Toll Slow

23 November - Felt a dire need to read a newspaper today and still not
having found a reliable inner city wifi source and knowing that the
nofishcafe signal is strong but impossible to connect through I made the
surprisingly long trip out to Roslyn Street in the cross for a coffee from
the camp old bastard who runs the nice coffee shop next to the Teahna Banana
gelateria with its always reliable signal. Logged on at 10 to 8 but my
cheerful early morning banter was not reciprocated and it was quite some
time before any real work came my way. It took a while to realise that it
was not the affable Kurt on the other end of the data device but Wayne, who
does a few other channels and despite seeming quite nice when I met him the
other day he's a right curt wanker over the text messages. Incredibly quiet
day with only one sweeet run where I was making about twenty stops, never
having to go more than two blocks between each one and only minimal illegal
riding required. Spent a lot of time window shopping and reading about what
was going on around the world (it's a good thing I'd synced the avantgo).
Knocked off early enough and did some ablutions before heading Gordon side
for home cooked meal the likes of which can only be made by a mum who loves
you and repaid generosity by stealing various other foodstuffs for my own
larder. First tentative connections by the Macbook to the in'nernet but
couldn't remember what I needed to download or do so logged off and cursed
myself when I remembered after I'd left the house. Had to rush to make the
direct train back to Redfern but all was good and no railbus's were
necessary. Did a bit of vandalism against my brand new jersey but it's far
too hot for sleeves at the moment and I need to even out the tan.
