Lesson Twenty Six - Indifference, Rain and Overdrive

Hey all. Well it's now Christmas Eve! And I have been, well, I have been reasonably good this year. All my shopping is done, all my presents are ready to be given out. All that remains is to survive the family tomorrow.
It was surprisingly wet and rainy today. So much for summer eh? But I guess it's good because there's been a few fires lately, this will be good relief for the people suffering up there and for the fire fighters. I hope it keeps like this for them.
So many things that I think matter to me seem to not matter to others. I hate this feeling of indifference, I find it even harder to turn away when it happens. I feel like shit every time. Unless I actually find something to really care about, I cannot stop. It sucks. I hope this feeling goes away too. I don't like feeling like this so close to Christmas. Well in all fairness, the only one who can make me feel bad about another's indifference towards me, is ultimately myself. So here's to strength and will power!
And whilst we're on the subject of strength and will power:

Lesson - Patience is a virtue, but we're only human.

I was so exhausted because of the full day and early start on a Sunday no less, I had two bottles of V and was pumped and in overdrive. So close was I to verbally barraging some people who didn't finish their shopping sooner. I was pissed they were taking it out on me. Fortunately this only happened a few times. Everyone else was in a pretty good disposition. One other crap thing though was it is a Sunday and I had to start work at 8am! And let me tell you something the only people at a shopping centre like this at 8am are old people. Which brings me to this conclusion:

Lesson - Old people don't buy video games.

Well there are some that do. One old lady asked me for an XCube 360. I was thoroughly confused when she brought me a PS2 game she wanted to buy for it. Aiyaiyai!
Well, it wasn't all bad. I am thinking of course of the dollars I will be making from this. $180 away from sufficient money for my Sydney trip! I got to start booking accommodations and letting my friends up there know I am coming back soon and that I cannot wait to see them.


Well, that's it for now. Take care of yourselves and have a Merry Christmas, even if you don't celebrate, enjoy the day.
