Oh my god

It's my birthday boy or girl.

Well yeah, it's my birthday. I'm 22 now and I guess I've had the last of the milestone birthdays for a while now. I've been 16, 18 and 21. Well I think I was.

16 was a bit of a blur. I remember vomiting on a tree in a very 16 year old way and the tree was never the same again. In fact it died and there is still nothing growing in that spot.

I can't recall what I did for my 18th. That wasn't all that long ago. Hrmm. Maybe it will come to me during my ramblings.

21 was was pretty good. It was tacked onto the side of Glen's 21st. I remember swearing a lot with glen's grandparents around and getting dirty looks from his mum.

I guess that means the next milestone is the quarter century mark.

In other news this is a copy of an SMS that Gareth sent me on Sunday afternoon:

In royal adelaide. Got squashed between ski boat and car. Pelvic injuries but no damage to bones. Going to theatre to get stiched up. Am ok.

Sweet mother of christ was that a shock. I wasn't really sure how to take that, so I took a few minutes to compose myself and gave him a call.

I got Cathy when I called him and she sounded pretty shaken up. It was her dad that was driving the ski boat at the time, so they both felt pretty bad I think.

He is a very luck boy. He was some distance out of Adelaide at the time and even being airlifted from the scene it still took him two hours to get to the hospital.

Very lucky.

Back to the phone call. One of the first things that Gareth said to me through the morphine haze was that his dong and associated paraphernalia were ok.

100% Gareth statement. Awesome.

Zebra Crossing

I went up to my bosses office to have a chat and see how everything was going etc. Anyway, there was this sign on her desk about zebra crossings. It was some fucking dumb arse thing that one of the other managers had written about the zebra crossings at work. We have a lot of traffic go through the terminal at work and there are set walkways. Anyway the sign went something like this.. Staff are reminded that the zebra crossings in the yard do not give pedestrians right of way. Pedestrians must still give way to vehicular traffic. .. Anyway that seemed really dumb to me beacuse it is the exact opposite of what happens in the real world. It must have seemed so to someone else as well because they wrote on the bottom "zebra crossings are for the use of zebras only. anyone crossing the crossing must be accompanied by a zebra. Zebras must also wear there reflective vests."

So anyway I found that pretty funny and I said that whoever wrote the sign fucking deserved it becuase if was fucking stupid and i said it pretty loudly too, not knowing that the person who wrote it was in the office right next to the one i was in.. haha stupid woman... stupid sign.. probably deserved it.
