Carlton Espresso, Lygon St
June 18, 2007
I love listening in on people’s conversations. ‘Ears-dropping,’ as one of the guys on RRR said the other morning. And you can always rely on Lygon St for some bimbo-talk.
While I was waiting for D to show up in her ear-muffs and Hawaiian wedges with socks, riding her pink ladies bike, I listened to two women next to me. One, the brunette, was really dumb. The other one, the blonde, was much smarter, and was being very patient with the brunette. The brunette was wearing spray-on Tsubi jeans, thigh-high, high-heeled leather boots, and some black-knit wrap thing that probably cost $870.
Here are some things the brunette was confused about:
(1) Her monthly pay cycle. How does that work? The brunette had started a job in the middle of the month, and therefore was confused by how she would be paid monthly. The blonde patiently explained.
(2) Separate bank accounts. The blonde explained that she saved money by having another bank account not linked to her credit or EFTPOS accounts.
Meanwhile, behind the coffee machine, a five-year-old girl was standing on a crate making all the coffees. She was really efficient, and made a good short mac.

i would have explained it in terms of a woman’s menstrual cycle. ie that it usually comes at the same time each month, but sometimes things go awry and it’s always useful to be prepared to cope. sorry cant extend that shoddy analogy [payback for being gross on my site]for separate bank accounts. btw very nice perspective on the pic.
