so this morning i had an early breakfast with some good mates and then headed home but unfortunately picked the busy intersection of cars heading off to work and so had to wait til the traffic cop directed me through. i had a lot of fun. It was incredible seeing someone so obviously enjoying their job or task at hand. cos think about it for a second. he’s a traffic cop. he’s directing impatient people and making them stop when they only want to go. but he was directing like the new Zealand quirky cricket umpire, Billy Bowden, making over-exaggerated hand signals, dodging cars with his body as they slid past him, huge smile. totally into it, totally. made my day. imagine if everyone lived their lives and approached their work like that guy.

and by ‘everyone’ i mean even just the okes at home affairs…

ohmygosh how this country would change.
