halfway down the stairs at my Richmond house
(also titled – ‘how to hide irrepairably damaged walls’)
IT. IS. TOO. HOT.
Spare a thought for all those customer service people out there that have to deal with Melbourne’s grumpy sleep-deprived population this morning.
salesgirl – ‘Hello, how are you today?!’
customer – ‘fine’ (in a tight voice)
salesgirl – ‘Oh… isn’t that cushion pretty?!’ (brightly)
customer – ‘i could easily make one’ (dismissively)
Pause
salesgirl – ‘Are you coping with the heat? It’s crazy, huh?!’ (sympathetic)
customer – ‘i like the heat’ (flatly)
salesgirl ‘oh’ (weakly)
xx mikes
yikes! I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in years (small children) & I manage to mind my manners!!
life is too short to be grumpy all the time
It’s just about manners really. Do you sing the songs as you walk past each day?
yummy blog…lots off neat things here so glad I discovered you…Jennifer
Yes, I agree..There are some human shop assistants out there, people with lives & loves & interesting point of view. People who are interested in the things they sell and the things you buy.
Don’t get me started..Oh you have.
We have feelings too you know!

I’ve heard people say that looking at a picasso…
