Best and worst: How's your week been?

By FREYA KING

Welcome to this week’s Best and Worst. It’s your chance to reflect and share what’s going on in your world; the things that made you happy and the things that made you accidentally lose all faith in humanity (I am looking at you, ‘triple-shot-soy-3/4-piccolo-with-honey-and-can-i-please-have-that-right-now-even-though-I-am-at-the-end-of-this-very-long-line-I-am-very-busy-and-important’ lady.)

I’ll go first to show you all how it’s done.

Best: My friend has discovered a new talent. An amazing, entertaining, brightens-up-my-day talent. He takes stupid, embarrassing, random  photos of me and puts them next to pictures of animals I look like. Top of the list are pug dogs. Seriously, the resemblance is uncanny. If you need to borrow my best to brighten your week take a look through this gallery!

(ALSO PORRIDGE! COLD WEATHER = PORRIDGE! HOORAY!!)

Worst: (apart from the fact I just posted pictures comparing my ridiculously attractive self to various animals on the internet…)

Obviously all the terrible news this week. It makes me appreciate how lucky I am to live in a country like Australia, where these scenes of death and violence are so shocking and foreign to us.

But also on a more self indulgent note: people who are rude to hospitality workers! STOP IT! As a Journalism student  professional barista/waiter/bartender I just do not have time for anyone who feels that they have the right to talk down to someone whose job it is to provide them with a service. Also people who are especially demanding without acknowledging that they are being so or have no concept of how to order off the menu… THERE IS A MENU FOR A REASON! NO WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DRY RICE CRACKERS WE ARE A COFFEE SHOP! End rant. 

So now it’s over to you. What’s your best and worst for the week? Any animal that you share an undeniable likeness to?
