PIssed off. 1:19AM
Today I'm pissed off.
Two reasons. Neither of which I'm going to tell you about.
Part of being positive and a new rule inforced on me.. is only ten minutes bitching a day. I've used all that up for today .. roll on midnight for tomorrows 10 minutes!! Gnngh
So weekend was good. Have finally got a replacement Matt (new flatmate). Won't say too much more since I'll probably jinx it.. and she'll turn out to be a nut case..
Rest of weekend was cool. Didn't go out either night and got heaps done as a result.
Only other thing to note is hair-dressing incident. Was doing a number 2, as per nomal. Then changed to a number one plastic attachment to tidy up side burns.. only went a little too-far up the side and into normally #2 hair area. So it was a #1 all over. Nice and cold for the sunday bike ride..
my welfare cheque. 1:26AM
So got my US tax return back. Sweet. Although the exchange rate is pretty crap currently it a useful wad of cash
The light bulb man 1:41AM
So on Saturday on the way back into town I had a mini mission to perform.
Jax has needed a lightbulb for her beside lamp for a long time, (like since the dawn of time itself). So Saturday I grabbed the bulb and headed into ""The Lightbulb Man"" to get a replacement one, since they are a funny thread and quite small and you can't buy them any old place.
This is very bizzare little shop in Chews lane (next to the Malthouse). Its stacked floor to ceiling with every light bulb you could imagine and you have to watch where you step in the shop cos theres stuff all over the floor...
So i give him the bulb, he grabs one off the shelf and goes that should be okay..
""15W? are you sure thats enough?""
""Oh I'll get you another""
I give him the current, broken bulb.
""Hang on..""
He then walks outside, in the street, from the shop with literally 1000s of light bulbs in it into the outside light, and checks what wattage the current one is.. like he can't manage to illuminate his shop enough to read a bulb!..
""oh i'll get you the 35W one then.. ""
