Everyday White Trash

I showed up at work today and was presented with a...a...OH GOD IT WAS AWFUL!!!

They gave me a white cap to wear that said 'Everyday Money' on it. See, Woolies, yes, I am ashamed, I work at Woolies. That platypus killing, bush destroying, evil corporate, selfish, bastardised, community fucking, slavery riding, profit scamming, hell hole dictatorship they call a business. And this business, like Tomas de Torquemada in green, has made their very own credit card. Hence the cap, not only do we have to use our head as advertising space but we're also supposed to ask every single customer if they would like one of these debt inducing Everyday Money credit cards. Of course I did not ask a single person. I do have morals you know!!

But this cap. It's huge. And I was seething about having to wear it. I don't do caps. Do I look like a stupid cap wearing gangsta to you? No, I didn't think so! In fact I had to stop hanging out with those Zimbabweans because their constant cap usage was tarnishing my otherwise impeccable reputation. I can't be seen with people who wear caps. By the way, Comrade, if you dare to wear a cap in my presence you can bet your black squashy nose you will be punched. Don't. Tempt. Me.

I was sulking. Hardcore. About this crap-reputation-image-damaging cap I was being forced to wear. I spent two full hours sulking until one of the girls I work with, who didn't have to wear one because she isn't a checkout bitch like me, said it looked like it could be a truckie cap. So I made the horn sign and she cracked up, which made me slightly happier. Only slightly mind. Wazza came by and made some stupid gangsta joke. I pulled some dumb gang sign and said 'sup nigga with one of the stupid pouts they put on when they try to look cool. And then it came to me, something to make me happy. I'm a gonna steal that stupid cap, cross out money and write White Trash instead.

  6. Me I'm still waiting for you to quit all that work, get here in Ug, and we'll have a huge party at my place in honour of DeT. Oops! Did I just shoot my mouth off? Ah well, we'll pool our finances and have a huge Ugandan party. I'm offering a venue. Isn't that enough? Sheesh!

    she has been sick. She is allowed to be off colour. Just this once!

    But it was amazing how long it did take to get her goat, when I was trying my damndest.

    Hey, you have started me swearing now! Amazing.

    @Cheri: I'm not completely insane.

    @Tandra: She is and one day she will fall for someone as evil as she is and she'll get a taste of her own medicine...or failing that she'll just have huge credit debt :P

    @Princess: Yeah, wasn't too angry, more irritated but you see they've broken my spirit.

    @Carlo: Really? Really? Really? OH YEAH!!! And can I try waragi? Oh please'm, please! PLEASE!! *falls to knees* PLEEEEEAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    @Sybella: No :-( I'm tired of flirting, getting harrassed too much by certain boys and I just want to...erm, nevermind but I don't have time to flirt. And I don't want to start anything since I'm leaving in 31 days!

    I want to have a party! We can discuss intellectual things and NOT invite CB!!!!!!!!!!!

    @27th: *gloats* Thank ye Revence.

    @31337: I'll bring the cap home next week and picture it.
