Well I still don’t know if I will have a job at the end of the month, no information has been forthcoming as of yet. Life seems to go on fairly normal and even although the manager has had a few meetings with management on branch matters, I still don’t know if I have been the subject of any of those conversations.

I’ve had a look around for work and there ain’t much about and as much as I am looking forward to a holiday, I think that it would be better to stay put if I can. I’ll be able to continue with my renovations and not dig into the kitty; mind you I am going to buy what I need through the company while I can still get cost pricing. I’ll miss that if I leave.

I’ll also miss to a lesser extent some of the weird conspiracy theories that my long haired drug smoking middle aged colleague comes away with. This week there have been some “Work cover” workers helping out in the warehouse and the hippy and “The Old Guy” have been deep in the mire. It seems that the Rothschild’s, the wealthy Jewish banking family, that have a hand in almost everything in the world including founding members of the Illuminati  ………well did you know that they now live on the dark side of the moon. My long haired friend’s new friend’s wife works in some secret government agency and she knows for a fact that this place exists.

My hippy friend has also convinced himself that he has cancer and will die soon. Bowel cancer to be exact, even although the tests so far have shown nothing more than low iron. In the past 12 months I have not seen him eat anything remotely healthy. Every day he will get some sort of junk food, burger, chips, kebab, pizza, chocolate and to wash it all down either iced coffee or soft drink. Everyone tells him that if he changes his diet and eats real food then he will generally feel a whole lot better and his body might actually repair itself. I did not know that hamburgers were the same as fresh meat………..you can’t argue with stupidity.

The cost of all this junk bought every week must cost a fortune. But he tells everyone that he has plenty of money, except when it comes to a deposit for a house. He wants a house, he says. He bought $1400 worth of hash today, this will last him six months. It’s cheaper to do this because if he bought it every week then he would have paid nearly $200 more. Forward thinking for sure.

He spends most of his time at home playing computer games, mostly VR games or has he has described to us VR porn…….which is a whole other story. He has learned so many things about the female anatomy by immersing himself in the virtual and I am unable to impart most of what he has told me because it is quite disturbing.

He has an online dating app and he tells us that he only gets matched to ‘pigs or dogs’ He is no oil painting I may add. I can’t imagine anybody in their right mind giving him a date and then again he wouldn’t really know what to do with a real person. The sad thing is he is just the tip of a worldwide epidemic of nutters that have fallen down the rabbit hole believing every crazy conspiracy that comes along. I mean he likes Trump. I don’t think he is dangerous in any way but he is a rather sad creature that is 50 years old and has done almost nothing in the real world.
