I am about to cry.
Australians have been very mean/rude to me today.

I'm sure it was because it's over the phone and they can't see my friendly smile.

And the tearing-up might have something to do with lack of sleep, a headache and the thought of having to work until midnight tonight carrying heavy platters again.

Can you hear that?
It's the smallest violin in the world and it's playing a sympathy march just for me.
