#636 Let me bore you to sleep

Hello and welcome to jasonnewland.com. My name is Jason Newland. Nice, Newland, Newland. And this is let me bore, bore you to sleep.

Please only listen when you can safely close your eyes. How you doing? Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you alright? Are you okay? Are you okay? Good. It's Saturday the 10th of April 2021.

And what's in the news? I'm not even going to mention what's in the news. It's just one thing. So I'm not going to mention it because you've got access to the news.

You don't need me to mention what's in the news. So yeah, that's it. I went out today, went out because I'd run out of sugar.

And the garage, the garage, the petrol station last night didn't have any sugar. They didn't have any breakfast cereal. They didn't have any cans of Coke.

They kind of didn't really have anything that I wanted. Apart from, yeah, I got a pack of water, bottled water. And something else, but I can't remember.

Nope, can't remember. Oh no, what I got instead, because there was no sugar, I got myself some honey, like in a squeezy bottle thing. So I spread that over my breakfast cereal and put it in my coffee this morning because I love myself.

I love myself a nice cup of coffee in the morning. One cup of coffee a day I have. And it's not because of any reason other than I really enjoy it once a day.

Having my breakfast with a cup of coffee. Breakfast cereal, I don't really have anything else. If I've got no breakfast cereal I might have some toast, but generally just a bowl of breakfast cereal.

With a cup of coffee. I love it, I love, love it. Now I don't like, I'm not really a coffee person.

Any other time of the day I don't enjoy a cup of coffee. But first thing in the morning, I love a cup of coffee. It's weird isn't it? It's not weird, but it's something I don't really like any other time.

Plus if I drink, like say if I've got a friend, he comes up and he has a cup of coffee, you know, sort of 11 o'clock as an example. Could be half ten, could be quarter to three. But just you know, the time isn't really relevant.

And unless of course it's to do with the time. My stomach's making some weird noises. I wonder if I can release some of that gas, I wonder how that could happen.

Ah, that's better. So I, Andre is fast asleep. He's just in front of me in my eye level, not my eye level, but in my eyesight.

Although I can't see him. I can, that was a bit of a weird sentence. I can see him, but he's kind of hidden a little bit by the plastic that he's lying in.

He's got all his toys, all his soft toys and his tubes that he climbs in. All his stuff, all in one place, underneath the television. And it's basically a wardrobe on its side with the door taken off.

The TV's on top of the wardrobe, the side of the wardrobe. And underneath is a load of his toys. So it's a good sort of, I suppose, six foot tall.

And, I don't know, two foot wide probably. Two, three, maybe less. Maybe two foot.

I'm not sure. But he's got the height, he doesn't really need the height, but he just happens to be that height. So it's a very sturdy, very sturdy thing.

But he loves it in there now. It's almost like he's got his own space. But, it's accessible to me.

He personally prefers to be somewhere that I can't get to him. I don't know why that is, I think it's a bit strange behaviour. So he likes to sleep, he's got a bag and some stuff behind the door.

The door's hooked back, so he sleeps behind there. So he thinks I can't get to him. Although I can get to him, I don't know where he is when he does that.

Sometimes he sleeps behind the settee, he's got a whole nest behind there. A whole thing set up where he can sleep and a bag that he sleeps in and all kinds of stuff. Or he might be on the bed.

Now he's got all that inside there, so underneath the TV, so he could be in one of the tubes, he could be, you know. Sometimes I can't actually find him. I know he's there.

But I can't find him. And all I want to do is take him for a walk and I'm looking and I'm thinking, I don't know where he is. But I'm now bored looking for him.

I've lost interest in this walk. Especially if he's asleep, it's almost the worst time to take him for a walk because he doesn't want to go. You know, he wants to go back to sleep and he generally tries to climb back into my jacket or my t-shirt or whatever and go to sleep there.

So I keep him outside and I kind of cuddle him, make sure he's warm in case it's cold. He feels the temperature more when he's been asleep, even though he's wearing a fur coat. Eventually he wants to get down, he lets me know when he wants to get down.

