I just reached level 34 on Plants VS Zombies, yay me.
Now how to cellebrate.....
With all the wonderous things going on in the world, all the joy/laughter/tears and general all round angst I can think of nothing to write.
Yet I feel like writing, mybe just seeing my words appear onscreen as if by magic lets me know I'm still in the land of the living....allbeit with a little of me in the other place.
That's it I think, too many people I know and love and miss terribly are in the other place.
Quote from Field Of Dreams > "If you build it he will come"
Quote from Sinora > I know you love me, you know I love you, so sometimes why does the missing you hurt so much ?
Not much of a quote I know, so I'll go outside for a smoke, who knows I may think of something better.
I will only be working a three day week this week, hoorah.
Apart from that things are just as they should be for an average Monday.

Hope you enjoy your time off ^_^
I got two four day weeks, but a three day week, that's just down right lazy :-P
Amazing how doing nothing can make me feel so sleepy.
I got that darn BT page up yesterday I just could'nt be bothered to deal with it but have found an easy way (by accident) to get rid of it.
Well, nothing much happening, guess I'll take a nap.
COMMENTS
It's because you're so sexy! ;)
Hmmm yes that must be it lol
Hmmmm, aren't you just dying to know what he's listening to? Probably "I wanna touch you all over" by Exile or something along those lines LOL!
All out Coven wars fun or not ?
Na, I might get carried away, the dark side can be very seductive after all.
Then what happens if maybe I bring all that ruthless behaviour and such back with me into the real world ?
Mind you.....
COMMENTS
Coven wars? Oh my,what have I been missing these days of absence?
Hun... I'd be more concerned with what you may bring to the coven war rather than take back with you. lol
We in Houses will smash you in Covens....mwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa....oops lol!
For a Vampire themed website I still can't believe we don't have it. I have already started working on a new concept that I will submit to Cancer by the end of June. We really need to revamp the Society system. It's just to bloody boring;-)
Time off for good behaviour, I'm going at lunchtime today, still not opening any e-mails as I know that boss S, nice boss, has mucked up one of the codes again.....lmao... that's the kind of thing that I do, not her.
I'm busy and staying well out of her way, I think she knows I've had enough.
Sometimes even the simplest of tasks is made so much harder by people passing the buck. How hard can it be to order plastic drinking cups ?
Staff have been moaning for days as we have run out, all it takes is one phone call, but they would rather moan and do without....fine by me.
The challenge of course is to keep a straight face when one of em crumbles and makes that simple call, gotta love the pained expression of overwork they wear......like I don't know em lmao.
Today is a good day.
I have been surrounded by meaningless chatter for most of the day, I'm having a hard job staying awake.
I found out this morning that really big boss has no sense of humour.
After the all round hoo ha with that darn stock take thing I get an e-mail calling me Kevin from him asking me to check for an error on page nine.
Bearing in mind that page chuffing nine is chock a block full of figures I asked him to be a tad more specific as Kevin was a dumb ass.
Then he tells me which line the error is on, I check and sure enough I had added an extra 0.
Returned his e-mail to tell him what I had done, then he asks me to fix it and send the whole thing to him again.
I told him to keep his fingers crossed as I was'nt sure I could remember how to e-mail an attachment........still gave me a laugh to imagine the look on his face.
COMMENTS
Evil, just evil I say :P
Slight glitch in the stock take thingy....Mad-dog gave me duff instructions so the work I did yesterday was not saved in the correct way.
I actually shed a little tear !
So, it's taken pretty much all day to do again.
Mad-dog thinks I'm a little star......yea right lmao
Ha....all it was really was data entry, easy peasy except muh eyes have gone a tad blurry.
So, though I hate to tell you this journal I just stayed on past my time to finish the stock items list.
Thing is there is the non-stock list that S has yet to sort out, and it has to be in like now, and I'm on my own tomorrow and it's gonna be busy.
