RA - At work.

Posted by RhysAndrews on Jan. 9, 2007, 5:43 p.m.

*SIGH* - Another long and hard day at work. Actually, it's not that hard today. 40 minutes since it's opened and only 3 customers. For those who don't know, I work at an internet-cafe. It's rather interesting to go to, because you see all the geeky stereotypes that you didn't really know existed, we just all make fun of them. For instance, We have some people to come here every day and buy an all-day pass, and they actually call out "LOL" and "OMG" and "BS"… Not as a joke either, they're dead serious. I don't know about you guys, but I've only ever seen people who say those things as a joke towards a "non-existant stereotype". Well. That's one interesting part of my job.

The other part, is that you get some pretty wacky people coming in here. I once had a really old, fragile lady (a bit like that old-lady the guy has an uncrushable love for in Little Britain), nice as anything… look at an adult dating site. We have a few nice people 'round, an old guy who'd probably never seen a computer before (he kept accidentally pressing the right mouse button instead of left, then I needed to help him close the drop-down menu), and this amazing guy who comes every so often with his webcam and a microphone, and has loud conversations with people… telling them the most.. epic stories. He was talking to this girl about not seeing her since 15 years ago, when they were all a 'happy family'. I don't even know if he was talking to anyone, this place does get a bit strange.

But it's cool, I have a work-mate (He's black - that's pretty rare where I work), funny guy. Reminds me of Arc but he's a dumbass at computers in relation to Arc… He doesn't even have his own computer, he just works all the time 'ere and plays on the computers 'ere. But he's an awesome guy, helps me a lot.

Well - I thought this blog was useful because it's passing the damn time, nice and quiet and cool in here and I hope my boss ain't looking at me doing nothing through the surveilance cameras (my boss works in the SHOP, which isl ike 5 minutes walk from here).

Regards

That's a good idea, work at an internet cafe….

I'm looking for a job, but I don't think that there are any near me.

Most people don't know what the internet is around here.

Don't say that to the regular customers at my shop… they'll nuke your home-town (thinking they're Chuck Norris).

Wait, was that a compliment or an insult? O_o

I think it was somewhere in between an insult and a.. a.. a.. Ok I guess it was an insult.

No, it was a compliment.
