2004-01-08 - 6:01 p.m. I got blown to the Jobcentre today. I wrapped up in some ridculous outfit that made me look like a cross between the Michelin Man and an old lady, and huddled at the bus-stop waiting for the hourly bus to one of our local towns. Some girl/woman was standing there, so we made polite conversation about the weather. I've noticed using public transport in these here parts forces me to communicate with the locals. I am a local, having lived here all my life, but I don't really consider myself to be one because I don't socialise or associate with any others. Anyway, I am not sure what bus ettiquette is, but when you arrive at a bus-stop it only seems polite to acknowledge whoever is already standing there. In London I would rarely, very rarely, do this... well that is unless it was some sweet old lady. Sweet old ladies seem to have a thing about me, I am not sure why. I'm a sweet old lady magnet, hey life can't all be bad. On waiting for the return bus, I managed to magnetically attract one of my sweet old ladies, she was very feisty and upon being told my story about a girl pushing me in Argos (happened last year, but was relevant to our conversation) she said: "I'd have told her to piss off". At which point I stared at the sweet old lady and decided that maybe she wasn't very sweet afterall. She perhaps came under the category of Supergran, if anyone remembers who she was. I guess I just have one of those faces, that people feel is approachable and that's why no matter who they be.. old, young, male, female, alien... they feel the necessity to talk to me about anything and everything. Anyway, the Jobcentre part went ok. They want me to apply for a part-time job as a Tourist Information Office Assistant. Ummm yeah, whatever! So I will do that and see what happens. Knowing my luck I will get the job, but it sounds quite easy and I am sure I can extoll the virtues of these here parts to unsuspecting tourists... not! My favourite tourists have to be the Japanese, they are so polite and respectful. They think anything that is historic, quaint or cultured - or preferably all 3 - is amazing and worth standing in front of for "Japanese style foto". They always seem to travel in herds, usually accompanied by some kind of Japanese tour guide, who upon pointing out local attractions is greeted with an oriental style "ahhhhh" followed by an "waaoooor" kind of noise. They also like spending lots of money on bags, scarves and Scottish things. Unfortunately I don't think we get many Japanese tourist around here. So yeah I visited the Jobcentre and then I went and got my gerbils their food and some treats for my dog from the petshop. I was just walking past NewLook when I saw they had loads of trousers in the sale, so I went in and bought a pair for �7.50, which I thought was rather bargainous. I also saw my thighs in the changing room mirror and have felt depressed since then. I went into Tescos and bought a slimming magazine to inspire me on my diet, but all the women in there have lost like 50 pounds or whatever so it just made me feel worse! That's about it for today, just been sleeping otherwise and lying around feeling bored and hormonal whilst trying not to think of tasty snackfood that I could be consuming. |
