Rinse and spit

Have just been to dental hygienist. As I lay there in the chair, and as she hacked away at my gums, it made me wonder what actually makes people decide to do that job. Looking into people's gobs all day, making them wince in pain and nagging them to floss can't exactly bring you a great level of job satisfaction. Halfway through the agonising experience I wondered if I could just get up and leave, but being truly British I didn't like to make a fuss. Not just painful on the wallet but on the bankbalance - bloody cost me £37 for the pleasure. Hmmph.
