So a fifty something woman comes into work today when my Manager was on lunch, she had black died hair with a purple streak, and a purple dress... and she asks in a heavily accented forigners voice: "Are you new manager?" And I replied with: "No the managers on lunch at the moment" *smile* (this is customary) Then she said: "You look like youd do better on stage play guitar" To which I replied "lol (I did lol) Well actually I play drums" Then she nudged me and did that face old people do when they are being mischievous and said "Ahh good!... this must be horrible for you" *points vaugley at shop* To which I replied "I get by" ...Then she left. lol... Old people are great.
Also I had a moment today on the bus, and im sure Meggy will appreciate this. It was raining at the bus station. Then when I got on the bus it was sunny, but it was rainy and ominous ahead... which was cool... then when we got into the heavy rain bit... I realised that the song I was listening to was actually 27 mins long... and I also had about 10 mins of bus travel left... and I just felt safe in that I had that much time to exist in this little box thats travelling through the soaked streets towards darkest grey clouds and hills. And then I focused on the water running down the window... and everything outside was just a blur zipping past as quickly as it came. There was something humbling about that. It was a contented smile moment, and I need more of them.
JT should be here soon. Im going to town. Hope I am warm enough.
