I put in my passport applications.

I purchased my travel insurance, at an extremely discounted rate.. *boggle*

Savings is looking healthy.. 2 months to go.. I need to find another $2000.. It’s all happening now.

Work is pretty cool too.

A combination post tonight.

I had to log a fault at work tonight, and rang the special number that you ring to say “hi, we’re broken, we’ve done fault testing someone be good and fix it for us” and I got some Honcho dude, above a few people in our IT Dept. Rather than dealing with the problem, he had a go at me for ringing. “how did you get this number?” “why are you ringing me?” and totally had a go at me and I was sitting there absolutely stunned. Asshat. I repeated at least 3 times that I rang the magic number and it diverted to him… eventually he got over that and I told him the problem and he hung up and I was left fuming. Since as a result of the fault, I ended up missing the bus, I stayed at work a little longer.

I got some studio photographs taken by a friend, for mother’s day. I look OK Mum should like the photos. I don’t think I look amazing, but at least I don’t break the camera lense. I bumped into some other friends at her studio and I have to keep it all a big secret or her current boyfriend finds out. I kinda feel weird talking to her. She’s had gastric band surgery, and I just don’t think I could do that to myself.  I kind of think that it’s cheating. However I don’t profess to understand why some people, not all, choose to do that to themselves. Some people yes, need it.. others, like my friend don’t. But each to their own.

The other night at work.. we had a caller who made my call centre friends laugh their asses off. He started off by asking about 1900 prices and how much to call them. Then after they tell him the prices, he asks if they like big or small cocks.

Well.. we’re so jaded by now, that getting these kind of calls is a bit of excitement. Opinions as to what we would really like to say range from.. SO BIG THAT YO MUMMA SCREAMS, to when training kicks in.. “sorry sir, is there anything else we can do for you today?”

For about an hour we got these calls, the team leaders were disappointed they weren’t getting them. Eventually he stopped and we moved on. Was amusing for a while! I’m into my 4th week this week being a relief team leader. It certainly has been interesting, and working 6 days a week is kind of doing my head in. I am looking forward to a 4 day weekend coming up 2 weeks time. *yay*

I got some photographs taken by a friend of mine, for mum for mother’s day. I really do need to lose weight - sure I have lost heaps already, but my goodness, I look icky in some of those photos. The good thing is that some of them look great. I paid dirt cheap price for prints and the shoot, and I might get my sister in with me in November 2006 to get some photo’s taken for mum and dad for Christmas.

I must confess to you something i’ve done.

for I have been completely disloyal

i have not wanted to post at all

I have sat here, contemplating thoughts in my head

they go round instead

and i find…

i’m nothing.

random words flying through

the blogosphere hard and true

for where i go they follow

for when i write i wallow

and something, ticks loudly in my ears

what can I hear?

The sounds… of blogging..

OK so that was a lame post, but I happen to like that simon and garfunkel song, and typed out the words in my head to that song. Musical blogging.

I think we should all try writing a post to a song. See if we can get something happening here. A new trend.

I don’t really, but it felt like a good title at the time.

I felt a little frustrated at work today when I had to tell someone off for doing something. One of the things I really dislike about being someone who can write up filenotes that affect another person’s career, is how careful you have to be at wording everything, and documenting it all. Then the chick got feisty! That made me laugh, I still felt bad for making her feel like shit. Ah well.

OK X is getting me more $$ - just great now that I know how much the car is going to cost to fix, AND how much the travel insurance is going to cost, which is pretty good! I am very excited! I am going to be finishing doing the passport thing next week, so bloody irritating that I didn’t have all the documentation and life is that much harder now I don’t have a car to drive places like.. to parent’s house to get dad’s aussie passport.
MM got me a bike!!! For when I visit! That makes me happy, I asked JJ what she thought and she started singing Daisy Daisy give me your answer, do… and if no one knows the rest of that song I’ll write it out later. She has dubbed MM some name that I can’t reveal, but it has resulted in him calling her Sheila and her new squeeze Bruce!

Roskilde is looking awesome! So many cool bands going.. and folk singers and the like.. Franz Ferdinand, Guns’n'Roses, Bob Dylan, Roger Waters, Wolfmother, Opeth, WhomadeWho. Its going to be a massive time and I will be submerged in music! I am more excited about that at times than I am about the fact I am meeting MM! All that being said, It’s going to be a special time and I am going to enjoy travelling around EU by myself.

JJ and i went out on thursday for cawfee..

We spent $$ on earrings and stuff

We went to Carousel.. we purchased shoes.

I spent 99,50 on a pair of pink suede doc martens, down from $220 - i rock. JJ purchased shoes which matched her dress she’s wearing for a wedding to which I have not been invited.

This person upset me anyways and told me not to work overtime, apparently I am not supposed to work the same shifts she does. OK whatever, but I can’t do that and be a proper relief TL, I wonder if she is threatened. ah well.

My pink doc’s rock.

It’s kind of nice if I didn’t feel like I was obliged to. The rubbish truck man has rocked up with his big truck and emptying out the trash. I know I have cast a couple of guilty looks over at the binbag in the kitchen after yesterday’s half cleanup. Since I have a full weekend off this weekend, I might do some more housework I am sure I have another house inspection soon.

I read the news online and found that they had some interesting photo’s of cyclone larry and the header was “Hellish scenes” or something like that. They show a fence blown down, a car next to a branch and some obligatory night scene that looks wet. OOOH how hellish. Not. Meh

I went out with JJ the other night, Basically after work on Saturday we both looked under the hood of my car and pronounced it dead, so it’s sitting in the carpark until I can be assed driving it home. We decided to go to the pub instead. Liberating not having a car, it means we can both drink! (her car recently kicked the bucket too, with a headgasket/cracked head, except she went and purchased a new car)

We invited her new man, still dating and not an official couple yet. I have been giving her shit over it because she’d do the same to me. Thing is, he’s rather nice, as in person, I think I was drunk and said.. “at least you’re not a pretty boy, I hate pretty boys” I hope he took that as a compliment…  Anyways, I hope it works for her. She was my last single friend. I need new single friends.

I have been a little busy this month. Thus the lack of posts.

I have had to do early morning starts at work and have discovered I really don’t sleep that well when its early and when it’s warm at night. I have been a pretend team leader at work for two weeks, and now have another 7 weeks ahead of me looking after other people’s teams.   I dunno if I want to become a team leader, but I will look at that after I get back from my trip  to Roskilde in July, plus I’ll meet MM and that’s a prospect that scares me.

My car has bitten the big one, no nearly about it. Dad thinks I have blown a headgasket. There’s no water in the oil, but I can’t drive more than 7 kms without the car overheating. Getting to my parent’s house is going to be a problem. I have next weekend off, so I may book a towtruck to dump the car at mum and dads. That is going to cost me a small fortune to get it fixed when I really needed to save that money.

Or I can just deal with it, and hope that I don’t need to drive until my trip. Then I’ll get someone to look after my house and stuff whilst I am gone and deal with my car issues when I get back home.
