Ever have the feeling you've suddently walked into an alternate dimension? Like today, I go to the convience store near the pharmacy and am faced with a really odd situation. There's an asian man in a track suit listening to Polka. "Fine" I think, as Polka has got to have fans. I see him doing squats with the beat in the corner of my eye as I operate the ATM.

Some whirring, clicking and a $1.50 transaction fee later I notice a small door about the right size for an Oompa Loompa behind which I spy some rather kinky looking adult videos, especially for up here in Suberia. I buy my milk, butter and bread and wish the man a good day. Maybe it's my acclimatization to the sterile and predictable layout of 7-11's trans-globally but this struck me as sorta unusual.

The interview went strangely. They wanted me to be a baker because, you see, I am not a slutty girl with an attitude and ergo cannot work storefront. Anyhow, I need to phone in my reference's phone number. I find this a preturbing amount of work for a job I'm pretty positive I'll dislike (bad people + bad atmosphere = unhappy Brodie) but then I think of people in third world countries and whatnot and straighten-up my act.

And yeah, complaining about the weather is pretty futile but what the fuck? It's nearly mid-March and we're still getting buckets of snow! *vents like a spaceship landing on the surface of an alien world*

That is all.

"Daddy, *I* want an oompa loompa!"

F-in weird, you sure no fun drugs were involved? hehe.

Working with people isn't all that it is cracked up to be. I would rather be a baker than storefront any day! You can do your own thing as baker and avoid all the weirdos!
