WTG Ben!

hehe i get to be the first to reply too!

Personal space! I was in a queue at work the other day when this smelly old woman was like pressing up against my back whilst i put my pin number into the card thingy. I felt like saying f**k off and leave me alone! of course im to nice to say that so i just pushed back and made her lose her balance hehe.

Glad your feeling better even after the bitch from the agency called!

Dear Ben,

that sounds like a typical Monday.....full of crazy stuff and the simplest things go hay wire.

Your jaw thing..is that from TMJ? no fun...whatever it is, sounds painful, which may explain the porridge for breakfast...easier on the jaw muscles.

Post Offices are always crazy..or at least mine is and it has the annoying habit of putting no postal workers at the front desk during busy times and then putting 4 or 5 of them on duty during off peak hours.

and in hot weather, the lines at my post office are always long it seems and everyone squashed together. Mine just put a glass cabinet filled with stuff animals right in the middle of the wait aisle so you have no space to walk or carry packages..instead, well you smack into others and its no fun. I like to people watch, so I find the "characters" interesting (from the little old lady the other day with very orange hair, what little she had, to one day a mother letting her son who had only a diaper on run wild, then punishing him since he was bored...I tend to freak out in my mind and wonder why do these people have children and what are they doing to them. Occassionally, I see a Mom or Dad who make it an adventure for their child or children and count with them, tell stories or explain what things mean in terms of post office mail, etc.)

I tend to get all sorts of people who decide they are going to tell me their life stories..whether I have time or not to listen. Often, I hear interesting stories...sometimes not (a few years ago an elder gentlemen in his 80s explained the history of the area, how he grew up there, saw the changes and how proud he was of his children, grandchildren, great grandchildren. It was Xmas time so I think he was lonely and missed his family.)

In lines, I always try to look around and wonder about the stories behind the faces of those in line..sometimes its fun to invent them and figure out what may or may have happened. And other times, when I see a hot Guy, I play the "is he or isn't he Gay" gayme in my head..well, I do that at the gym too...at least it makes me smile.

Ben, I do think you always have interesting stories....and of course so do you Dave...and I know this is Ben's blog but I hope that you and Chris are doing better.

I can't wait to read more of Ben's musings:)

Lol, yeah I can't say I know of the song...

And you call yourself British. 'Rolling Stones'. Just for that, we'll have to take away your tea and crumpets.

Give the poor lad a break, he's not old enough to remember good music, and the valium is affecting his brain

Remember Sharon, you have socks older than Ben. Can't expect him to know all those 'oldies' songs.
