Happy 13th of January!

Goffi (My Ex-boss): My wife bought me weighing scales for christmas.
Friend: Yeah I know. She said she wanted to get you something that could go from 0 to 110 in under 2 seconds.

Today I feel a little dead inside. I'm not sure exactly why. It could be the combination of milo and pokka lemon tea for breakfast. Or it could be something else.

I don't understand why the NEL mrt line couldnt just hire a real old person for their "Safety on Escalators" poster campaign. There's plenty of poor/homeless old people you could rope in who'd be happy for the extra buck. Wouldn't it be so much easier than hiring a young person, and then giving them atrocious make-up and a contrived hunch to make them look old? And what's with the porcupine/multi-coloured hair of the supposed NEL staff assisting the said fake-old-lady down the escalator? As if the NEL interviewer would even let you into his office if you turned up for your job interview like that.
