So I often can't get straight answers about fuel prices from console operators because they probably do cop a lot of stupid questions and abuse from other people. :/

Coud also be that they don't really know. IN my years of servo working, there are a ot of people who don't do any thinking and wouldn't know anything more than how to do the day to day activities. Admittedly there are sure to be some butt-weeds working there, as with any job/social interaction.

I have been noticing that people are driving particularly stupidly/viciously as of late. It's almot like it's crazy Friday (tm) everyday, or already the last week until christmas. I wish people would just keep their cool, but so many have anger control issues (of varying degrees) and it just escalates so much.

there are so many bad drivers out there. people who drive 50 in a 60km lane/do not give way at roundabouts/and those that dont know how to indicate - being oblivious to all other drivers.

i get a lot of road rage building up inside me, and it it really unpleasant. i have noticed that i have been driving more aggressively, but it really is due to everyone else on the road unable to maintain the maximum speed limit and those having no road-sense at all. if it were just one person on the one trip, i'd be okay - but no, it is 5-10+ drivers that piss me off every time i need to go somewhere of significant distance.

Had a Terrible day today,
Missed the train to work so i got into melbourne late
missed my bus from melbourne to south melbourne so had to walk there, making me more late for work
had a headache all day
hayfever was acting up
incredibly tired
really dont like hot weather
skip my lunch break at work to make up for being late
leave work just in time to miss my usual train home
get to the station to find the train i now intended to take is delayed
during train ride home train mysteriously stops near sunshine for like 20mins
walk home only to realise i dont have my keys so i had to wait for my brother to get home
now finally home and all i wanna do is go to bed
