Ignorance is your new best friend...

Good morning unicorn lovers and troll eaters,

I find myself sitting at work, already dreading the escapades which will happen during the course of the day. It's raining outside, it's colder than a dog's nose, and all I want is my warm bed. Anyway, now time for my rant...

Metrorail, the South African transport/train system, who from henceforth shall be referred to as MetroFail, are a bunch of complete tossers. Yesterday the train was late, it's been late or cancelled every day these last few weeks, and that means that in a coach where only about 100 people are supposed to fit, there was now 200+ crammed into it. I found myself a nice corner near a door and was content to stay there (with an open window to breathe). All was well until we hit Salt River Station. There must have been a seafood buffet because the doors opened and about 9 women, all fairly large, decided to get into the coach, followed by a reeking smell of squid and other non-delicacies. It was like trying to squeeze 9 whales into a sardine tin. I've never seen so many bodies bounce and wiggle, it was as if their skin was doing the Mexican wave, all together. I have nothing against large women, I like some curves myself, but having them get on that crowded train already was more than I could handle. One of them held their handbag under my nose and all I could smell was fish. I'm sure it was alive and more than likely screaming for mercy for it knew what fate had in store for it. Anyhow, reaching my station I made my move and squeezed to the exit, and with some necessary shoving and really unnecessary cropdusting, I found myself at the door, only to be pushed back in by an entourage of really dumb people trying to get in the train. I lost it and shoved back, making my exit behind curses and a little fish fighting for his life. Wait for the people to get off the train before getting on, you morons. Ah, the beauty of stupidity.

Theme song for the day: Paramore - Ignorance.

I'm craving a poker game, I have itchy fingers to win. Hmm, which makes me think - If you have an itchy finger and an itchy nose at the same time, which do you scratch first? And if you scratch your nose with your finger, will that alleviate both itches at the same time?

Well, that's it from my side. Back to the mines to work in the dark.

Later daze,

Dekkle.
