Am I becoming obsessive compulsive?

Correction: Am I becoming more obsessive compulsive?

I have a few idiosyncrasies, for example:

• A tin can must have its label removed before it can be opened.
• The safe door at work must be opened fully.
• Tins with lids (eg Milo, instant coffee) must be opened with the handle of a spoon, NOT with the bowl of a spoon!

But I think that it is getting worse!

• Last week IGA had John West lemon and cracked pepper tuna on special for $1. No-one EVER has John West tuna on special.  So - 5 IGA's and 75 cans later. I have about three months worth of lunches!
• I have discovered that I really do not like the tear-off bits on perforated dot-matrix printer paper. It has to be torn off immediately after printing. I figured this out because there was an invoice the other day that had the dots but not the perforation - and I contemplated using scissors to cut them off!

Had a weird experience with a new crew member at McDonald's on the weekend. I was working overnight (dawn) as usual.

This girl, after working with me for about an hour had decided that:

• I was gay, becuase: "You have a mortgage and you are not married"; and
  
• I cry myself to sleep at night, because "You said 'owie' when you hit your thumb"
  

She is more of a freak than I am.


Weird!

My Lederhosen arrived - they only took eight days to arrive from Baveria!


I want to wear them all the time - Currently they are sitting about 1.5m from my computer and I turn around and stroke them occasionally because they are sooo great to feel.

I will post a picture as soon as I can!

I am really enjoying the word 'easement' at the moment - especially when you say it with a long E: eeeeasement. It is right up there with 'tributary'

Well the 'race that stops the nation' did not stop me.

Apart from the fact that the Melbourne cup is in another state, is pointless, and is dead boring; I actually had quite a lot of work to do.

At the moment there are folks at some beer company running a petition to make the afternoon of Melbourne cup a national public holiday.

The problems with this are:

1. Public holidays are about to become a thing of the past anyway with the new IR laws;
2. People will still have to work in the retail/entertainment industry - and a public holiday would mean public holiday rates leading to more expensive parties etc.

I would prefer to have a show day holiday than a horse race holiday.

Also, there were three deaths on the roads last night. Maybe unrelated but I would have expected to see the RBTs out in force - and I did not see any. hmmmm

Why do all the restaurants close early on Sunday nights?

After church tonight I was hungry. A search of the entertainment book™ was fruitless so I decided to go to the West Thebbie Hotel. The bistro at WTH is quite good, I knew that they served kangaroo (One of my dining requirements) and I had heard on the radio that they serve food until 4am.

When I arrived the waitress told me that the dinner menu had finished at 8:30pm, but if we wanted to wait we could buy from the midnight menu. The midnight menu starts at nine.

How stupid is it to have a half hour envelope of time where you do not serve food!

I went to Cafe da Vilis instead. I had their lasagne. It was quite good.
