take 2...
well, that is a hectic week. did some shopping at good o' market city, have a couple of retail horror stories to tell, spent the week seeing friends and catching up...rounding up, all in all. caught up with catherine on thursday...dinner with usyd bunch on wed, bummed at james' work on sunday, list goes on...
it's kinda funny when you go all the way to somewhere far like the city only to end up at supre buying clothes...but hey, at $10 for a jacket, and $10 for a jumper that costed $40 in chatswood, it's not so bad!
we started friday off with taking a few sisterly posed photos on the balcony before driving out to derrr's work where i picked up an all-important usb charger for the ipod journey ahead. thanks derrr :D i'll e' the money to your offshore, untraceable secret account in due course. *shit, shouldn't have said account*...*shit, shouldn't have said secret*...*shit, shouldn't have said untraceable*...
parked at market city and i was about to start my day getting a nz icecream fruit flo in a cone. anyway, the girl put the ingredients in the machine and out came...GOOOP! half melted, splattered, and none-too-pleasing to the eye.
a: um, i'm not taking that...
b: well, the icecream comes out and because it's not very frozen...
a: sorry, i am not paying for THAT
b gives a a dirty look and turns to speak to the boss, still holding the half melted cone, and returns holding the cone and an empty cup in other hand
b: i put this in a cup for you instead if you don't like the cone
a: no, i'm not going to pay for that. i'm going to walk away
b: i have already made it and it doens't go in cone
a: that's not my responsibility, you can't serve people that
b gives another dirty look and whispers something to the c. c comes to the counter
c: i can put this in cup for you
a: i don't want a cup, i want a cone
c: well it does not fit in cone
a: no, i don't want that...
c: i have already make it so...
a: i'm not paying for that
c: well i have already make it, you have to take it
a: no i don't, i am going to walk away now. bye
c: but i have made this and you asked for it so...
a: that's not my problem. i don't want that anymore. bye
i'm not sure if they have ever successfully bullied anyone into taking sub-standard items and making them pay for it. but i admire their firm belief that since i asked for a cone they can serve me bullshit in a cup and make me pay full price. caveat emptor indeed...
kenny, it's not carpe diem!!!
but at least the shopping was fun!
i met up with the girls from work for drinks, then dinner w/ kenny's group and watched fearing and loathing in las vegas. it was a scatterbrain, drugged out film. very funny though!
going to meet up with james...
hadn't packed yet
4 days to go...
