Pollen LOL

I have no idea what pollen looks like in a microscope. But in my mind it’s these tiny monsters that are carried by the wind and fly into people’s noses. They’re not evil, just annoying, and they have no clue what they’re doing.

Anyway, spring’s here! Which means that every day it’s either snowy or sunny.

Spring is definitely the most confusing season. The air has that amazing, earthy, warm smell. But then BAM! After only a couple of days my spring sniffles begin, because of those bewildered little pollen beasts!

I drew these at a brainstorm sesh at work yesterday, the doodles creeping all over my notes.

The Sneak #4

The Crawl. This move is a bit desperate and can cause quite a lot of attention from bystanders.

If your Unwanted Greeter hasn’t seen you but is very close by, you can pretend to look at a can of tomato soup at the lowest shelf and slowly (SLOWLY) crawl out to peek if they’re gone.

When the coast is clear, you slowly stand up, act normal (if possible) and maybe mumble something like ”Those darned lower shelves. We’re not getting any younger, I should sue this shop” (thereby diverting the attention of bystanders from your behaviour to the shelves) and walk off.

The Shades. When you see someone you know or –  even worse –  their parents, right when you decided to shop for a year’s supply of cheap TP .

”I don’t want them to know I go to the toilet!”, you’re thinking, as the sweat trickles down your back. Then you realise mid panic that your old sunglasses are in your bag. Now it’s all about standing quietly and casually and wait.

It’s impossible to do a proper Hide and Sneak with so much toilet paper, forget about it.

The Sneak #2

The Hide and Sneak. Realising in time that you simply cannot say hello to this person, because you forgot if they were in your high school class, or if they’re a colleague from another department or just someone you talked to once at a flea market.

Hiding is nice, because the person will never know you saw them, if you’re talented enough. And thereby will not be offended or hurt that you didn’t say hi. However, other people will most likely wonder what you’re doing behind the butternut squashes.