He goes like that, moans. So I put him down. And if I've just woken him up quite often, he'll only want to walk a certain way, a certain distance and then he'll want to come home.

But sometimes I'll walk him up to the field or to the park. I'll put him down inside the park and I try to walk into the park with him on the lead and he won't, he refuses. He refuses to move.

And he lets me drag him, which I don't really like doing. I don't mind so much if it's on the grass because it might not look very nice from a distance if someone sees me dragging a ferret along. But what they don't realise is that Andre would never allow himself to be hurt.

He wouldn't allow it. If he was in any kind of discomfort, he wouldn't allow it, he doesn't like it. So if I was dragging him and it was hurting him, he'd get up and he'd walk.

And I never drag him fast, it's like literally he's very slowly in the hope that he'll sort of come round to my thinking and just use his legs instead of being a little baby. I keep saying to him, if you keep like this I'm going to get you a pram and just push you around in a pram like the little baby that you are. The weird thing about that is, from my perspective, I'm making fun of him and I'm mocking him and I'm making him look stupid in public.

But from everyone else's perspective, I'm making myself look stupid in public because I'm going meh, meh to a ferret. So I'm sort of embarrassing myself probably. If I was able to be embarrassed, I don't feel embarrassment really.

It's too late, it's too late to feel embarrassed. About what? What am I embarrassed about? There's nothing to be embarrassed for anymore. You know, there's no point.

It don't get you nowhere. It don't get you nowhere. So I'll try and pull him and try and coax him to sort of walk a little bit.

And eventually, he always wins. And I just say, okay, and I just walk up to him. At this point he's just lying there, pretending to go to sleep.

When I get to him, the lead is no longer flexed, pulling him, and the lead is loose. He starts running home. And he's happy to be on his feet and to walk or run all the way home from the park.

So he wasn't tired, he didn't have tired legs, he wasn't tired, nothing. He was being lazy and he just wanted to come home. So he knows his way home, that's for sure.

If he ever got out, went for a walk, he knows how to get home. But unfortunately, he does not know the Green Cross code. I've tried to teach it to him, but he just runs across the road, randomly.

He tries to do it with me. And sometimes, if I'm distracted by someone, let's say a dog walker starts talking to me. That's when Andre will just run off in the road.

And I literally have to be watching him all the time to make sure that he's safe. From himself, it's very annoying. Because when that happens, I just get annoyed at myself for allowing a human to distract me.

I figure it this way, I've only got one responsibility, apart from myself. And you of course, making these recordings to help the world, to save the world. Other than that, it's to look after a little ferret.

If I can't keep a little ferret safe, what use am I? Honestly, what use am I on this planet if I can't even look after a little ferret? So, it's important to me that I keep him safe. But he doesn't care himself, he's just got no fear, no sense of what's around him. Literally, cats start trying to crawl up behind him to get to him.

And he doesn't care, he's not looking out, he's got no interest, no fear. He does stare at dogs though. But if a dog barks at him, he's not interested.

Because the dogs never get close to him. And I always hold him, I pick him up for the dog off the lead, which is quite a regular thing around here. And I wish it wasn't.

But some people think that, everyone, I don't know, it seems that everyone seems to think that first of all they do what they want to do. That's very much an attitude in this country, is the rules don't apply to anyone. They don't apply to me, I do what I want to do.

But the rules are kind of very vague when it comes to dog walking and keeping dogs on the lead. I've gone online to look into it and I still can't really make it out. So, what the actual rules are.

But, forgetting the rules for a minute. Let's look at the reality of letting your dog run off the lead. Firstly, if your dog attacks another dog, you could end up losing your dog.

Which, you know, your dog could get hurt as well. Which is something that no one wants to happen. If the dog's off the lead, it's kind of a fair situation in a sense.

Because the other dog can defend itself. If the other dog is on the lead, and your dog attacks a dog that's on the lead, then there's more chance that your dog will end up getting hurt. Because that dog feels trapped.

