Adventures of a Checkout Chick
Pauline came throught my checkout today. When I was doing my prac in Prep earlier in the year she was a relief teacher, and sometimes P.E teacher, and so I worked with her a bit. She’s always so nice, and probably in a small majority of teachers that I actually talk to like a regular human being (that’s not entirely true, I talk to Tanya, and Chris… and a few other like that). I have connections with her through school, and then also through her son, Sam, who went to school with Luke. He’s now in the band The Scare. I hear they’re pretty good.
I always enjoy talking with Pauline, and am sad when she has to go. She’s such a genuinely nice person.
Another interesting guy came through my checkout. When I asked him how he was she said that he was good- always good. It’s never a bad, just some days are better then others. I said that was a good attitude, and then somehow we started chatting about the environment. About how the biodegradable bags he’s made out of recycled plastic aren’t selling, but the green bags we sell at Woolworths do, and they’re not all that good… except that they stop plastic use. He said that that WAS sad.
One thing that he said that stuck with me, was that maybe our reefs dying, and trees being cleared etc. is meant to be happening… that it’s… the circle of life, kind of thing. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but it’s interesting.

yeah, kinda depressing. the future is already written and your kinda just delaying the inevitable fate of humanity. sigh. thats how i feel about the environment, its like holding back the tide with your hands. i just feel defeated thinking about it, so i don’t.
