The funny sloth scene is more than a little true. I went to the Department of Transport yesterday literally to pick up a spare number plate (It’s the same number plate as the car, just goes on the bike rack so the bikes don’t obfuscate the rear plate) that is there waiting for me. A 5-minute errand. I got there an hour before closing.
‘Nope, we’re too busy today. Come back another day’.
‘but the number plate is here. I’m just picking it up. I don’t need anything from you’.
‘There are too many people waiting. Some of them have been here three hours already.’
‘But, you’re only open 9-4:30 weekdays. It is super rare that I get a chance to drop in while you’re open.’
‘Take a day off work to visit us. Get here by lunchtime.’
Not much better in Vic, and I’m guessing all the states. Tassie and the ACT may be exceptions I guess since like nobody lives there, although on account of nobody living there, maybe nobody works there just making the problem worse.
My advice? Start acting like you live in Hawaii. Or maybe Spain at siesta time. Everything mañana. License plates? Mañana. Doing your work? Mañana. Losing 30% of your blood every 10 minutes? Mañana, but maybe a little less mañana than the rest of them
