mcdonalds have got a hide!
i always order my mcdonalds in a way that ensures freshness and usually get what i want, but yesterday it was different.

in the drive through.........

me: yes a big mac with half the usual amount of sauce and no pickles thanks and........... (then i saw on the screen that my order of "half the usual amount of sauce" was listed as "light tartare sauce: .40c" and that the "no pickles" was listed as "remove pickles")...

me: errr...sorry do i have to pay extra to have less sauce on my big mac?

her: i'm sorry sir but yes.

me: you mean to tell me that i have to pay more for less?

her: sorry sir but that's the price for light tartare sauce.

me: i didn't order "light tartare sauce". i ordered "half the usual amount of sauce"

her: sorry sir but i can't change the prices.

me: oh well! just give me full sauce and i will scrape it off myself!!

her: so no light tartare sauce?

me: no.

me: also, what do you mean by "remove pickles" ?

her: you asked for no pickles.

me: that's right. i didn't ask for a burger with pickles and for you to remove them.

her: that's the way they come out of the kitchen sir.

me: so the chefs just blindly put pickles on the burgers and can't be interfered with by any special request ?

her: no sir.

me: well leave the pickles on it and i'll take them out in the car park when i eat it (implying littering with pickles which is a common problem in mcdonalds car parks).

me:...... better that than to have peoples grubby hands pawing all over it ! !

her: no problem sir. anything else?

me: (rest of my order)

what a damned hide!! !

the world is a crazy place.

i would like to have a mozaic of pictures on a wall somewhere that explores the sociological idea of "flights into surprise".

in my scenario, i would like to take a series of pictures of people who i am dealing with in the public, and chart their inevitable facial development from complacency into surprise.

so for example, if i am dealing with a bank teller, i would finish my business and then suddenly produce a camera with a flash and snap their photo. then roughly 2 seconds later, snap a second shot to capture the development of their expression of surprise. when they have regained their mental footing, snap a third shot to capture their attitude about being photographed for no reason and then go and paste the pictures up on the mozaic wall.

this could be done with so many people. bakers, butchers, takeaway shop people etc.

the next step would be videos. video montages of people's hostile reactions to being filmed would be compelling viewing.

My next door neighbour has been scraping off the wallpaper in his front room, just a couple of feet from where I'm sitting in front of my desktop.

Stoppitttt!

It's depressing looking up Myna Birds on the Internet because all most Sites wanna talk about is how to trap and kill them! :(

I bought melatonin at Walmart this morning. My mum asked me what I bought and I told her that I bought vitamins. She doesn't need to know that I'm having trouble sleeping.

About an hour ago, I just knocked a glass of water onto my laptop, all over the keyboard. It's not the first time I've watered my keyboard either. Still going strong. Gotta love Thinkpads!

Wish I wasn't so clumsy! :(
