I Did some work. pretty high skill work.
I sorted screws for a few hours.
Ha yeah i did a bit more than that. but mainly it was lifting things sorting things and cleaning things. I dont mind because i'm being paid 18 bucks an hour. or atleast i was. it was only for two days. It netted me 270 bucks. That was great because it pays for my public liability insurance so that when i get my busking license on Tuesday i will actually have insurance which.. tends to be important when its one of the things they specifically ask of you.
It was pretty uneventful. I waited at the stop. There was a pretty girl in a brown dress at the stop. That was cool.
Pretty much i got on the tram (green) toddled to the train (blue) toddled along the train then pissed around when i got off because i couldnt find the bus stop that was supposed to get off and no one knew where it was and nothing showed me where it was. i found it eventually and got to work late.
worked all day. Sorted screws, cleaned, blah blah.
On my way home i was told to get on at the wrong side of the tracks. I didn't realise this and fell asleep on the train.
Purple is the route i did.
Now. i'll just note that that picture pretty much encompasses all of melbourne. A city of 4 million. Going to Craigieburn was akin to going to Rangiora from Burnside or Aramoana from The Octagon.
Fuck that cunt who told me to get on the wrong side.
But the silver lining is that once i got to melbourne i was in a bit of a shitty mood. understandably. But i got to the tram that would take me home and there was a familiar face waiting alongside me. That girl in the brown dress. So we got to talking. Her name is Shannon We actually got on really well. We took the same tram home and yarned the whole way. it was good to talk to a stranger so amiably. I got her number and perhaps we will go get a beer sometime.
That was Thursday.
Friday i figured i wouldn't fucki up the whole public transport thing because i would learn from yesterday
Oh ho ho no.
Then i took a ride to Footscray (red cross) where i needed to catch a connecting bus. I was sitting at the bus stop when a drunk guy rambled up and took my skateboard. He ran for a while and then tried to start skating. But he was either too drunk or not a keen skater and couldnt get the speed to get away from me.
I caught him and pushed him off my board. He hit his head on a post on the way down and i took my board back. By this point i had missed my bus and the drunk dude was shouting at me and there was a significant lump growing on his forehead. I didnt want to deal with him or the stares i was getting to i skated along the line to wait at a bus stop further down the road.
I got on the bus and the green cross is where i shouldve stopped but of course i missed my stop and went to the end of the line. again.
I finally got to work... But yeah. i managed to take one line of public transport that day without any problems. and i got to work an hour and a half late.
Melbourne weather is nuts. Itll be sunny and within a minute literally a minute it will be pouring absolutely pouring.
then it will be sunny again.
Then out of nowhere, and i know the picture doesn't show it well, but it hailed SO FUCKING HARD. so hard cars stopped. so hard that it was enough to make snowballs. You can see it all piled up against the wall there.
Then it was sunny again.
WTF melbourne?
I know i don't look like the best kept fellow but its nuts how many stares i get when i enter a room. Melbourne people seem to have an eagle eye for who has entered a room and fuck their stares are drilling.
Yeah so that was La la land.
We went to the only bar in australia that you can smoke in.
