CAPITAL LETTERS - I just unleashed the fury on your eyes

Hello friends of the Interwebular Flux Capacitors....I would like to apologise for taking so long between blogs... Half of the reason for the delay is that I am quite busy at the moment with work and socialising and the other half is that I don't like to write if I don't have something to write about, other wise it is possibly boring.

As some of you know, I work at Big W, where my current job description is "a target for middle management hostility", fuck love you Woolies <3.

An EXTREMELY DEPRESSING place to work, although I will have to put this down to the people who work there (mostly) and the incompetent management staff...bar one.

In my (thats right, my) shopping centre there is a Gloria Jeans (which I had envisioned), and whilst on break the other day I decided to go and get myself a Large Tim-Tam frapa-macciat-chino (in the same league as my awesome "A Straw-Bana-ngo Smoothy") anywho, because Gloria Jeans is cheap as all hell (not literally), they impose a minimum spend of $10 when paying via EFTPOS.

To avoid spending more than I need to at Gloria Jeans (the GJ lounge - dane cook ftw), I took money out to pay in cash, I did and I got a handful of change.

Near the register there is a donation box, and I really dislike carrying around change, so I donated all my silver's into the box - all 25c of them (thats all I had).

Pretty much straight after donating my money, I realised I am one cheap motherfu- bastard, or am I?

I mean how much do you have to give NOT to feel cheap?

You really can't win when you think about it, you either give too little or too much, I think if you give more than 5 dollars, you feel like you've given too much, if you give < $5 you feel like you have given too less...

I think the loss is like giving money to a raggley looking mofo Hobo, you feel good for a brief moment, then realise it's actually Tony Abbot in three months time (tops) not the hobo you thought he was and you realise you have just failed.

Alternatively its like buying a PS3 on eBay, paying $100 below RRP, boasting about how awesome you are for getting such a great deal, only to have a Gen 1 PS2 arrive - you just got pwned by jerkwads...you fail.

Say hi to your mum for me -
