Why does my life suck so much?

It 5.30 on a Friday night. And what am I doing? Am I heading out to enjoy the head on what might be one of the last days of summer? No. Am I going home to enjoy a nice meal, good wine and stimulating conversation with my ruggedly attractive boyfriend. No (but I should get points for calling him attractive).

Instead I am sitting at my desk, as is my wont on a Friday night, waiting to web conference with a bunch of people, who will say a bunch of crap I don’t care about, who will end the conference with “so can we all endeavour to have these things done by COB today” and I will reply “COB was 2 hours ago for me – remember?!?!”. Uhhhhh.

And this will cap off a totally shitty day. Today I waited at the doctors for an hour as she was running late. Then my Mac operator came back from lunch and was drunk so was really slow after lunch. And the doctor only already told me what I know, and charged me $100 to tell me it!! And then the art director changed all the stuff the Mac operator had done anyway. And now I have like 4 months of timesheets to do, which I don’t want to, but if I put off it will be 4 months and one week on Monday that I have to do. Life Sucks.

But on the upside they are giving away free 6 packs of Boags here at work. Maybe I will take one and drown my sorrows.

Valentines Day

Ok, so I know that I am a day late, but yesterday I was too busy being showered with gifts, and flowers, and bling etc. to blog. Here's a little something for all you lovers from Kip...

Why do you love me? Why do you need me? Always and forever... We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom... Sure the world wide web is great, but you, you make my salivate... I love technology, but not as much as you, you see... But I STILL love technology... Always and forever. Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above... always and forever, always and forever... Why do you need me? Why do you love me? Always and forever...

That's what I'm talkin' about.

Shock the Monkey

So the netball juggernaut that was the Monkeys has finally ground to a halt. Actually, I wouldn’t say that is completely true, as we only lost by 1 point after the buzzer. I would call that going out with a bang (or a Banger as the case may be – congratulations to Banger, playing under the alias of Paul Jones, on his MVP).

It was a good run while it lasted, but unfortunately we couldn’t do the 3peat. But don’t worry kids, there will be other games. And I don’t know about you, but quite frankly my trophy cabinet is getting a little full.

And in the immortal (if not a bit cheesy) words of Greenday

Its something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Annabel

I share an office with a girl called Annabel. She has taken to burping a lot lately (which is a bit strange cos shes not a gross kinda person). So I have started a burp purse. Everytime she burbs she has to put 50c into the purse. A fart costs $1. I then spend this money on mixed lollies down at the shop.

Speaking of mixed lollies - today I was at the counter buying 150gm of raspberries, when this old lady jostled me to get to the front of the line. If there is one thing I hate it is old ladies. If there is another thing I hate it is being jostled. Put the two together and I get livid. And she bought sour gums, the mean old biddy.
