Random Rants

Went to my local tailor wearing the ducks… First question: do you hem to length, I need 32.5"...
- BLANK STARE*
Ok then get on your fucking knees and let's do it the hard way... I want it to length + 2 cms...
BLANK STARE Fumbles a bit... This good?..
Yep, perfect. Now add 2 cms.
PAUSE, SOUND OF SOMETHING RATTLING So this is good, but longer?
She writes me a receipt... First of all it's gonna take a week, plus she wrote down "Hem plus cuff"... I said "No cuff, I'm gonna cuff 'm myself"...
BLANK STARE Yes, yes. Ok. Cuff... 8 €...
I know normally it costs 6 € so I'm not sure what they're about to do to my ducks but I'm a bit worried... Gonna give them a call on Monday, hoping it's a different woman then...
My collegue told me what they would do… They're gonna hem them to the length we discussed and add a 1" stitched cuff... So that's actually exactly what I wanted (cause I'm gonna wear 'm with a small doublecuff til they settle/ had a wash)... I will have to undo the stitching of the cuff but same collegue has a tool for this that makes it deadeasy... So yeah... I now know to avoid bringing in something during the weekend, as the regular lady isn't there then...
Pics on Saturday!..

To tide you over?..

Listed a large item for sale on ebay, and selected "collection only" as the postage option, also wrote in the description that the item was available for collection only.
Winning bidder emails me at the end of the auction to say "Hi, Could you please post this to London?".
What the hell is wrong with the basic comprehension skills of some people
Buyer has just received a very curt, and to the point email, pointing out that under no circumstance will I be shipping to London, they can either collect, or cancel the auction and work on their basic understanding skills.

back from the doc: ligament is torn which leads to 4-8 weeks no soccer for me
and please say hello to my little friend…
And not working in the warehouse either then… Hopefully you still get paid?..
yes and yes!…the doc wrote me sick for today and tomorrow. called work and normally you (students or others that work during their semesterbreak!) only get paid from sick insurance if they were working for at least 4 weeks or more...this week is my 3rd week in, so either i´ll get paid from the company i work for (100%), from sick insurance (78%) or i have to take two days off afterwards which also get paid to 100%...so no matter what, i´ll get paid...
