Bona fide interestings:
Today a couple of interesting things happened. Let’s face it, it’s been a while, so I thought I’d share.
I went to the RTA in Liverpool: Home Of The Ugly to have my licence changed to a NSW one. Apparently though, I already had a NSW licence in addition to my WA one, so when they tried to put it through, the computer wouldn’t let them. Then they brought out a senior person to try to do it. (At the RTA you can tell the senior people because they’re even ruder and fatter than the person you first spoke to.) The senior person just looked at me and asked if I was on ‘good behaviour.’ I gathered that she was talking about a good behaviour bond with the police or something, but I said “No, I’m always well-behaved!” anyway so she would have to ask me twice. I am not on a fucking good behaviour bond. Anyhow, it took a call to some dude somewhere who knew how to work the computer properly and they finally put my licence through. Cow Number One asked me to smile for the camera, but I wasn’t in the mood so the photo came out as more of a constipated grimace. Lame experiences at the RTA, hey!
I also went to target and bought some jeans that fit almost perfectly, and for only thirty bucks. That’s a first. Then I went to Big W and decided to try on a matching set of casual shirt and chic woolen v-neck vest, ‘cept the attendant girl busted in on me, sans shirt, while she was trying to get at some stock they’d stashed in the cubicle. It was pretty hilarious actually. I was thinking of witty and suave things to say to her on the way out, but she was lamely on the phone.
OK, that’s all.

Oh yeah, and stop dissin the good behaviour bond. Alan Jones is on one. They’re terribly chic!

Yeah, I’m gonna be stalking her around the Big-W fitting rooms now. Trying on different things every day, you know, just in case she wants to hop in with me. btw, nothing that Alan Jones does is chic. By definition.

Half naked mark? Lucky lady! ;)
My driver’s liscense has a horrible picture as well. I think it’s because they tell you to smile, and you start to reconsider your facial expression. Then right in the middle, bam! they take your picture.
Of course it’s probably pretty boring there, so they probably do it on purpose just for laughs.

Big W, them auto check out bays are pretty nifty were it not for the fact that you some times forget where the notes of change dispense.

Jeez, if we could only get Julia to behave herself. ;)
I have to renew my license this year I dread it more and more all the time. Isn’t it funny how the license place people are the same all over the world? I wonder if there’s some sort of international training program they have for their employees.

Julia - yes! that’s exactly how it happens. Just when you’re in the middle of changing your facial expression they take the photo, and you end up looking like a twat.
Switch - I should try those things next time. Do they let you steal stuff from them?
Becky - Mmm. Public service malaise. I say just go and get it done, but allow plenty of time. Or go really early in the morning when it’s less busy and they’ve just had their coffee.

Can’t remember the last time walking through the self check out bays that the alarm went off. So, possible.
