All falling into place
The big fish/small pond syndrome only highlighted iteself further this week with some relatively disturbing news from my work mates. They had an ex co-worker ‘checked out’ by one of their policeman friends, and actually looked me straight in the eye without a glimmer of amusement as one of them told me, and I stress, in all seriousness – ‘[the guy who was checked out]has no passport, no birth certificate, he doesn’t exist.’ It’s like I’ve stepped onto the plot of some semi-retarded X-Files rip off. I looked back blankly and asked my work colleague ‘are you sure your mate didn’t just not find anything?’
‘No, he’s very good. He’s a pro.’
I am shocked. It almost makes me want to link my name with international terrorism so that when me and Lauren finally skip town (more on that later) and they ‘check us out’ with their slightly bent cop mate, they can all stand together and nod ‘I knew it’s’ gravely to each other.
It might be worth adding at this point that asking law enforcement friends to check out ID’s of people for non-cop’s was made illegal largely because of the amount of rapes that occured from people knowing too much details about potential victims. At least, that’s what my slightly blurry memory of a Discovery Chanel show tells me. I mean, there’s a reason that you can’t just ask a cop mate to find out private info about people. One particular work colleague in general (the one who used the ‘he doesn’t exist’ line) takes himself so seriously that he has a mohawk -without any sense of irony, brilliantly, he also turns to me reguarly and says he’s been working on his music but can’t get anywhere because Noosa (population 20,000. Population under the age of 60; 1,000) has no ‘hardcore dubstep scene’ What the hell is a hardcore dubsteb scene and why would a town that is in essence an enormous retirement village, have a specialist dance music scene?! Tool tool tool.
So, to our escape:
Bus to Brissy: Booked for 13th Feb (that’s a Friday the 13th people, dun dun duuuh)
Flight to Sydney: Booked for same day.
Deep breath…
Yeeeeeeeessssssssssss!!!!!!!
And relax.
