"I didn’t know I was this geeky until I discovered the online world through my office’s 2400 baud modem back in ’93." Lovely day for an eviction
At the metro station this morning the ticket machine only accepted the exact fee. The guy at the cornershop didn’t want to give me any change. The station is full of machines that never work. They’re either broken, or haven’t been put into service yet. This time, the machine was out of money.
I explained this to the guard at the stairs, but he wouldn’t let me through. He brought me back to the machine. I told him again the machine was out of change, but he said ‘I’m only trying to help you’ and asked me where I was going. He tapped in my destination and told me to put 2,70 in the machine. Sigh. Never try to argue with the feeble-brained.
I showed him my 5 euro note and spellled it out for him again: the machine doesn’t accept my bills because it’s out of change, and no, the guy in the shop doesn’t want to give me any. ‘There are shops outside,’ he said. Yeah, thanks for nothing.
Meanwhile, I am doing the ‘mailbox’ shift at work, answering problems people have with our websites and our video sterams and this time I’m the one being insulted by customers, just because I can’t fix their computer problem.
A world without people. That would be ideal.
On that note: Get Grace Out! Get Grace Out!
