So many long weekends
These long weekends are beginning to take there toll. My body is so used to sleeping in, that it is getting thoroughly peeved when it has to wake up at 6am. Also, Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice-cream is both tasty, and very likely to make you sick if you eat more than a tablespoon full. My brain has gone into stupid mode at the moment, and my body into lazy mode, so that I have turned into what I most despise. Stupid and lazy. Hmmph. I think I may go and be more lazy and play some more FFXI. Tomorrow will be productive.

Blue suede shoes
So, I got me some blue suede shoes...hoorah. I also went out tonight. It was fun. It was like being a schoolgirl again. We went to the local chinese chippy, and gots us some chips. We then went to the pub and drank drinks bought for us by the area manager. We then moved on, where I had a huge debate with some bloke about science, Carbon-52 abundance, religion and FFVIII. It was fun, and it was on a school night. I also got the bus back home. Rebellious me decided to sit on the botton section (shock, horror) and face the opposite direction the whole way home. I thought it was cool. I don't get out much these days......

Marbles
I had a whole lot more to say, but I lost it, along with my mind. I can honestly say, at this point in time, that I hate my job. No explanation, simply that. I may like it next week, or next month, but I hate it today, and I'm sure I'll hate it tomorrow.

Oops, I did it again
Somehow the scissors ended up in my hands. I have no idea how. It was dreadful. One moment I was moisturising, the next I was hacking away. I now have a delicate fringe, and choppy hair. By delicate, I mean short........and skew (asymmetrical to those fashionstas). Who knows what else I have done without my knowing. Oh well, change is good, and it'll grow back. I would love to post photos, but I do not have a camera *hint, hint, birthday in 38 days and 11.5 hours*
I may just have my expansion pack for FFX I today. Oh the excitement >< I'm not like the other girls, am I? Looking forward to computer games, whilst wearing my Choos , with a New Scientist in hand. What is normal anyway?

Stupid people
Not only do I hate lazy people, but I have discovered that I have very little time for stupid people too. Not one person is genetically stupid, just too lazy to try increase their brain matter. The brain, like muscle, must be exercised.

Slave to the music
I really do wonder where I come up with these crap titles. So, back to work, and thank the dear sweet Lord there wasn't any awkwardness amongst the colleagues today after Thurday's shenanigans. I am however a bit, shall we say annoyed, at the situation at my work which involves certain members of staff and their ability to get time off with 2 hours notice, which leaves me picking up the pieces. As much as I like to be kept busy, I do not appreciate working a 10 hour day EVERYDAY because certain people feel they need time off in the afternoon. If they were my employees, they would be sacked. Harsh, but true. I hate lazy people.
Good word of the day in the free dictionary....."paronomasia- (noun) play on words". I'm going to use that in my conversations tomorrow....."What ho, that was such a paronomasia you just used....chortle chortle chortle". I shall also attempt to get "raspberries" into as many sentences (this appears to be a daily task) and sing the bananaphone song and drive EVERYONE up the wall with it. Speaking of everyone in our office, we have a new Area manager, who has had the delight of forming his first impression of me. I have given him the following scenarios to base his judgment:
thumping one of the lads with some important security documents-for teasing me about the last area manager, which is a just and nobel cause for thumping someone,
singing the bananaphone song at the top of my voice,
and threatening to wear a box on my head...again (I shall save the story of the previous area manager for another time).
I'm such a model employee.

in limbo
I'm in limbo at the moment, not really sure which direction I'm going. I've decided to take each day as it comes, and that the future depends on me getting through each day. On a positive note, I have finally finished my "Fats of life" assignment, and am now back online after much blood, sweat, tears, wiping of all info on computer, more tears, threatening to throw the computer out the window, and more tears. I now have a working computer thanks to my lovely brother, who at times I sometimes hate, but the rest of it love him to bits.
Hope everyone had a good Easter, I'm going to watch some strongbad e-mails as I have not done so in a while.

Mindless drivel?
So, I have been out of action on the internet front for a bit now. Not for any "time-off" purposes, purely because I moved rooms, and my stupid piece of crap machine doesn't like wireless, so I have moved it back downstairs to where I can plug it in directly.
My life has ebbed and flowed over the past few weeks. I've been working my bum off, and appear to have made impression with most departments who want me to join their teams, however with my studying situation I am unable to commit, and unable to tell them why (I don't like jinxing things). I've also been very stressed, and not the happy stress that gets me out of bed in the morning. I feel alone in the middle of a crowd at the moment as well.
Great excitement on the bird flu front, too much to say really....all I know is it is increasing the number of people who think I'm absolutely out of my mind for being excited. Census people have just been round the house, great fun! I applied for my renewal passport, that seems to be a highlight of my week.
Well, not exactly the highlight. I went out "on the razz" (as I like to call it) for the first time in a while. It was our area manager's leaving do and I intended staying for 1 drink. 1 drink turned into far too many, but I did keep my composure.....until someone pushed me into a ledge and my 3 inch heal gave in and made me fall to the ground like a drunken lush, spilling some guys drink. Thank God Kathy rescued me and fended off the crazed, alcahol-drenched man. Needless to say I'm not looking forward to work. I wasn't stumbling around, but people never believe you when you say "I'm not drunk", as it usually is met with "and I'm not Jesus" as a response.
Mind, my night of embarrassment was not over. The area manager, the same one that thinks I should model, came over to give these wise words of advice:
1.The company can fulfill your dreams
2. Aim for the stars
3. Always listem to your mother.....and here's the corker
4. Keep your fashion sense
I did try to avoid him because I knew this type of thing would happen. I gracefully acknowledged his wise words of advice and ran off to find some normal people to talk to. I could not contain myself, and had to tell somebody. I found Kathy and Kevin talking on the stairs and so preceed to tell them at the top of my voice (as is done after one too many) these wise words, and what I thought of them, not noting there gestures and panicked look in their faces. Alas, to my avail, the area manager standing behind me. Thank goodness he is leaving the island today.
So the evening was going pretty pants, and I thought it best I leave. But no, I get roped into talking to corporate managers, who I will not be able to meet eyes with on Tuesday. I'm just glad I kept my mouth shut. Oh, and I almost punched someone too, how fun! It wasn't out of anger, but more frustration because they said I reminded them of Keira Knightley. They must have been the fifth person who has said that, and it really annoys me. And then I was compared to Mylene Klass who "as pretty as she is, annoys the hell out of" the person I was talking to. Lovely! I said I reminded myself of me>< Very profound for 10:45 in the evening.
All and all, and up and down night, with moments I hope the rest of my work mates forget. Also, bonus on me not going out, people though it would be great to buy me drinks. Total expenditure the whole evening > £2.20 to get the bus home.
Hopefully this long weekend will do me some good