And he can't defend himself, or he can't run away or run around the other dog, you know how they do. So for me, why would you let your dog off the lead? Because if it does get attacked by another dog, that's your little baby, that's your child. I'm sure not everybody thinks of their dog as being their child.

But I know a heck of a lot of people do. I can guarantee that. He or she is a member of the family.

And, you know, Andre is my child, he's my boy, he's my son. And I mean that 100%. He is my flesh and blood.

Of course he's not, but he is. As far as I'm concerned, I pooed him out five years ago. And he's been with me ever since.

That's in my mind. Of course that didn't really happen, thankfully. Can you imagine? That would definitely be a call to get an ambulance, wouldn't it? Yeah, an ambulance please.

What's the problem? I've just gone to the toilet and I've given birth to a ferret. Is this a crank call, sir? No, it's true. I don't know what to do.

I've just done a poo in the loo. And I've given birth to a ferret that looks just like you. The Addams Family.

Can't do the clicking. That's one of the problems with using a punch bag and stuff. My fingers don't move the way they used to.

They're almost kind of, a little bit stiff. A little bit stiff. I can click them though.

I click my fingers. This is, I'm going to click my finger. If you don't like people clicking their fingers, then sort yourself out.

God, there's so many other things to be worried about. Come on. This is my right hand.

And my, the finger that's next to the little finger. I can actually wobble it. Because it's a little bit loose.

It doesn't have the same, I don't know. I'm going to click it, listen. You hear that? It's not massive.

It's not a massive click. Clicking the finger is actually a good thing. It helps to loosen.

It releases the gas in between the... It's basically like a finger fart. It is. Oh, that's it proper.

That's the finger again. Oh yeah. So basically, it's loose and it goes inside itself.

Because there's no knuckle there. So the knuckle's compressed right down. So the finger moves inside the hand.

It doesn't even make sense. I've basically got, they're like little claws. I've got like little kitten hands.

The fingers move inside. What other bits can I click? Oh, that's my wrist. That's my left wrist.

The right wrist is not. I'll tell you, my feet. You probably can't hear that.

It's too far away from the microphone. But my right toes click. When I move them around.

Sometimes my knee clicks. That's my teeth, so that's not really a click. What else clicks? Sometimes when I move my neck, I can feel a click, but it's more internal.

Again, it's probably just the gas releasing. The gas that's in between the the sockets and the bones and whatever. When I lay down on my bed, sometimes I feel my back click.

It used to happen when I used to lay down on the floor. My back would click. My shoulders, I don't think my shoulders ever click.

But if I hunch my shoulders up a little bit, and push them back, I feel a little bit of a clickiness in my back. Just a little bit, but not. Another thing is if I move from side to side, it doesn't happen so much now.

I'm trying to get my hip to click. Oh, yeah. Have you heard that? A little bit of a click there.

Oop, just banged the microphone. No, I was trying to move side to side. Sometimes it works.

It clicks the hip a little bit. Do you ever get the sense that maybe I'm running out of things to talk about? Only took me 635 recordings. Yeah, it's gone downhill a bit, hasn't it? He's now talking about clicking parts of his body.

Perhaps we should start listening to something else now. Yes. I did a good recording.

Well, I don't know. I mean, they're all good, aren't they? They're all amazing in their own way, but yeah. I did this this stress and pain relief podcast.

I've started doing more of those. Partly because I talked about this yesterday. It's it fits in with what I want to be doing.

It fits in with what I've always wanted to be doing since I first learnt hypnosis. The first thing I realised was this helps with pain. This can help with pain relief.

This can help to relax someone really, really deeply. They're the two things pain relief more than the other because at the time I didn't I had not really had any major issues with stress at that time that I'd realised. I mean, I had, I just didn't kind of, couldn't really I didn't really understand it as such.

I mean, I had nearly a year from September yeah, about September, maybe October 2004 until the summer 2005 where I was really, really physically ill and had loads of tests. I had a bad stomach. I was bleeding.

