Yay for weekly Karlski blessays - you DO entertain me!

Weirdly I experienced the same thing within the staff at city Myer. I was on the "dungeon level" working in the food hall and as a result copped attitude from staff from the other floors who seemed to be under the impression they should be served first on their lunch break over the other people waiting in queue. The number of times I wanted to say "get over yourself you're just a shop girl"... Ah the trials of wearing an apron instead of a suit ;)

And I'm with you on the pointy shoes. I always have the urge to step on the very tip of the toe just as they try to walk off...muahahhaha.

Pointy-toed shoes suck, and so do people who wear them.

My favorite part 1 is when the parrot regurgitated a disgusting mix of neo-maoist crap blended with the leavings of a unionist's song book. What's next? The parrot will think that he deserves a mandated minimum wage and might even want benefits like paid leave? Hilarious!

1: Warning, here be satire (ie nothing like my real opinion).

Pardon me while I fetch the shovel, so I can dig myself out of this knee-deep pool of sarcasm that some inconsiderate person seems to have left lying around...

Really? Oh no I hate it when the sarcasm gets left out. So much mess.

Woot! Serialised Karlski-rants FTW!

Pointy shoes are hideous.

All of my other thoughts re: your rant about wankers are all in agreement but far too sketchy and incoherent in comparison your impressive wordy-ness. So I'll just scratch thoughtfully.
