Today, I filled out the census. It was weird filling it out, the bluntness of the questions and it really reflected my new life here. No, I am not currently doing any volunteer work. What religion am I? Well, I went to a Baptist Church, now I go to an Anglican one, i'm not sure I identify as either, but not putting something feels dishonest... No, I've never been married. OKAY!?!? JUST SHUTTUP CENSUS< LEAVE ME ALONE*#
In other news, today I saw Policemen on bikes. Proper Police bikes, little matching blue riding shorts, guns holstered. It was quite funny. Then I rode really hard to beat them. I did for a while, then they turned a corner and my feeling of success died a little. But I totally won. Yusssss.
Work is going well, i've been working hard on shots and am getting gross, calloused barista hands. I'm also not making the worst coffee in any cafe ever, which is a good thing. I'm pretty stoked at how natural it's becoming, in problem-solving, changing the grind, tamping and everything. I did fault testing last week where you can tell by the pour and taste what you've done wrong, whether it's grind, tamp, dose etc. So awesome, i love the science and learning it all. It feels like uni though, the whole day on the machine focusing and concentrating is like studying for a test.
My cough has mostly gone which meant that I rode Fugly Rose again today for the first time in about 2 weeks.
I also have new jokes about my guns (instead of using the usual "call a vet 'cos these puppies are sick")...
"have you met the twins? Des and Troy? DES-TROY".
Hmm. Funnier in real life.
