It's Raining Again...

[waitingman]

Definitely not the kind of day to be stuck on your own in an outdoor furniture shop. The rain is cascading down, the stock's getting wet (as did I, when putting out the 'displays' this morning) & there is a distinct lack of customer traffic. To top it all off, today's SMH cryptic crossword is a real b@st*rd & there's only so much computer solitaire one can play before insanity strikes. Fortunately the CD player works & I've brought a few albums from home to while away the damp hours.

Dinner with the expanded group of usual suspects last night at the Chocolate Dog cafe in south Newtown. Traditional & modern Mexican was the fare ~ the old standards like fajitas & nachos competing with prawns in a tequila sauce & a bizarre collaboration between chicken, salsa, guacamole & chocolate sauce which tasted a lot better than you might think! Many & varied conversations, new faces, some wines with silly names (Cockfighter's Ghost verdelho, Woop Woop shiraz) & people proving the only Mexican they know comes from Speedy Gonzales cartoons... Fajitas!! Yeeha!!

Bon Voyage to Dorukai, who's off on a Mediterranean jaunt for a few weeks.

In the same tune...

"It started to rain
Then it rained again
I floundered around & finally drowned
& went down the drain"

could it be so true
Could rain make me blue
or even be glad to be inside
How it sucks to be you

And now, a little number from Johnny Paycheck we can both relate to...

"Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
I will not get all the pieces I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage, just walk on out the door

They'll have you in this factory from now on for fifty years
All this time I see my woman drowning in her tears
I see a lot of people who got to have a piece of me
I'd give the shirt right off my back if I had the nerve to say

Take this job and shove it. I ain't working here no more
I will not get all the pieces I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage, just walk on out the door
Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more

Let's all go use our sick leave up & then we'll shoot some pool
Got brand new skinhead hair cuts. You think he's a fool
One of these days I'll blow my top, or somebody's gonna pay
I'd hate to see the process as you enter the factory and say

Take this job and shove it, I ain't working here no more
I won't let that shit bother me that I've been working for
Paper cups, minimum wage, just walk on out the door
Take this job and shove it,I ain't working here no more"
