slow walkers

Time for a rant.

Is it just me or are people walking slower and slower? It seems as I'm walking to work (in the shopping centre) that people are just dawdling along blocking pathways. It's so frustrating...I just want to walk in a straight line to my destination. I know where I'm going and I just want to get there- get out of my way. I must not be the only one with this dilemma. I'm afflicted by the slow walkers of this world, they purposely go out of their way to walk straight at me or to randomly dodge out in front of me. It's times like these I wish I was the oncoming train and they were the idiots in the car who dodged around the boom gates.
Working in a shopping centre does have it's perks. "YOURS" is a game that has been popularised by Tegan and we have nobly carried on the tradition. This game is best carried out in rural towns where the bogans abound. Most shopping centres are the haven for all such cashed up bogans who meander around these air-conditioned wonderlands ALL DAY! There was one woman in Cairns who we saw everyday for all 2 weeks. It wasn't like she was only nipping in to do some errands, she would be there ALL day!

Anyways back to the aim of the game: find the most yucky, fat, bogan, old or creepy person and call out "Yours!" for the other person. Very simple, very effective. Creates hours of amusement on the job, especially when you forget about playing and someone calls you a good juicy one.

I am rejoicing and happy tonight because, hallelujah, we are in a new hotel! Woo hoo! Clean beds, fresh air, hooker free zone! It's lovely with a pool a little out of town. We have two bedrooms (adjoining rooms) and we're all so relaxing because we are out of the doomsday hotel. Already been for a swim with Dee and a little girl who took a shine to me. She was so cute with built in floaties in her togs. Gotta bail for now, my batteries are just about to give out.