I don't want to go into it, but it was really quite horrible and constantly going to the doctors trying all kinds of different treatments had had what's it you know, the ectopic, no you know, the camera through the, into the tummy I had a camera there via my my mouth opening and they also did an ultrasound of my stomach like they do with women when they're pregnant I loved that, I thought that was so cool because I thought, you know, I'm not going to what other time am I going to get a chance to do this?

I mean, the chance of me being pregnant is pretty slim I didn't have a girlfriend or nothing like that and I just it was really weird to have all this lotion poured on my stomach and I was really skinny back then now, it would look much better because they'd have a lot to dig into because I do look pregnant now have done for some while and I'm not sure, I'm pretty sure they had the the monitor on the wall like showing my internal thingies but they were checking my kidneys my liver trying to find a

reason for my illness they couldn't, you know, they didn't know what it was and then when I had the camera in my tummy there was a picture there was a television, a monitor showing me the insides of my stomach which put me off my dinner so it put me off my sandwich but as the doctor kept saying this probably isn't a good time to be eating, is it?

and then I had a blood test so I had a few different tests and they were talking about sticking a camera into my, into, yeah you know it it would be like a an old sci-fi movie The Black Hole it would have been, you know, that kind of situation and I wasn't in retrospect in as things have happened since then I think I would have preferred the other to the one I had because well, just, I don't think, I don't know it's all quite personal stuff, isn't it?

So anyway, I didn't have that but I had a blood I had blood tests and they were searching for again, I'm going to keep it light but they were searching for something serious because they thought it was serious because they couldn't find out what it was so they kind of stepped it up a big level and I got called in for the test results and there was this this big office, right?

I couldn't believe it like, I think it was in it was in London, London, East London Hospital I can't remember what it was called to and it wasn't like Whitechapel Hospital, you know, it wasn't that part, it was more East Ham or somewhere, I don't know anyway, I went there and I walked into this office, big office two specialists sitting there so it wasn't a case of just going to my doctors to get the results, I had to go and see a specialist, but there was two specialists oh this is Doc, and they didn't, they

called themselves Mr there was two men Mr, this is Mr Horace and this is Mr Bing Bong and I can't remember their names although I would remember Bing Bong because that is a good name but I'm sure his name wasn't that and I was worried I'll be honest with you I was on my own so I didn't, you know, back in them days I didn't have, well I still don't really, but I didn't have any support, any kind of someone to come with me anything like that, I was too old to well actually, the reality

is I wasn't too old to ask my dad because if I'd have asked my dad, he would have come so that's, I'll be lying to myself, you know if I'd have phoned my dad up and said dad, I'm going to the hospital to get results can you come with me he would have dropped his job well he would have took time off and come up to London to come with me that's the reality, but I didn't, I never asked for stuff like that but he would have done so, I feel I'd do my dad a

disservice by saying I didn't have anyone to take me or come with me and even though I was 24 years old which is old enough to deal with stuff on your own kind of what I was potentially about to deal with I think I did need someone with me actually someone for support because I was really expecting bad stuff to happen because that's what I was warned about by the specialist who gave me the tests to start with they said well, this is what we're looking for well, I go in there and I'm wondering why

one's dressed as a clown but I don't say anything and they said sit down they said take a seat Mr Newland I said it's Newland and he said don't start we had this last time you start we'll call the security and you'll be gone I ain't putting up with that crap this time I said alright, ok, sorry, sorry so I'm sitting there and they said and they're going through the notes you know, not looking at me and I'm thinking why are there two he introduced, oh this is Mr Clowney he's a a something some big

word specialist I thought ok that doesn't sound too good but you can't say it twice and he said yeah I can and he did he pronounced it the same twice but he doesn't understand what it is though, do you he said no, but it doesn't matter either do you I'll look it up on the internet he said you can't, the internet doesn't exist yet damn, damn, damn, damn damn you time and I just I sort of sat there waiting to be told what I was just sort of thinking ok what's the treatment what, what and

he said well we can't find anything wrong with you I said what I said I've been ill for like 10 months and you know that you know you've seen the doctor's records and he said yeah I know and I said you examined me you can see stuff that's gone wrong he said yes I know I said you got you got the pictures they said yeah we didn't need the pictures thanks you can take them home with you ok and they said well we've come to the conclusion that it must be stress I said what yeah

