Things I have noticed while unemployed

May 9th, 2011

 

No alarms

  • Either my local church is having AA meetings or they hold a special scumbag service on weekdays.
  • During the week, you notice a lot of middle-class junkies around Surry Hills/Darlinghurst. These are the junkies who have graduated to an all-tracksuit wardrobe, but they are not yet living on the street or robbing 7-Eleven’s. They usually go to score with their bf or gf and they’re quite thin and always have a dog.
  • There is an entire house full of trannies on the street behind mine.
  • My gay next-door neighbour also appears to be unemployed but neither of us is willing to admit it.
  • West Wing goes foooorrevvaa.
  • Despite having 11 extra hours at my disposal every day, I eat a lot more when I’m not working and I go to the gym less.
  • I really like candles and slurpees?
  • The scummy workmen around the corner fill our recycling bin with empty chinese food containers every week after garbage night.
  • If there’s no real need to shower before 5pm, why press the issue.
  • The closest I have come to actual insanity was when my neighbour played this song on repeat for an entire day and a night. I cried and started looking at rental properties online.

With all that free time on your hands, you’ve got a perfect opportunity to become a vigilante crime fighter/spy. And every good spy/church-spy needs one of these:

Was the neighbour having an emotional breakdown? …. because that song is terrible.
If I had an office or any actual power anywhere, I would hire you.

I watched Dear John – I don’t remember that song. I couldn’t even get all the way through the youtube clip, and I normally love sappy stuff like that. Anyway, I think I had a point in here somewhere…

Those cunty workmen make us look like bad recyclers?! I’m gonna take next Monday morning off just to give them a piece of my mind. By that I mean nervously and overly politely begin to raise the issue before retreating into an ill-informed conversation about mortar.

Wow. I passed atleast half a dozen of these couples on my way to work today. Exactly.
