free my ass!

i skipped work today. why? well, why the fuck not?

i'm in a local coffee shop that offers free wifi access. read that again, free wifi access. i know it's not a big deal for some of you guys in your planets and galaxies, but in this country, and in this city, anything free is a big deal. specially for cheap fuckers like me.

it's my first time in this joint. and i was really excited to use that FREE thing announced by that FREE sign hanging by their door. i sat down, fired up my machine, and called for the waiter for some coffee. the smiling schmuck handed me the menu and said i would have to order something like 250 bucks' worth of food and drinks for me to use their FREE WIFI.

now. wait. what. the. fuck.

help me out. i got lost somewhere between the seventh day of creation and 215th episode of prison break here. did you say i have to order 250 bucks' worth of your junk? that stuff in the menu? i don't fucking think so asshole!!!

look, i was minding my own business, wandering around, looking for a place to spend some time i ripped off from work when your stupid yellow sign that says FREE called me from across the street! i was promised FREE WIFI connection and i'm going to get it! i want just a cup of coffee and i won't be tricked by any of your stupid marketing ploys you scheming oppressive capitalist BOAR!!!

that was a pretty intense moment right there. i looked straight in the waiter's eyes and told him that. he was sweating like a 200-pound 10-year-old who couldn't climb the rope in gym class.

two hours later, i'm still here. writing this post. with a cup of coffee, two glasses of iced tea, a continental breakfast, pancakes, a platter of potato chips, and a half-eaten pizza alfredo thin crust. all worth a little over 500 bucks.

fuck!!!

i should've reported for work today.

//i'm out.
