Miss D and Master Z
started almost the moment I arrived, trying to convince me to move to the
Sunshine Coast (as Miss D had been offered her dream job up there) there may
have been a hello and a pash first but it was not soon after... I let them
sweat it for a few days :P - I knew I was not keen for the suburbs anyway!
Friday night was fun – once I was fed – Hangry Miss R came
out to play for a while, then I learnt about the VERY interesting Queensland
liquor laws, you are unable to smoke inside, good work Queensland! You are also not allowed to eat in these
smoking areas – although drinking is perfectly fine while smoking. They are
called “DOSA” (designated outdoor smoking area). We also saw an amazing band – Dallas Frasca. But after a
big week and finally seeing Master Z, all I wanted was to go to bed so at about
12:30 (which btw in NZ time was 3:30 anyway!!!) Master Z and I went back to
Miss D’s – where we slept in the coolest freaken hutt of all time! (ok, so it
was a cubby house made of sheets – but still!
I have never wished I took a photo of something more in my life!).
Master Z and I then spent the weekend with Miss D in the
Sunshine Coast – where I was again ganged up on in operation “DMTB” (don’t move
to Brisbane), eventually I told them that I was cool with moving to the Sunny
Coast.
This weekend was
awesome until we were on our way back to Brissy and got stuck in the craziest
traffic jam. Miss D’s patience is worse than mine so as you can imagine this was
a serious cause of stress. We ended up getting the train instead – after almost
2 hours in the car going basically no-where.
By the time Master Z
and I got to Brisbane it was almost 10:30 and we were both tired and maybe a
lil testy (although this may have just been me ...) so we ended up staying
somewhere I have for many years avoided... at a backpackers! –Shared showers creep
me out! This turned out to not be nearly as bad as I envisioned (though this
could have been due to us having our own room!)
Master Z then worked on Monday and I had to go to Inala
(yes, the place starting with I) to get my eftpos card, this was a freaken
mission that made me wonder what the frick I was doing in this country of
inbreeds!
I then went to purchase a sim card and found that my card did not
work! I then went back to the bank and they basically told me I was a dumb ass
and that my checking account was actually connected to the savings button
(sorry – who is a dumb ass!) we then checked this to find, wow, I am not a dumb
ass! It is actually not working!
So I waste another 20 odd minutes with some annoying moo who
keeps telling me that the card should work – ah, I know it should freaken work,
she then goes to speak with her superior and finds that oh, neither her, nor
her useless workmate had unlocked the card once they had verified my identity!
Are you kidding me! I wasted half an hour because you are STUPID!!! I then ask to have my internet banking set
up,
“Sure, what is your Australian cell phone number?” Stupid
woman (SW) asks
“I have not been able to access my Australian funds so I
still do not have one” I respond “Oh, we can’t set that up yet then” SW advises
“Where is the nearest place I can get a sim card then” I ask
– through gritted teeth
“Just next door” SW answers, as if this is the most stupid
question someone could ask!
Next door I go - taking deep breaths and trying to count
down from 10! Then I am advised that I
have to go next door to pay! Are you freaking kidding? Off next door I totter
to pay and then when trying to set up my new pre-pay number, the automated
voice on the other end of the line advises that I must have an Australian
address?!!! At this point steam is pouring from my ears! All I wanted was my
banking set up and the ability to communicate! *sigh.
So I decided to get
the fuck out of Inala because I am scared that stupidity rubs off – naturally I
wanted to get away from these imbeciles asap!
Back to Brisbane I go – did I mention it was raining? At
this stage the only sunny day we had encountered was Saturday, when we spent
the day in the car – and even then there was a madness rainstorm as we were
driving! Lol. So I finally get back to Base (the backpackers), dripping wet,
almost crying with homesickness! After a bit of a fluff around to get my phone
and internet banking sorted I was still feeling a bit down so decided to do
something nice for the Australian society and as there was a blood bank beside
the backpackers, this was where I decided to do my good deed.

I walked in, smiled at the lady behind the counter and
stated that I would like to give blood, after 10minutes and a lot of nose
looking down on, I was informed that I had not ingested enough water. What the,
I cannot even do a good deed!
So in retaliation to being informed that I was dehydrated I
decided to have a glass of wine and read some of my Richard Branson book –
Screw Business as Usual – OMG, converted to the Virgin Mentality!!!
Sorry, I digress. Not even Branson can cheer me up so I
decide to have a nap – after all Nana naps are the most amazing invention.
After my Nana nap Master Z and I just had dinner and relaxed
in bed... now if this was actual Sunday Vino’s and I didn’t know my Mother was
going to read this – I would say more than I ended up getting some vitamin Z ;D
needless to say – I ended up in a much better mood!
Oh – also before the good deed debacle I discovered an
amazing store! Kitten D’Amour – I love you and I cannot wait to spend money in
your store!
