others.

yes another peeve of mine. on my lunch break, i took a stroll down to the italian bakery to pick up some friday treats for my staff. i was stuck behind this woman who not only walked really slow, but also refused to walk in a straight line.  She meandered her way lazily down the street and i couldn’t pass her.  i’d start to cut left and she would go left, i’d try to pass on the right and there she was again!  what the crap?

and then on my way back, i encountered a group of 4 people who decided to take over the width of the sidewalk, not even being kind enough to bunch up enough to let me pass.  how rude!

people amaze me every day.  everyone was using the printer by me today and i asked someone why.  “it’s been broken since yesterday.  there’s an error message.” what was the error message?  LOAD PAPER.  i thought i worked with smart people – the cream of the crop.  i spent half an hour arguing with someone about a map i had drawn for them. they said i coloured pakistan the wrong colour.  “um no i didn’t, i just checked what i sent you.  check again.”  but they insisted it was wrong so i walked over to her desk to find out what the deal was.  do you know she got pakistan mixed up with taiwan? i-work-with-f**king-idiots.  repeat that at least 50 times a day and you’ll get an idea of how my job is. 

i’m so glad it’s a long weekend.  i need to get away from others.

australia day.

today is friday and what makes it even better is that it’s a long weekend. monday is australia day.  according to wikipedia, australia day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, marking the start of british colonisation of australia.

what were they colonising australia with?  criminals of course-  a lovely penal colony far enough away from the motherland.  how nice.

well, like all good holidays, i’m going to forget about the true meaning,  have a cocktail (or two), eat fattening food and enjoy the day off.

 

 


is it friday yet?
