never wud have thought id be thinking "oh, 9am isn´t such a bad time to have to get up tomorrow morning"

the other day it went..

6am wake up

7.10am leave house in freezing cold and dark

7.25am read bus stop, find out earliest bus from main town to my work town is now at 8.35 arriving at 9. cross over road and sit in shitty bus shelter, cursing

7.50am get bus to Tesco. journey time 50 seconds (timed). journey cost $3.80. walk up to Tesco, it´s closed till 10am. walk to mcdonalds, spend $10 on breakfast

8.35am get bus to work. journey 8-10 minutes, cost $5.20.

9am arrive at work already exhausted and depressed


what pissed me off today was seeing a 1-2 minute advert on british tv inbetween Carry On Cowboy. it was EXACTLY in the style of one of those "save the dying children in africa" adverts, except it was for DONKEYS. i actually loled half way thru it was so surreal and pathetic. with that sad music and emotional imagry and video footage of a burdened donkey, toiling its load then lying down in the desert sun gasping for breath, just 3gbr/month can help improve a suffering donkeys life for good.

WTF

theres a similar thing in the Home i work, a big pamthlet in multiple places, with the words "Dónt forget the neglected domestics animals when you come to write your will" followed by pictures of terry the puppy (and many others) who was restored to health thanks to your donations.
