Tattoos and thievery!
Friday morning was a little startling for me this week. I discovered that my mailbox had been broken into, and all my mail was gone. I knew there was bank statements in the box due to finding one on the ground the day before and putting it back in the box. I should clear my mail more often, but I can’t be bothered since I don’t get my bills in the mail except for Telstra, who sends me reminders I owe them 15 cents, but i don’t need to pay it yet. That was the only thing they missed, I found that bill between two newspapers, they kindly left behind.
I wandered into work with my busted padlock and called the police, then called my bank to advise them of the theft, and to add extra passwords onto my account. I am concerned about identity theft, but there wasn’t enough to take, but they could set up direct debits to my bank account. I will notice the money coming out so that should be ok, as the lady I spoke to said I can dispute the charges and get them reversed.
This isn’t really something I want to deal with, 3 weeks from my trip.
Second thing I did on Friday was in the evening, running around the city with JJ, she got a tattoo, and I have one that I am going to get done probably next week. The tattoo shop was clean, smelling of disinfectant, with John Lennon blaring from the stereo and in contrast, a big, and I mean BIG tough tattoo-faced man was busy on a male customer, who looked quite hunky with his shirt off. He had a nipple ring, hadn’t seen one of those before on a man, so I had some eyecandy to check out whilst JJ had her tattoo emblazoned on her shoulder.
My thoughts are if you are going to get a tattoo, why get it somewhere you are not going to see? The tattoo I have chosen, is going to go on the underside of my right forearm. Just about 10 cms from the wrist. I want to see what I have done to myself. It’s a rose - girly, none of these chinese characters. I know people who read the tattoos on hapless victims who don’t know that the combination of three characters, means “small soft mountain” rather than “strength” as they believe it should mean, and have a good giggle at the idiot’s expense.
To summarise last week, I have cooked, started the process of cleaning all my clothes and doing a clean out of my wardrobe. Started to clean the flat, ensured I am not working 6 days a week for the next 2 weeks. I am doing well at work, there will be things to think about soon enough.