Man, I'm gonna earn some big time brownie points here lol.
Me and the boss are waiting....waiting for Mad-dog or the lovely Veronica to show up.....no respose to my e-mails, we are wondering if they have just decided we are too dumb to even talk to these days and have done the job themselves......yes, we live in hope here.
No word yet from Mad-dog or Veronica, maybe they don't know how it's done either ?
I've been making myself useful....yes really, very short of staff so I'm making tea and buttering buns for the brave little soldiers who come out of theatre.
And if the odd bun or two should find it's way into my mouth...well.....
Mad-dog is obviously under the impression that I am clever. I know this because she has just sent me an e-mail asking me to complete a stock take thingy on excel by Friday.
Lmao....hated to burst her balloon but it aint happining.
New boss Sandy is also mystified.
Looks like this is a job for Borg Princess Veronica....go girl.
Oh woe is me, health and safety talk this afternoon.....
COMMENTS
Reminds me of high school...*holds up a mushroom* This is a penis and THIS...*holds up a baggie* is a condom...make sure and use it carefully boys and girls...if you don't, you will get one of these...*holds up baby doll*. LOL!
Wow that's just not fair, ya'll sex ed is so much more advanced than we got here in the south... maybe that explains the pregnant 14 year olds, ya reckon? lol
The good Lord decided it was time to turn on the sun this morning, so my walk to the bus stop was very pleasant.
Spring has sprung.
COMMENTS
I still haven't spotted a single daffodil. Not quite spring!
Yes, it is feeling that way in Ireland too! When does the Springtime offically begin. Do the clocks go forward this coming weekend or next?
A frustrating day for the most part, little things going wrong and that damn BT fon thing came back, I got rid of it but if you paid me I could'nt tell you how.
Still, I have'nt checked my lottery ticket yet, I'll keep it till I get home from work tomorrow.
Time for bed I guess.
COMMENTS
That BT fon thing showed up on my network too! what's it all about then!
And so the day was saved.
Phil called and I went into town with him, then spent most of the day reading a book called The Lovely Bones, a fantastic read.
Tomorrow will be a better day. I just read that and it's a good a way as any to look at life.
The person who wrote that had just finished his day which was not particularly good.
I'm just starting my day so maybe it's not appropriate to think that just yet. I should be thinking get up off your arse and make it a better day.
Easier said than done as many will tell you.
So, I'll put on some music, get dressed and go into town...maybe...no I'll do it....well I'll try to.
No, first thing to do is laugh at myself, yes, I'm doing that now, the rest will follow.
Mailwatch Update: They won.
I received this letter this morning.
Dear Sir / Madam ( too much trouble to type in my name. )
Thank you for your enquiry regarding item number ee525871625gb.
I am sorry I am unable to offer compensation on your claim as the goods posted are excluded form compensation on all of our services. Full details of our Conditions of Carriage and a complete list of items excluded from compensation on our services is available from our website and our literature available in all Post Offices.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused on this occasion and I am sorry I cannot offer a more favourable reply.
Okay, so how come the guy at the post office did'nt tell me that ? No, I'm not shirking my responsibility here but lets face it I asked all the right questions at the time.
I just looked at the website and realised that practically NOTHING is covered, and the cover itself is useually only 87% of the goods worth.
So, be warned if you live in the UK and want to send something abroad with this service, it's simply not worth it.
I'm so sad this has happened, both myself and my friend have been let down badly.
Good grief, BT have just put me through an hour of hell !
Came home and tried to get online, got some stupid BT Fon page coming up, would'nt let me do a damn thing.
Wow, talk about being outraged, I can't believe how angry that got me.
When I finally managed to get hold of the help team ( in India ...but the guy was glad he was a long way away from me ) I really let rip.
Anyway, first he wanted me to mess about with wires but I flatly refused and demanded he talk me though it step by step.
Bless him, he has earnt his no doubt meagre wage this day.