it must be stress there's nothing else we can we can conclude because we've done all the tests we can we've tested you physically we've tested all your major organs we've gone inside your stomach you know checked that all out and we've given you a blood test which has tested everything you know we've looked at everything that could possibly look at and I said yeah but you've got nowhere near my feet though have you the one in the clown costume started laughing and bibbing his little horn the other one he's just like what do you mean

you haven't looked at your feet yet I said I don't know I'm just trying to drag the story out a little bit longer he said oh you're still doing that podcast are you I said yeah still doing it he said why do you do that podcast and I looked at the the doctor with the clown clown doctor riding around on his little bike a little bit distracting if I'm honest and I said I don't know why I do it really it's almost like it's become part of my life I just just do it he said

yeah but what do you get out of it I don't know really sometimes I'll be honest I don't know if there's any point in doing it but then I get messages from people telling me that they really enjoy them and that they're useful and it helps them to relax fall asleep sometimes it's company some sort of like a friendly voice and he said yeah but you don't sound that friendly I said stuff you mate I have a friendly I have a friendly voice he said yeah but aren't you a bit boring I said what do

you mean he said well if you're making these recordings every day pretty much what on earth do you find to talk about I said I'll be honest with you I'm not really sure I don't know where all this stuff comes from it's just there it just presents itself I turned the recording on I press record and I've got my microphone there he said oh is that the new one I said yeah he said that's a really good mic isn't it I said yeah I know he said oh okay and I just don't don't know why

I just if it's helping people in different ways then it's worth it isn't it isn't that why you became a doctor he said no it's for the money oh okay but you want to help people don't you he said no that's just the side effects side effects we both laughed he said no that's just it's part of it but it's better than working in a factory I get 90 grand a year I get special treatment when I book in restaurants when I give them my name Dr Bing Bong and they when I go into places

I pay by card and they see doctor on it they assume that I'm better than them which is true because I am I said what did you say he said no he said I am I'm so better than them now the song didn't really do much justice but the little dance he did he actually started dancing on the table and I didn't realise that he had blue knees he had smurf knees but not smurf feet now you know I've seen enough doctors that have smurf feet it's a normal thing that's why they sit behind behind

behind desks to hide their smurf feet what on earth am I talking about why a lot of news readers as well news readers are actually half chicken you don't realise it's the bottom half obviously you never see above their waist you don't realise it at the end of it because quite often you never see their faces and sometimes they look very stern very focused you know it's not because they are listening to the person they are interviewing because they are laying an egg that's what it is and sometimes if you notice the news reader starts

to get higher up almost starts to rise up on the chair it's because of all the eggs they are laying it's making them higher so next time you watch the news you might notice that they shuffle around a little bit it's because they are making room for the eggs yep they are basically pooing out all those eggs and the facial expressions gives it away sometimes there's an almost uncomfortable look on their face almost guilty look that look of if only you knew what I was doing underneath this desk whilst you were watching me talking about

this news story continuous news story news but anyway yeah so I was I was told that it was stress so I was given anti not bacterial anti not antinatal antidepressants is that the right word?

antidepressants and within a very short time my stomach was sorted and all the other issues I had went away I put on about half a stone in weight and I could eat again without feeling ill which I hadn't been able to do for about 10 months and it's like wow wow I mean like wow it was great really was really was great but but but I felt lethargic I felt a bit tired with these pills and I didn't like that because I liked being alert and being quick it's hard to believe that I was ever

quick but I used to have quite a fast brain but at the same time I don't know I think I don't know maybe I'm quite I'm quite slow but proficient try to do things correctly if I can systematic you could say I was very systematic hydramatic in fact in fact you could say I'm grease lightning grease lightning Oh baby, the only thing I care beat beat beat beat broom what's this song?

