well, the penguin had to do something about the pelican. the squirrel has spoken.

these horrid monday morning shifts are going to eventually break me i can see it. it's not the shift itself that will do the breaking though, it'll be everything else associated with the shift. things like my stupid energy sapping, slouchng, scuffing and mumbling twat scratch of a manager and his inability to make a proper Merch order, and then have the gall to complain about the ends not being complete. then there's the crazy monday morning traffic. brisbane drivers are disgusting! i am reminded every time i go driving why i took so long to bother about it. even cycling isn't what it used to be thanks to the traffic. i'm forced to dodge pedestrians (who are just as deadly as cars you know) while riding at minimum speed along the footpath, which makes the ride virtually useless to me. whether i drive or ride, it still takes forever to get home. this makes little sense to me, as the it is normally only a 30minute ride, unless it is monday morning, wherein it will take 40-50minutes.

if none of those two things break me, perhaps the fuzzy feeling of being awake for almost 2 days (sleeping on a sunday is almost impossible with the Monkey around) and when the sun rises i get that 'daydream scene from a movie' filter across my vision. everything, even the horrid traffic and my useless lump of flesh of a manager, look better with this filter on. i think there is only so much of the 'everything is just a dream' thing that i can handle though, especially where the troglodytic grocery wanker is concerned. i really don't like the idea of having my mind start thinking of him as part of my dreams. if i want nightmares, i'll go back to the ones i was having a few years ago, at least they were interesting and caused the creation of some fabulous word sketches. all tim does is make me want to dry retch with disgust, and cause the ink in my pen to leak.

there is of course the other fact of the 'cleansing ale' to wind down from a nasty 8 hour graveyard shit, eh, shift. not that i've cracked a cold one open this morning, or evening...whatever, but it will most likely happen. it happens most nights when i finish work. not all, but most (this is made easier now that i only have 3 shifts a week). i'm almost convinced that if i start conditioning myself to drink at this hour of the day, even if it is just one glass to wind down after work, i may condition myself to do it EVERY day. beer and cornflakes (or breakfast food of the moment) doesn't sound all that appealing to me (unlike the maple syrup i added to my chicken legs last night. very very nice indeed!). that could be my breaking point right there if the dream sequence involving 'tim the tool' doesn't first.

actually, i think the forcing myself to stay awake for the whole smegging day is what'll do it. if the biol faclty could just can their monday classes for me, that'd be very very nice. that way, pots won't have to bugger off ten minutes after i get home to tutor the plebs while i sit here bleary eyed and wondering where my brain went - assuming it ever existed. why do people feel the need to cram as much biology into their heads at 10am on a monday of all days? surely, as students, they understand the benefits of the 'sleep in' and feel the need to untilise this commodity as often as possible...right? ah, who'm i kidding! i know for certain that those won't be the classes i'll be taking if i'm still doing this shift next year.

ugh. i gotta find something to do that'll prevent my untimely collapse that will allow the monkey free reign of the house. two year olds and lack of supervision are neither welcome nor ideal.

til next....

Morning classes should be banned. They go against the whole ethics of being a student.

last semester i had 9am classes. they killed. especially when it takes an hour by public transport (once you get on it. getting to it is a whole other can of worms) to get to uni and you're practically obsessed about being early for everything
oh and it takes like an hour for me to get ready in the mornings. i know, ages. but it always has
