Nothing much to report today – just that the door lock at work got stuck on the ‘locked’ setting so I freaked out as I was unable to let anyone into (or out of) the store.  Three guys were hanging around outside and no matter how hard I pressed the buzzer, it just wouldn’t work.  Great!

So I rang my manager at about 11pm (thankfully it wasn’t too late) and she said to use the button that is behind the chip-stand, so I found that, which I can just reach over the counter if I really lean into it.  That was the only way the door would open, and I had to do it each and every time a customer wanted to either enter or exit the store.  It would then automatically lock again when the doors closed after them.  The worst part was they almost squashed one customer between them, because for some reason the doors wouldn’t reopen (like they would on an elevator if you put your hand in to keep the door open.)

So I have a rather sore back from leaning over the counter constantly all night.  Other than that it was a pretty cool shift.  There’s apparently some major drama going on at work, some rumour that’s just spun completely out of control and has made two of my workmates (good friends), suddenly not get along at all.  I’m just staying way out of it, pretending I don’t know.  I didn’t know anything was happening actually, until I was told last night.  It happened a week ago and the girl nearly lost her job because of it.  I won’t go into details, not important, I just hope they kiss and make up (figureatively speaking).

I was all set to go to gym this morning after having three nights off, when I look in my bag and realise I didn’t pack my singlet.  Great!  Can’t exactly just work out in my work shirt!  I kicked myself cos I remember looking for a shirt to put in there, and I must have gotten distracted by something.  Probably Riri.

The Monday paper came in.  I had a browse.  The political cartoons are sometimes good – of course I especially liked this one.

For those scratching their heads, the doggy (or penguin whatever she is) is our Prime Minister, and she has finally gotten through both the onshore processing and carbon tax policies, and the guy with the big ears in Bob Brown (our Greens leader who is FOR gay marriage) whom she has to listen to as per agreement of her having the winning vote in the last Prime-Ministerial election.
 


I think it will happen one day soon – amid all the uproar when it does from the churches and baby-boomers born in the 18th century.  I try to look past the bullshit that will come from it to a day where no-one batts an eyelid.

I got out of work late because I wasn’t able to go outside all during my shift (I would’ve locked myself out and then royally been stepping in shit), and as I was walking along the footpath I saw this gorgeous bird in the bushes.

You can see his/her friend behind.  They were playing/fighting/mating with each other *shrugs*

I may have taken a shapshot of an animal porno – sorry bout the privacy guys!
 

Kinda bummed I missed my workout, but I tell myself I’ll hit it harder tomorrow, now that I’ve made sure I have a shirt.

I went on grindr cos I saw a stunning guy sitting outside the backpackers, and there was the hope he might be on there.  When it finally logged in, he wasn’t 🙁 but I had 42 messages haha.  Geez I only used it Saturday night!
 
Home now, about to cook up a feast 🙂  I feel like I’m the only person in Australia who cooks up a roast meal at 8am in the morning.