Oh I want to say thank you to someone but it's a little bit late sniffy sniffy sniff sniff I want to say thank you to gel or jelly who sent me a PayPal gift thank you very much so I'm gonna do is send a message back this is from the Netherlands hey hi hi jelly thanks PayPal gift see I've got I've got a few people with the Netherlands that seem to like what I do so maybe when I go on my world tour on my on my visit to Netherlands so I don't know whereabouts of

some not gonna read the address out but the Netherlands because it's a big area isn't it could be Amsterdam could be I didn't know is Zeebrugge Belgium is that part of Netherlands I know Belgium is a country but I didn't know if it I don't everything I can't know everything just because you know everything doesn't mean I have to know everything because if you know everything what I need to know everything because if there's something I need to know I can just ask you can't I I don't know not right now I'm in the middle

of something yeah maybe later yeah that's true that's a bit rude but I can't yeah yeah well maybe just to see how things go I'm in the middle of something at the moment but maybe you know we could talk about it later no no no no go away you have to go away no no just you go leave me alone I'm in the middle of something what you say stop it stop it stop swearing at me stop it that was my big toe talking to me sometimes it happens stop it go away it's weird that

you're becoming clearer and clearer isn't it as you talk before I couldn't hear everything you were saying it was just noises now it's literally you're speaking why what's the reason if I take my socks off would that be better oh that's much nicer oh god you stink socks going back on no I have enough rudeness as it is I don't need a rude toe stop it go away uh-huh here's something I wanted to talk to you about it's a bit late in the recording really but okay I wanted to talk about at the beginning I

forgot about it I'm waiting at the bus stop earlier today waiting for the bus it's a good combination and this girl teenager I guess in I don't know how old but you know young young teenager she's running towards the bus stop and she stops and she proceeds to make phone calls to her friends now you might say well how do you know they're her friends what's she gonna phone she's gonna phone up what people she doesn't like you suppose well anyway this is how the conversation went okay that's not her voice but anyway what she

proceeded to say I'm not gonna mimic her as I can't do the teenage girl voice or her I don't really know love you she basically phoned one person out and said guess what and to a friend and she said I got out I managed to get out I cried my way out of being grounded okay let's repeat that I cried my way out of being grounded now I wasn't 100% sure what this meant but I kind of got the the idea really is but she then proceeded to go into detail exactly what she did so

she pretended to cry all the way home in the car to the point where her mum gave up and said because she she told her mum her mum told her she wasn't allowed to go out so this was this was early afternoon 12 o'clock 1 o'clock and she phoned about three friends telling us this same story added a little bit more each time a little bit more information so she I don't know why she'd been grounded but she clearly she was quite young if you'd be able to be grounded you have to be young don't

you have to be grounded you'd you don't ground a 15 year old I don't think or you you you can have a bit of struggle if you do I don't know I don't know any 15 year olds and I've never had a kid so I never grounded anyone and if you are ground is coffee I've never grounded coffee either I just couldn't think of anything else that's worth this uses the word grounded I ground my teeth I do grind my teeth sometimes anyway she was like yeah and and I cried I pretended to cry I

cried all the way home in the car and then my mum gave up she said oh I go out today but you'll be grounded next Saturday instead and she said I have to make sure I'm home by 630 which is another another clue that she was very young because 630 is quite early isn't it so I have to be home I mean even unless it's for dinner I suppose but she was phoning all her friends yeah cried cried in the car cried my way out of being grounded I could really find myself getting annoyed I

don't know why it's nothing to do with me but the whole it's one of those things that divides men and women that is the idea that men believe the women can cry whenever they want which means it makes it harder for men to believe when crying if it's real or not and that's based on the cliche of it but also based on experience of seeing it in school and seeing it if you've got if you grow up with sisters you see it it's hard to know if someone's genuinely being which is being genuine so when

it comes to relationships it puts it's hard you know it's hard to know what's real and what's not and is and part of me thinks well surely not everyone does that they can't do it's just one of those cliches and I've chosen to ignore it to like no just put it down as almost just a lie let's leave it as a lie I'm sure no one would actually do that and then this person is standing there bragging about having done it to her own mother and I was like oh wow and I get on a

