Don't matter if you're black or white in Adventures in paradise

I did an extra shift today and helped out, covering the Inventory Manager’s shift (No idea what he was doing). MAN it was busy. I didn’t stop all shift. I even cut my breaks to about half. Just had too much to get done and by the time I left there was still one cage leftover to do and I just thought ‘You know what? It’ll still be there tomorrow’. Phewie. I’d heard rumours of the inventory staff ‘cutting corners’ before I started the position and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what they were doing and why it’s currently so shithouse. There’s no way he’d possibly do the amount of work I got completed today haha. If he does, I’d love to actually see it.
Anyway, I’m only in for four hours tomorrow. It’s that weird afternoon shift I have once a week. It’s kind of annoying, kind of not, because I pretty much have to go home, eat, shower and sleep right away for a 6:30am start on the Friday morning. Doing well so far. Tomorrow at least I can sleep in a little and not worry about an alarm.
It’s been different having an alarm, but really, all I have to do is go to sleep earlier so I don’t wake up so groggy. I was cutting it fine with how late I was up last night, with the damn tennis on and all. I find it hard to switch off.
It’s just such a contrast from the previous shifts I was doing to what I’m doing now. I set at least three alarms and make sure my phone isn’t on silent before I go to sleep haha. If I get up on the first alarm, that means I have time for gym! Otherwise I have to go after work, and it’s always busy then.
I saw the strangest thing walking home today. Well, it’s not really strange but different. Two women were walking toward me in the opposite direction. I KNOW right?? WOMEN! Nah in all seriousness, what was interesting about them is that one of them was black and the other was white. Now, I’m not talking your normal black-“You-don’t-know-me!”-Jerry-Springer-woman and ditzy-white-girl-wasted-woman - they were a complete contrast in skin pigmentation. She was the blackest-black I’ve ever seen on a person. Like, Somalian black-black. And her white friend? She wasn’t just white - she was Albino-white. Not only Albino-white, but her HAIR was dyed white also.
So, it was quite a sight. I’m not sure if they do it deliberately for shock-factor, or if they were just friends and that’s how it is, or if they were secretly filming a Youtube video I had no idea about, but if it weren’t so creepy, I totally would have taken a photo of them to show you guys what I’m talking about LOL. Unfortunately, due to probably being labelled a racist for pulling my camera out to take a photo of a normal black and a white chick just walking along, I am here writing about it instead. So, just picture pitch-black-chick next to albino-white-dyed-hair-white chick :D
I’d never seen anything like it before. I wonder if they were a lesbian couple? I mean, the local gay bar WAS only a street away haha. And the white-girls hair was really short :P Way to kill a stereotype if you were, girls!
Yeah. That’s my story.
