FOXTEL SELLS or does it?

Well, its been a while since I've made a post, so much for the whole make a post everyday thing. Weekends I tend to be out being social with what friends I have, you know the invisible ones in my head? All with their own wacky quirks.

That and doctors, OH LORDY I could go on and on with the doctors and what crazy theories they keep coming up with, I swear they pulled my name out of a jar and then said "Let's mess with this girl."

And mess away they did...still getting tests done but Yes~ Don't have Cancer or PCOS but now they want to send me to a dermatologist, joy, another $200 down the drain~


Righteo, now time for the actual bloggy part of my blog. Remember when I blogged about mall stalls?

Well this week's stall is Foxtel, that's right an advertising placement for Foxtel IQ, Offering free installation, free foxtel IQ free this and free that please don't read our small print just blindly sign the paper stall.

Now me being the friendly little gal I am walked up to the stall and had a nosey, noticing that the guy was having trouble setting it up, he kept getting technical errors.

"You alright? Seem to be having some trouble there." I said, tilting my head to the side to stare into the blue screen of the tv. Heck, even TV's have blue screens of death.

The guy jumped up, and acted as though I never asked the question, "HI THERE! Are you interested in foxtel? We have such and such amazing channels and this and that record live tv, not to mention blah blah blah blah free installation.

You can tell I was paying utmost attention to this mans ramblings, I stopped him and asked. "Do you own foxtel?"

He said no, I asked why, he scratched the back of his head and glanced around, almost afraid, perhaps he was being watched by the higher ups, perhaps he was going to unveil knowledge that was deemed forbidden. He wiped his brow and changed the subject.

"You get three months free!"

I raised an eyebrow and then stated that the programming on foxtel was horrible, things were constantly repeated and there was rarely ever anything new showing.

At this statement he gave another glance around the shops, what had gotten him so scared. "Well..." He began, I leaned in, was he about to divulge this mystifying secret?

"I hope you reconsider next time." He stammered, his voice low, defeated.

Dang, I thought something awesome was going to be said, I went to walk away, bidding him a good day and luck, for the poor bloke would need it.

Just as I turned to walk away, he called out to me.

"Uhm...I agree, I hate foxtel."

I gave a smile, poor, poor guy. Hates the company he works for. I turned and gave him a nod and another smile, "See-ya." I had a smile upon my face, for the lad had stuck up for himself, spoken his mind. Things would surely liven up for me. Little did I know that once my back was turned, he was attacked, jumped by several men cloaked in orange garb, muffling him and whisking him away, more than likely to be brainwashed into loving the Cable TV franchise.



Not much to say really, just another adventure regarding the Mall Stalls~

Mall Stalls

Every mall has them, they sell their baubles and gadgets, beauty and make-up, jewelery and even various edible tasty FREE food samples. These little stalls are the backbone of today's supermarket body.


Now I work right next to a small shopping complex, wouldn't really call it a mall, but dangit, I'm still gonna call those little guys mall stalls, because they are out there putting themselves on the line as they flail about in their scarves, perfume, tacos and jewelery. This shopping complex usually only has one mall stall at a time, considering the size that is all the poor girl can handle.

Each week, the mall stall changes, and I always find myself peering down the long stretch of various shops to see what new and exciting stall awaits my little hazel eyes. Last week they had a stall filled with necklaces, rings bracelets, the works. It was all for a low low price of $10, but hey, when you have low low quality you gotta sell it cheap. I do it admit though, some of the things there were really lovely. I bought a butterfly necklace and a bracelet that can only be described as gaudy. Cheap and gaudy, cause that's the way I like it baby.

The week before was a stall advertising gutters and roof insulation, a little boring there really. I was disappointed. Ah! But it didn't stop me from stopping and talking to the guy, who was quite surprised at my interest. although it was fake interest I'm sure it was the highlight of his day. Having a short girl walk up to him and actually asking about the product he was selling. Even though my question was, "Do you have any purple gutters? I like purple." I think he thought I was joking, but no, I was deadly serious. One day, I will own a house and it WILL have purple gutters, with Ivy growing up a wall, I will have a welcome mat with a witty remark etched into it.

Sadly, there was no purple gutter, entertained me during my lunch break though, which is always a good thing. It's better than sitting on a bench being a geek playing my PSP and yelling at various Final Fantasy characters as I battle away in Dissidia.

I would also like to throw out a thanks to everyone, I now have 16 followers, makes me a happy little chappy. Since this here blog is usually my way of filling in time at work during my lunch break. I will soon have a camera, meaning I can finally get my Vlogging under way, tell me little bloggers, when I do start making videos on youtube will you valiantly stride over to there and take a gander?
