Sinister: nice day for a post
You know your day is gonna be good when, you know how a ring of keys sometimes come undone on their own and keys drop out, well my keys did that last week and I never bothered to put them back together, but today after putting both bits of the keyset into my pocket they miraculously slotted themselves back together all on their own. Now I have just one, whole, set of keys again and I'm happy. Later on I received some lovely stuff through the post, I thought I had my own stalker when I opened my door today and a guy was standing there, but it was just the postman giving me a bunch of posts. One of the posts was a nagging mail from scottish powers about how I haven't yet paid my gas bills, which wasn't particularly good news except - I noticed that the cheating bastards had used "estimated" values (i.e. they were too lazy to actually come round and check my meters and so they just GUESSED how much gas I used) - and their guestimates were like 3 times too much so I can phone them now and my bill will be cut by a third. :) Speaking of cutting short... There's a lady in the office here who is really small, like about 4 feet tall. I never noticed how little she was, maybe she was below my line of sight, or maybe I just have a shortcoming in observations... there was this other girl in my office, who I just knew had something wrong with her, something that's not quite right about her but I could never figure out what it was, until one day, it hit me like a giant mallet, that she had a giant mullet! In true 80s news presenter style too, with a pair of 80s news presenter glasses. Anyhow, when I walked past the 4 foot lady earlier today I suddenly wondered what it would be like if I were reeeally short (like even shorter than I am now) - I'd be really seeing things from a different perspective, and how convenient it'd be to be able to burrow through things rather than having to go round them because I'd be so small. Or what if I were reeeally tall (like even taller than i am now)? Like I can tip-toe and I can immediately see things over a huge brick wall.. In our office, where the photocopier is they have a few these 6' tall cupboards that formed a cubicle-like thing around the copier, the walls are just high enough so that anyone above 6 foot can casually spy around the office over the cupboards whilst bearing the photocopying chores - everyone else would have to either tip-toe really hard, or (*gasp*) jump to see anything, which incidentally would make one look, eloquently put, like a prick. Not that I've tried. And if I were very tall would I also start spending my whole life counting how many bits of dandruff people have just because I can see their scalps?
