Rekindled by a spark

You know what I absolutely hate?  When a really cute, absolutely gorgeous, stunning, young twink, comes into work and puts a packet of condoms on the counter.  Worse still, I couldn’t tell if he was gay or not.  Could’ve been, could’ve not been.  He had the slimness and demeanor of a gay guy, but he could’ve just been metro.  WISHFUL thinking Matt.  Either way from the minute my eyes saw him to the moment I tore my eyes off his arse as he walked out the door, I remember feeling extremely jealous of whomever he was going to use them with =)  Bastard =)

My black somewhat-attractive cabbie who propositioned me last week has been in, just getting fuel.  He hasn’t flirted like he did that time, so it kinda feels weird he doesn’t joke around like he did that one time.  It’s almost like he’s pretending it didn’t happen.  I’m sure I wrote about it in here last year (haha) but to refresh your minds, this is the guy who bought a large-size packet of condoms and then joked about with me that I would only need the regular size.  I was adamant that he was, indeed, wrong, and the conversation somehow turned into him asking me the following question – "Do you know anywhere where we can go to try these out?"

So yeah, to go from THAT, to him just getting his fuel and going has been a little weird.  I guess maybe he’s been stressed over Christmas – he has looked a little tired.  My response to his offer was that I had to work and I couldn’t just leave the store lol, so maybe he’s just let it go that I’m not interested.  I’ve never been with a black guy.  I don’t know if I would be interested haha.  I somehow think that I would be the bitch in a situation with him, and from what I hear about black-boys, hmmm yeah, let’s just say I’d need a truckload of lube.  I guess if I was drunk enough and in the right mindspace (or wrong rather), I’d prob give him a go.  He does have a really nice arse.  Somehow I don’t see me topping him if he’s the one buying condoms, and large ones at that.

I still find it funny that I’m the reason they got large condoms into work – okay that wasn’t meant to sound as bad as it did 😀  I MEAN that I noticed there were six to eight varieties of regular sized condoms and no large ones, so when a customer said to me, ‘This is Australia, not China, mate," that was my cue to write something down for the manager.  The next week, to my utter surprise, we got them in, and I made everyone in the store laugh their arses off at my note *beams* =)

Heather, our invoice lady, wrote me the NICEST letter yesterday.  This is what it says – I did photograph it but it’s a bit small and probably won’t turn out – I gave her a card and some scratchies like I did every else, and I can’t even remember what I wrote in the card, but her response has put a huge smile on my face…

To Matt,

Thank you so much for the card and the lovely words in it.  (I didn’t win anything but that is okay).

I have struggled a little lately and you probably will never know how much kind sentiments actually do mean.

I thought of the following quote after receiving your card.

"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.  Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us" – Albert Schweitzer

All the best for a great New Year Matt.

Heather

How NICE was that!?  I never see her because she works day shifts, obviously.  I never see any managers at all, like ever.  She is the loveliest person though – a middle-aged woman with a smile that can melt your heart.  I gave her a kiss on the cheek at the Christmas party and she was smiling as big as ever.  I had no idea she struggled, and I’m still not sure what with.  I know she is single so it may be loneliness?  Who knows.  Either way I think her thank you letter was more appreciative than the card I gave her.
