we got a glorified version of sports Medicine  two hours total, and most of us were baffled about his babblings.   I can say for me I  am relatively well educated -  somewhat of a jack of all trades, but this  class took the cake.   It didn't help that I am deaf, and the guy was yammering as if he  had a mileage to do with his tongue -  he was  apparently impatient to get out of the classroom - we did get some  examples of how to  test the reflexes, some do's and don't's but  when I asked  about  situations when   it's absolutely not advisable  to  massage the patient, then he began to blather something I am still unsure about, but   was not important, as he didn't talk about my   question in a clear and concise way.   And really, this guy is a doctor with some... what  40  years of practice under his belt?  I asked him  if  a patient with arthritis or  osteoporosis or  muscle atrophy was   a bad candidate for a massage, but instead of that I got a detailed  explanation of what were those things and some  additional holier-than-thou yammering that made me inwardly twitch  at the absurdity. And to the top of it all, the guy  ended  the class half an  hours before  it should have been ended -   well, that was  the only blessing  in the entire farce of a class we had today.

Really... I am wondering just how would we  get through the test on Monday....depressingly enough,  I am not confident we would make it  in one go. Thankfully,  I had invested in two books about massage and I would have to see  if I can mysteriously procure some scripts to get the holes done and over with.

And maybe .... kindly... suggest to our coordinator to get the  damn man to write some script for the poor us who take this class and save the next generations  the waste of time  that is called  Protection  at Workplace  class.

/Shakes head/ For crying out loud, the   man isn't even a masseuse.  What the actual   fuck was he doing  lecturing  to the future masseuses about the subject he doesn't know shit about? Sports Medicine is whole lot of a different bricks than  Protection At Workplace and even  a third-grader would have  conducted the class better.   To the top of it all, he didn't even have   lists  with  main points, Power Point  presentation....  he just blathered on.

Bright points of the day  -   Got  a good dinner in the shape of  French salad, toast  and  banana smoothie.  I swear, my  big bro missed his true calling.  Instead of  being an  electric engineer, he should have become a chef.  /mournful shake of head/.  Pity.   But hell, yeah got a good recipe outta this for the smoothie, so the day is not   lost  :D



BANANA SMOOTHIE  VUCKO STYLE

Ingredients:

2 bananas

2 kiwis

2 apples

 1 plain yogurt

Whipped cream -  for whipping (If you are lazy or don't have time,  the canned one is also good enough)

Milk

 The amount of ingredients  used is enough for  two persons... well, at least for  us two was enough.

Preparation:

 Peel the bananas and cut them in the pieces, do the same for the kiwis and apples -   with apples,   you also remove apple seeds before you  cut them in smaller pieces.  Get the  cut fruit into the food processor and add  yogurt.  Add   as much  milk as you want -  we used  for one  cappucino cup of milk - or  at least I think so.   If you want to have  a  thicker mixture, then you add   less milk,  and if you want more liquid one,  then you  add more milk.  It's all about  your preference.  You can also  switch milk  with yogurt if you don't have enough milk, and  if you are  fond of milk,   you can  let out the yogurt. if you are lactose intolerant, you  can left out the dairy products and  add plain water. You just have to add more fruit then to  achieve the  thicker mixture if you are fond of it.

Blend it together and  meanwhile whip the cream.  When the smoothie is finished, pour it in the cocktail  glasses or  cappuccino cups if you don't have  cocktail glasses,  decorate with the  whipped cream... and enjoy!

For  those who really can't  go without the choco goodness, you can sprinkle on  some grate chocolate, or, if you are really a health nut,  then you can also go with powdered cinnamon.   If you are a lover of spicy  things -  I know I am -  you can add chili. however, last variant is a little questionable -   I am a lover of  spicy  things, so my  taste buds can be a little skewered. 

The entire preparation lasts some 15 minutes,  10 if you  already have prepared  fruit and have a canned tin of  whipped cream handy.

 Bon Appetite!