bus normally quite often I'd let if there's a female or anyone really male female just let them get on first before me if it's a quiet bus if it's a really busy bus I'll get on first if I'm if I'm in first in line but on this occasion I thought no I'm getting on first she don't deserve to get on first she deserves to be grounded and when we get off I get off the bus she gets off and there are about 30 kids or 30 teenagers waiting for her bunch of lads with bikes and

loads of girls and all just their base all crowded together I mean social distancing is clearly a very difficult thing for them to grasp they are the spreaders I was like oh wow so I kind of just and I thought you know what she's gonna spend the whole afternoon telling everybody the same story over and over again with such pride such pride that she'd cried yeah that's a whole story really then I went into the shop and this is supermarket and I'm sure it's the same lady that was there last week and I went up

to her counter you know the cashier to put my stuff through she said no I'm closed go to the next one so I went to the next one and then it's just as I got to the to the end of the queue she said I can come over here now and last week I said no you're right and I just carried on when I was now there was do a closed sign on her till so I just went to this to the sign where there was the person was serving I get to the end of

the queue about to put my well I've already put my basket on top of the thing which hurts my back you know whenever I do stuff like that so I don't want to do it too often and she calls me over says you can come here that tools about to close I said now it's alright I'm here now she said no it's gonna close you need to come here and she says I'm like it's not gonna hurt you just moving from one to another it's like actually it is I didn't settle to say to her

but actually it is gonna hurt me it's gonna hurt my back a lot but no worry about that and I said to her okay in that case should I move this sign from your till which says closed to the one that's now closing she said no leave it where it is so I said to the bloke on the other till do you want this sign there he said yeah okay so I move it over but I didn't realize that she wanted to close her till as well she was just seeing me getting served and she

was gonna close her till I know what's going on I think she's a bit all over the place so she gets that she has to get out of her chair to walk up and get that sign and put it on to just the end of her thing and she wanted to leave why didn't you just leave then and just let the man serve me please I don't know what's going on I think there's one of these wanting to be in control wanting to boss people around situations and having a little bit of having fun with

it I guess and then she was extra nice to me calling me sir and all this stuff just but also kind of almost in a hurry so you know she put the stuff through really quickly I'm putting it into my bags I'm evening out the bags so that they for my back I need to if I got two bags they need to be kind of the same weight and she says it's gonna be whatever 28 pound when you're ready she just sits there so I'll put I'm not going extra slow I'm just putting the stuff

in the bag and there was a bunch of people loitering around not knowing which tour to go to because this woman's just seems to be choosing who she serves so it's very confused now I don't know she was going through I know what she's going through she's definitely seemed a little bit and all the word is a bit yeah a bit you know a bit not sure already sure what's going on there I'm just glad she's not a surgeon yeah I really can't make out I can't I can't decide should we do hysterectomy gallbladder removement

or heart transplant or should I just just remove the fingernail like I'm supposed to it's like just make up your mind I don't get it I don't understand I really don't but yeah she's lovely but I'm just just saying that I don't know it's I think this telling customers what to do where they can stand where they can sit and all this stuff whether they're allowed inside the building a weird noise outside I think it's it's gone to people's heads a little bit some people got a little bit carried away with it they're enjoying the

the maybe the feeling of power the illusion of power maybe maybe that's what's happening I don't know I say just some I'm sure you know it's a minority but it does seem to be a little bit of that most people are really nice just I don't know it's just a bit strange bit strange I was in McDonald's I there's this poor lad and he was it's about seven foot tall but that's not really the point but he had this mask on and he walked to the counter out the kitchen or the other cake you know

where they cook this stuff he said I need I need a break I need ten minutes and he looked absolutely exhausted and you know the temperatures must have been really high and to be wearing a mask and stuff I really really didn't feel for him at all I didn't I didn't care no I did a little bit so you know he was given a break which is nice so I think maybe McDonald's is a good employer I don't know but I was kind of like a blessing you know he needed a break and he got

it which is good that's the whole story yeah so I'm gonna go thank you for listening remember to be kind to yourself because you deserve to be happy lots of love bye
