Watercooler 0: Nothing Is A Problem For Me

(hah, "my collection", makes me sound like I take it all seriously)

Ed, just the *thought* of that makes my eyes hurt at this time in the morning.

I am ridiculously happy this morning, despite the miserable weather. I mean, I'm normally pretty cheerful anyway but I just feel ultra-smiley today, for no particular reason.

I had a very successful time last night buying Christmas presents online (including winning some brilliant yet completely silly items from ebay), and now I'm sitting here with a lovely cup of freshly-brewed coffee, munching a slice of buttery wholegrain toast, listening to the radio while the rain lashes down outside; I have just the right amount of work busy-ness, and feel all contented. I wish I could bottle this feeling and give it away to people.

xpost : the b side was The Magic Roundabout sketch! ("I wonder if Florence is a virgin?")

I've currently stuck in an end of month figures nightmare. My queries are taking an age to run, and I KNOW my boss is gonna be mean to me when I tell him that OTHER PEOPLE are being tardy in giving me numbers. Sheesh.

However, just finished some coffee, so should feel better soon.

(what have you done?)

JB, I feel your pain. I'm still in monthend myself. Though at least I'm not waiting for other people, because I'd have to KILL THEM if I were.

Other than that... well, I feel kinda weird. I'm having huge doubts about going to ATP. I know that I'm probably going to have PMT all weekend long and everything will piss me off. I'm exhausted and want nothing more than a weekend where I get to sleeeeeeep and do nothing. Plus, it's the last free time I have to CLEAN UP my house before my mum arrives, and even though she says "don't worry about cleaning, I just want to see YOU!!!" I still don't want her to see my house in this state. Plus, I can't take any more time off work...

But then I get emails from Dare where she's just all "BLEEEEEEEE!!!" and that makes me feel 17 again and her saying "...and Rock Star X will be there, and maybe Rock Star Y..." which makes me laugh and laugh.

And the 17 year old in my is saying "GO! GO! GO! YOU WILL HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!!!" and the grown up in me is saying "You have a mortgage and should be good and stay home."

What do I doooooooo?!?!?

(I've heard)

I feel even worse today than I did yesterday. I'm closing up and going home after dinner, fuck this.

I need to decide how I want my hair cut within the next ten minutes.

TISSP! don't cut your hair. Pavement will laugh at you.

I guess I should ask my boss what's going on with Xmas holidays, because it might be OK if I can take Friday and maybe Monday off. But that depends on how much time we get between Xmas and New Years... argh.

Hope you feel better soon, Pash. Go home and tuck yourself up in bed.

tissp : shave it all off.

God DAMN it, who keeps going in the MySpace and changing the pictures? We specifically got new photos taken with the new lineup, and someone goes and changes it to one that's not just the old lineup, but also has BUMLOVE all over it. Get that shit off my band.

(Coffee mugs we end up getting.)

Meaning: Brave
You like to defend
To support and to save
You are dauntless and daring -
You are truly brave
Your name reflects the fact
That you have no fear
You protect your posessions
And your loved ones so dear
Whatever the struggle
You're sure to succeed
Against any opponent
You shall take the lead

Oh emsk, you've done lots of stuff, the majority of it brilliant. You know this as well, so i can't see the problem. Unless you've murdered a kitten or something, in which case, you're a bad bad woman.

Nice decoration, though.

I can't decide if it's a blessing or a curse that MySpace tells you "so and so is not just ignoring your mail, they just haven't actually read it yet."

I couldn't sleep last night cos of rib pain - I am going for another x-ray tomorrow as I fear there is more damage than I thought.

What is done? Your haircut? Oh noes!!!!

Hurrah for puzzles. I don't even know what a kakuro puzzle is. I never got past crosswords.

Right. First we had a fire evacuation because some burgers caught fire in the pub kitchen. Bah. And then I talked to Dare on the phone! She's brought extra skates for me! I can't believe she is going to make me go ice skating!
