Nothing’s going right :(

My internet is going so unbelievably SLOW at the moment – just another thing to add to the shitpile of a last 24 hours I’ve had.  Pretty much since I woke up to go to work.  I bus’ed it in because they are still free, and yesterday I renewed my gym membership, so i was looking forward to going again after my shift.

So I leave the house and it’s absolutely PISSING down rain.  I think this city has seen ENOUGH FUCKING WATER lately, but whatever, I had my umbrella that Matt got me for xmas, so it was keeping me relatively dry.  It was that damn heavy though that i thought it was gunna collapse in on me, and the massive electrical storm happening around me wasn’t putting me at ease either, having a what I think is a metal-tip umbrella pointing straight toward the sky.  Oh well I don’t really know how to do my hair up all nice, so maybe a quick lightning strike might’ve styled it for me.

So yeah i get to work alright, no probs there, other than the rain becoming even HEAVIER than I thought it could.  Jumped off the bus and ran to work, which isn’t that far from the stop, but didn’t have a choice but to jump huge puddles.  No I didn’t fall over, but there was so much water that I tried to make a jump and just landed in it.  Even with my new shoes, the water went straight in.  Great.  I hadn’t even started work and I was gunna smell like a giant rat.  Wet socks and the bottom of my trousers were soaked.  I spent the first 5 mins in the bathroom trying to dry them under the hand-dryer lol.  This weather is unreal!  Same as yesterday there was a huge storm as well, but I missed that one because I was still sleeping.  This one happened later in the night, on my commute!

The shift was just busy.  Really busy.  Like seriously people, there’s a god-damn storm on and it’s pissing down, don’t you have anything better to do than hang out at a fucking servo?  It was just annoying me because when it’s that busy I can’t get what I need to do done, and it was one of those nights where as soon as I’d go outside to do my dips and meters, every single fucking a time, a car would drive in.  Every…single….fucking….time, not even a 5 minute break in customers to let me get the shit done.  Once I had it done, it’s fine.  But no!  For some reason, people decide that 3:30-4:30am is a FANTASTIC time to get fuel!  YEAH!  Fuckers.  Then there was the load that I had to put away, which had a 5 litre bottle of motor oil that decided to leak all over, didn’t it?  Yup.  So there’s me ignoring customers cueing up for serving whilst I’m running out to the outside industrial bin to throw that shit in before it leaked all over the store.  THEN, some dumb bitch decides to BACK HER CAR into the stand in front of the pumps.  I guess that’s the reason those stands are there – to protect the actual pumps from being driven into, but JEESH so many people saw it happen.  How the HELL do you not look where you are going when you’re reversing?  Fucking hell – that coulda been a kid or anything.  It’s always a pretty dangerous place the forecourt in a servo because so many fucking idiots drive in so fast and then slam the breaks on as they pull up to the pump.  I could throttle them!  I’ve had to run out of the way so many times when I’m out there doing my jobs I gotta do.  I really wonder how some people get their licenses.  I know my grandma got her license because the constable asked her husband if she could drive.  He said ‘Yep’ and he stamped it.  She wasn’t even there!!  I think my grandma’s not the only one who got in under the radar.

Then my till was out, but I didn’t even care, I just wanted to get out of there – only by til $20.  I was looking forward to venting out my frustrations of the night at the gym.  Put it somewhere productive.  I feel like I haven’t been in a week because of the damn membership running out and my card not letting me in.  But I fixed that up yesterday – went to the gym and had to wait for ages for these dumb bitches who were signing up to fill in all their forms and get their photos taken etc, when mine only took 5 mins after they were gone!  GAH!!  He updated my details and saw him change it so that it wasn’t suspended anymore, and I paid my fee, which I do outright because it’s cheaper without all the fees and shit that come with direct debit.

So imagine my surprise when I swipe my card on the reader at the gym this morning and it doesn’t let me in.  GOD FUCKING DAMN IT CUNT FACE SHIT BARBARA STREISAND!!!  So NOW I have to WAIT til the staff get there at like 9am or some shit and catch the bus BACK there just to get this shit sorted that was meant to be done yesterday.  I’d better get a days credit as well!  Fucking hell why can’t people just do their job properly, the world would be a much better place.

I started crying reading the paper at work last night, about the funeral of Jordan and Donna Rice in Toowoomba yesterday.  The 12 year old boy who asked rescuers to save his 10 year old brother first, and got swept away whilst doing so.  The picture of the husband and that 10-year old on yesterday’s paper is so sad.  Such an amazing and sad story.  Then I read the story about the 12 year old boy who flew up from Melbourne just to help with the clean-up around here.  Unreal.  That put a warm smile on my face.  Part of me was thinking yesterday whilst on the bus ride to work that this heavy rain would be a good thing, as in helping clear up the mud from some areas – I mean I’d be out there with the brooms and treating the rain like a high-pressure cleaner.

So today I’m provising with my tiny crappy weights at home, since I HAVE to.  At least the bus is still free until tomorrow night, so I’m looking on the bright side.  I’m gunna test the fucking card this time though – I ain’t swiping my card over and over just to have the people already inside looking at me in pity – lol, embarrassing.  The perks of a 24-hour gym.

Two shifts to get through, these ones better be better!

Then the morning chick arrived and I just wanted to get out of there
