Today I went to the milk bar near my work to get some milk for the office. I had to ask for a receipt, because it was being paid for by my work. When I asked for a receipt, the horribly scary woman behind the counter goes “Oh but only because you’re such a sweetie”. So I said, “Yeh, that’s what my boyfriend says all the time.” It was worth it for the look on her face.

Some days at work I just feel like I’m dead all morning. I need cola of some sort to wake me up at that time of day. Unfortunately to me there’s something a little bit not right about Coke for breakfast tho, so I have to wait until the Cola Buffer Zone of 11am has passed. Sometimes I’m really hanging on for the buffer zone to pass.

Speaking of breakfast. A girl at work had tomato soup for breakfast this morning. Stomach of steel.

A girl at my work is violently against mobile phones. Today:

Mobile Phone Hating Woman: “Why should I get a mobile? Every bloody time someone rings me the topic of conversation will be Where Are You?!’

A guy at my work pulled up at the traffic lights this morning on his way to work and who was in the car next to him but Red Symons. My workmate said Red sort of gave him a “Oh, Look at me, I’m Red Symons, look at me” sort of look. So my workmate just looked at him like he had an enormous goober hanging out of his nose. (I find that technique works well on people, but they tend to do it back to me, and that’s usually because I actually do have an enormous booger hanging out of my nose).

Me and a workmate, on our lunch break, walked past an old guy busking with his saxophone today. He seemed to be doing this really cool vibrato effect with his sax, which I commented on to my friend. I then felt horrible as my workmate pointed out it wasn’t a vibrato effect - the guy was just a bit shaky.

I say record his sax behind a dance beat, record a novelty single under a name like DJ Wobbly, throw in the marketing machine of a major record company, and you’ve got quite a lucrative one-hit-wonder deal on your hands.