When the ebil page was got rid of, I did at least have the decency to say I was sorry and to thank him for his help etc.
I can only imagine how many BT customers are going to get very irate this week-end, a very stupid move that will no doubt see people leaving BT in droves.
It's turned black and it may fall off.
I think I may just have had the most absurd and useless premonition ever.
The night before last I had a very disturbed nights sleep. At one point I woke myself up as I dreamt I had a very sharp pain in my left big toe.
Last night doing the washing up I dropped a plate on that very same toe. The pain was such I could'nt even swear...just kinda made animal noises.
Yea, life aint easy for us gifted folk.
I am experiencing one of those wonderful all's well with the world days, no idea why or how long it will last, these days must be enjoyed for what they are when they happen.
Phil's little trip has'nt quite done the trick re his depression, he told me he still has spontanious bouts of crying with Suki the dog nuzzling him to make him feel better. *Resolves to give pesky dog a treat next time I see her*
He's not eating properly either so I had a gentle nag at him last night ( like I'm a good example *blushes* )
COMMENTS
Hmmmm *tries to remember what those days feel like*.....
Man's best friend strikes again. My thought are with you.
My weekend was over in such a rush, did some housework for Phil, pesky dog is kinda growing on me, but it's just soooo hairy lol.
Ray cooked me lunch on Sunday, made a nice change.
Phil had a nice time and looks better for it.
This morning, so cold even with my heating on full blast I had the oven on with the door open, and I started my day with a miracle, a polite and cheerful lady bus driver, I am in fact still in shock about that....
Have I died and gone to heaven here ?
My boss just gave me a hug and told me I was a star......or maybe I just did something REALLY good in a previous life ?....just for a change lol
COMMENTS
Did you slip something in his drink? lol
Maybe they are coming on to you lol
Ha....it's a female boss.
...''a female boss'' .... and your point is? lol
At last you were spotted! Didn't your boss ask for your autograph? :)
As I type I am listening to a conversation between three ladies.
One born and bred in Washington DC but has lived here in the UK for the last 20 years, she loves our country....that's cool, I will make sure she gets an extra bun after her operation *nods*.
COMMENTS
I love our country but hate the Politicians, they have ruined our green and beautiful land with corruption and lies.......a little like Eastenders really!
Sugar it ain't no different on this side of the pond :) But nice to see folks can still appreciate a place.
From Washington, I get that, but you sure don't see them here from Florida!! lol
How nice!
I have never in my life owned a bedside lamp.
Never needed one, as I always seemed to have a lightswitch withing easy reach.
However, Phil left me a lamp in the room I'm staying in, it belonged to his sister, one of those touch lamp things. It's the only room I've been in without a lightpull by the side of the bed. I love it, it goes from dim to very bright, ehhh technology.
Well I'm off to Phils this afternoon. I'm getting pretty nifty packing my case these days.
Pat tells me she has been guilt ridden all night last night as she said something to me as a joke then worried I might take it seriously.
I kinda did, but hell I did'nt lose any sleep over it, mind you, I'm re-inforcing the guilt thing with her, so far I've had tea on demand and sweeties....cool.
So, I'll be offline till Monday night, excepty the odd min at work.
The burning question of the day is:
Are we ready for extra strength Marmite ?
COMMENTS
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! lol
I can't even handle the run of the mill Marmite... Let us all know how it goes!!
Dam it yeah....give me it!!
Then smell my breath *chokes* Yum!
What no chop liver?!!
Chop liver....that's just sick!! lol
Just have to say I love my boss, she's letting us go early today ....
More than one person has expressed the urge to slap me this morning.
However, that is nothing compared to what I would like to do to them.
Still, Pat has just made me a nice cup of tea, and the sun has come out, nice Monday.
COMMENTS
-sings- Smack dat bitch up....
I missed the slap *slap*
Hm , you sound peaceful . Serene , even .
Should try constant turmoil sometime , let me know how it goes :]
