Everything is in place. I rang the airlines, for SAS and brunei, confirmed dates and times, I have roskilde tickets.
I didn’t feel like working today. So I did as little as possible. However I need to comment that my friend J and I have discovered we like looking at the bloke. We were out drunk on friday night, and stumbling between pubs, I think I commented about this guy being hot and then it was like.. yeah.. he is hot. He rocks, and we like staring at him and stuff. Lucky for me he is in the team I am looking after, so I get to spend some eyecandy time. Gotta love window shopping!!
OK so lets talk about Friday night.
I was out with friends celebrating our anniversary date working at the company I slave for, we got drunk and kicked out of the pub (Grosvenor) at 9.30pm, so we staggered up to fenians.. and someone brought me a drink, a mudslide.. was nice. Anyways, we sms’d a friend’s hubby to let him know that she was OK. Then somewhere in the alcoholic haze, we figured that she had a headache. So out came the nurofen, and someone commented that the pills on the table looked sus. We were in this booth which was secluded.. and I dunno what got into me… I grabbed a beerglass, and wacked it down on the neurofen and out came the credit cards and the rolled up bills. Totally shocked one of my mates when he came back from the loo and it looked like we were doing lines. For a bunch of 25 - 35 year olds, we were incrediblly immature. Yes we have pics, but due to the nature of those pics, i won’t be posting them! Just use your imagination. 
Appreciation.. such a nice word, and today I was appreciated by people, not sure who, and I was given phone as a reward for doing my job, and doing it well. A panasonic. Great lil flip phone, but I don’t need it - I have a new one of my own that I purchased already. I know dad wants a phone, so I think I will give him this new phone.
It has bluetooth, camera, MMS capability, and I think it has infrared aswell. I had a bit of a play with it tonight and put it away. I am going to charge it, and when I see my parents I will give him the phone. It’s exciting to have a new phone, but it’s just not me. Plus the operating system is not as easy to navigate.
the countdown begins for my trip and I am officially freaking out.. i was unofficially freaking out over the weekend and giving myself tension headaches, but I have decided to acknowledge it. Every time I think about it, I get a tension headache.. throbbing temples.. ache across the forehead and sandpaper eyes. I did a testpack on the weekend, great idea with rolling. It works well. I like it. Now I need to get some nice underwear, I don’t want to be caught in old undies! What if I hook up with a sexy euromale?!?

This is my rant of the month to be honest.
I have had channel 10 on with their Video Smash Bits, and the amount of flogging of Premium SMS services, for ringtones, screensavers etc just sickens me. Alot of people think yay ringtones, all I think of is the calls I get from angry customers who sign up for these services off their own bat, and then scream at the mobile phone company who provides access.
We don’t force people to SMS “X34″ to one of those 19 numbers, for the latest Pink song. Nor do we force those desperado’s who watch TV at night and SMS “Flirt” to 19 77 WXYZ. So why should we have to refund you the cost of the SMS service when you signed up for it in the first place?
Yes, there are companies that do basically subscribe you to their services on a random basis, however those really are far and few between. What the problem is here in Australia is that there is no regulation of these 3rd party companies. No laws governing their use. It’s extremely difficult to unsubscribe from the companies, and the customer service reps when you DO actually speak to them are really rude and nasty.
When I talk to people about their mobile services, I tell them not to subscribe to anything they aren’t prepared to pay for. Read the terms and conditions and read their websites. Learn how to unsubscribe from a service you sign up for, and understand that mobile phone companies will do what they can to help you unsubscribe, but they are not a charity, they didn’t twist your arm to send that SMS, all we do is provide network access. If you signed up for it, and we can see it, ultimately it’s your problem.

Why do people think that blog posts need to be about something? Or in particular, Macho Man. Everyone craps on in their blogs about the most mundane shit that happens in their days. So I will crap on about the shopping spree yesterday that I forked out about $500 on clothes and bike accessories.
Good purchases to be honest, I need to update my wardrobe, and need some stuff to wear that are more summer like. I haven’t got a great collection of casual shirts and stuff. I generally didn’t socialise this year due to working to save for this trip. I got 5 tshirts, 3 nice tops, a gym tracky kind of set which are OK for travelling in for the length that I am going to be in the aeroplane for, and another pair of jeans. Bike lock, and light.
This morning is housework, and trying to see how much stuff I can fit into my suitcase. I am almost done with the hosuework side of things, if I get it done in a good time, I might go into the city and get my Tattoo done. See how it goes.

today was like any other day for me. Get up at 7.00am after hitting the snooze button on my mobile for 30 minutes, streak into the shower, elect not to wash my hair because it is too cold, if it is up in a pony tail no one is ever going to notice that its a SCRAPPY hairday. Decide to wear black, look stylish and put on my red heart pendant, and cruise into work, grab a coffee, sit down at my desk, log in, read my mail, and get a hit of questions of people needing my attention. About 5 hours later, I get time to go out get a coffee and chat with the smokers in the smoker’s corner. I don’t smoke, but if you wanna get with the gossip at work, you gotta hang out in the corner. Everyone knows that’s the “in the know” crowd. So it’s not surprising that people think I am a smoker, I am out there enough.
So the real point of this post is about men/boys and why do some of them behave like women? Someone I know was having a non committment type relationship, no strings.. and if things work out then yeah they are official and stuff. Well this time, the boy acted like a girl, and decided that he despite the ideal relationship for a bloke, sex with no committment from the chick, he can’t do it, and has decided to forgo the sex.
What is wrong with him? It’s left my mate confused, and angry, and wanting to know why does she care? Is he playing games? I am scratching my head at this one. I have virtually no experience at all in relationships given that I have been single for a while (happily) and was in a long long relationship from the age of 20, and I haven’t heard of this before either. So what makes a guy, after being in a non committal relationship with fringe benefits decide that he would rather be friends and back off on the sex stuff until he sorts hishead out. He has had issues in the past, divorce etc, so what’s the go here?
Getting close to that time of year when I need to change the blog, so that’s what I have done. another theme by v4ny. She’s becoming a favourite of mine. Still can’t get RSS to work right though, sorry 
I wish I didn’t stress so much at work right now. There is no need for me to, but I am.
I enjoyed work for a few moments today when sitting watching a man sell his wares. He was kinda cute, in a geek way, but he said that livejournal had been around for 18 months, when in fact it’s been around since late 1999 early 2000. Ah well, never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
I just did a post review and fuck me, did I post a load of crap this month.
I would apologise but I don’t care.
So I purchased a stack of money for my trip.. £40, and 300 danish crowns and 300 Swedish Kronor. ($100 + 75 + 50) Quite cool, amex have this promo to buy currency and not take a commission for it. Probably not the BEST value, but convenient, since I have basically done the whole trip online.
I searched for and paid for my ticket to the UK, and DK online, my ticket to Roskilde - online, my travel insurance - online, most of my passports - obtained online, my Birth Certificate request online app, then print and fax off.
I am pretty organised now with my trip, just need one more large bag for my luggage, oh and then I need to buy clothes for the trip.!!! New undies and bra’s! what an excuse!! I love it. What’s the best way to pack.. Roll.. or fold?
I have grown to love that word, a new batch of newbies at work uses that often, and I will adapt it to the person who sent in a phone claiming that the screen was cracked, but was a little more damaged than that.

So this is the phone below, looking a little worse for wear with some slight damage.. yeah right.
Who on earth would return a phone in this condition, and expect to get another phone free of charge? They must be dumb. They will have to pay for the cost of that phone now.
Idiots!
