Oh thank God

Gay Boyfriend – The Hazards

1…2… Ready, Go….

I’m tired of boys who make me cry
They cheat on me and they tell me lies
The one I love will never stray
When he sees other girls he looks away

And if he never kisses me well thats alright
Coz we can just cuddle all night

(Chorus)
Gay Boyfriend, Gay Boyfriend
I dont really care that you are queer
Gay Boyfriend, Gay Boyfriend
I never feel lonely when you are near

It’ll be a great romance
We’ll go shopping and buy some pants
You don’t care how big my ass is
Just how fabulous my dress is

Chorus

1…2… Ready, Go….

You cry at movies on our dates
Romantic comedies sure are great
But when your sad i’ll dry your tears
Coz i’ll always think that you are fierce

I like cigarettes, and thats no gag
But you’ll always be my favourite fag
You’ll always be my favourite fag
You’ll always be my favourite….

Oh what a relief!  I wasn’t going to, but I did it.  I went to the shops today to buy some fruit (a regular thing I do) and I also checked out the new Borders store.  I bought three magazines from there and the guy behind the counter asked for my email address.  I’d love to join the mailing list, or suddenly have him pop up on my msn adds, either or 🙂  ANyway I bought the new Blue magazine, and only realised today that’s it’s actually Australian, not overseas made like I thought all this time haha (duh matt!), and I bought a netguide and also, get this, a hairstyle mag.  I wanted to try different styles and even though it’s mostly women, it did have a few men on there.  I also signed up to a hairstyle program where I’m now a member for the next three months, and can try out over 3000 styles on my uploaded photo, to see how I look.  I printed a few of them out – I look weird with red hair! hahaha.  It’s good cos it gives you the tip for stying also.  So I’ve gotta make sure I use that site heaps over the next few months and print out as many as possible, so I get my money’s worth – it was $14, but hey, I figured that was okay.  It’s not a program I’ll always need.  I want to get some of the photography software off the netguide magazine though.

Anyway, onto the relief part – no, unfortunately it’s not that type of relief lol.  I walked back in to Big W and wandered around and bought a block of choccie, but before doing so, I went up to the service counter (as a different lady was serving to the one I talked to last week), and asked the lady the same question I’d asked a week earlier – if anyone had handed in a staff discount card.  I wasn’t going to cos I thought I was being a pest, and they claimed they didn’t have it last time, but I thought there might have been a faint chance they cleared the other registers drawers out in that time.  She asked what my name was, and I told her, and as she walked to her drawer, was exclaimed, ‘yes!’.  My heart jumped from it’s slumber stage.  Surprised the hell outta me.  I the told myself, ‘it never hurts to ask’.  I was so proud.  She kept searching and then said, "well it WAS here.  It’s been in there for DAYS.  I only recognised it was yours because of the unusual last name.  They must have sent it up to the cash office".  I stood there at the counter looking stupid and giving a ‘well?’ look, and she finally said, "I can ring cash office now if you’d like" [yes that would be nice thanks], "oh no Maryanne’s gone home for the day, there’s no-one in there."

Great.

So I asked if I could come back tomorrow, and she happily replied, "Yes, I’m on all day tomorrow, pop in anytime."  So I thanked her and told her how relieved I was they had it, becuse I’ve been searching for the damn thing everywhere.  The only thing I’m nervous about now, is that the cash office either a} can’t find it or b} have sent it on to another party!  Geez, I hope that I can just get it back and be on my merry way.  But hey who am I kidding, things never work out for me that way.  I’ll have to treck my way across the country just to get my fucking card back, I can see it now.

I left there with my magazines and block of choccie, and went to the fruit shop.  I was glad to see Apricots had dropped like $10  kilo since last time, so I got a heap of them, and other stonefruit – I love my stonefruit.  Only wish plums were out, but not yet.  The guy who served me was a pretty nice guy, obviously straight and asked if I’d just come from the gym.  Huh?  Did I look that bad?  I knew my hair was messy, but i thought it looked good so I left it like that haha.  I dunno, coulda been a compliment.  I replied, ‘no, but I should hey," and he goes, "I should too, but do you see me going? Hell no".  Funny guy, seemed very easy to talk to, but if you’re working as a cashier, it’s a great asset to have.  I know when I actually listen and go up for registers, communicating helps it pass faster.  Of course you’ll get rude customers…

SPEAKING of – this past work week has been a complete bitch-fest.  I swear I have never heard so many complains from customers.  It was all over the trivialest of things also.  I was starting to think ‘CHRIST, take the pumpkin out of your arse people!!’

Six weeks til my holidays 🙂 YAY!!  God, back dock training this week.  Part of me is hoping it doesn’t eventuate.
