Geography...

Work, work, work.

Here I am, standing in my ever so lovely net-café again, doing FA, and earning a decent wage for it.

You see the strangest things here. The other day, some snazzy looking bloke walked in with his sports bag, his blond hair, his "I'm the chairman of the Tennis/Golf/Yacht club" outfit and poise, his ever so cocky attitude for the "common serf" and an aura of arse1.

And what does he do?

He walks to the back of the café. Chooses the dodgiest computer he can find, and looks up every single sleezy internet porn site the web can throw at him. In other words: He uses the internet for what it's there for.

What bothers me, is that every now and then, the guy opens tax sites, and housing price sites, and even looks at his stocks...

Who the hell does that while browsing porn!? That's sick!2

And just before, a guy walked in with a tin of cat-food.

I know for a fact this guy doesn't have a cat. Nor has he been home for maybe a week... And judging by the smell, nor has he had a shower in that time.

Does anyone really need more proof that the internet is evil? It's why I love it so! ^^

Anyway. It's a nice day outside. It's not raining for the first time in a while, which, judging by where Denmark is actually located, is somewhat of a feat!

Allow me to enlighten you a bit on geography.

England is the worlds largest producer of rain. In fact, I'm pretty sure they invented it. Now. Given the nature of the western world, we tend to produce way more than we need. So the english obviously have a surplus of rain.

The majority of which, they apparently export to Denmark. And judging by the ammount, we got it cheap to. Cus the government seems to be buying it in bulk. And it's a funny thing with that. Denmark is flat. It's not like we can rid of the stuff again. It just lies there. Which might go a long way to explain why. after having several tons of geography fall on your heads daily, and you have nothing you didn't make yourself to look at, people might begin to look down upon such things as geography and meteorology. And not just because they're walking on one, and being soaked by the other. It's probably because it doesn't look like real science.3

But, in all regards. Today is nice. The sun is shining, improving the odds that someone will get sun cancer, and in general, forcing everyone to go outside and pretend they're actually enjoying it, instead of sitting indoors doing what they actually wanted to do4.

And what does this mean!?

Less work for me! So yet again, I'm confirmed in my suspicion, that this really is the coolest job in the world.

Ahh, life is sweet! =P

Cheers!

1 You know the type. Every kid who ever went to school has met the "I'm so fucking important, you cant even begin to describe how fucking important I am, without saying fuck alot..." type of guy... This was him. Or a relative of his.
2 No mention will be made of how I know all this, or about the nifty "view screen" function I have at the register, that allows me to see what anyone in the café are seeing...
3 You know, the kind you use to give something 3 extra legs, and then blow it up. Which seems to be what science is about these days.

Society at large tends to frown upon people who don't conform with the masses, regardless of how silly the masses are behaving at the given moment.

Hey Tim
Your writing is really funny, man! Like a working class Terry Pratchett.
You know, there's so many people who think they can write, and it's just this boring drivel that makes you wanne set your eyes on fire, but this is really very funny. Keep up the good work.
BTW, there's a link to jhonen vasquez's blog from my link section if you're interested.
