my day was going really really well up until about five minutes ago, when i could resist the thought of a hot coffee no longer. i strolled into the staff kitchen here at vodafone + rinsed my cup, grabbed my spoon + cried out in horror - there's no fucking sugar again! why, why do they do this to me?! do they not realise the one thing i look forward to of a morning, the one thing i can enjoy at my desk is my damn coffee? i can't even buy a can of coke until my first break. oh, the pain!
otherwise, tuesday is treating me fine. rowan + i woke early today, the plan was to get to the city by about 10am + maybe have breakfast + coffee, also get more bits of metal jabbed through my body (medusa, middle top lip + rook, part of ear cartlidge). we did wake on time, for once... it was more the getting out of bed part that was proving to be most difficult. haha. god, such a lovely boy!!
because we woke earlier than usual i had time this morning for some toast + coffee (am so thankful to rowan for making me coffee before i left this morning - at least i get it somewhere!!), we caught the tram to the city + made faces at each other as suits + high heels surrounded us with their boring shop-talk. remembered whilst leaving the house, holly got another key cut, i finally have my housekeys back!
i got to work, almost basically on time, am approached by a team leader. i start with my late excuses + apologies + she tells me to shut it, tells me if i want to move onto the post-paid vodafone team i can have my four-day a week shift. so next week i'm in training, from 9am-5pm monday to friday. + the week after that i move to my new shift, 10am-6.30pm monday to thursday. i'm so happy, i've only been requesting four days for the past two months, possibly longer. it'll be nice to be doing something different, learning new programs + only speaking with store dealers will be a nice change as well. i wish we didn't have to move downstrairs, but i still have my email + have the option to come back to prepaid in december if i like. or i could go next door + work activations with bonnie. either way, its a sign that i was right in declining the council role by suddenly being rewarded with my chosen shift. not bad!
+ now am on my half an hour break. how tempted i am to run to elizabeth st + ask for my piercings now, however thirty minutes is not enough time for that in reality... rowan is working in hastings tomorrow, he'll be up + long gone by 5am so there will be noone holding me back tomorrow! i want a bit of a makeover really, i'm craving new piercings, new hair, new clothes, the works. was mentioning to rowan that i feel slightly hypocrytical, suddenly being more aware of my own physical appearance + taking such effort to maintain or improve. i don't want to be another materialistic mainstream fuck, i want to stand out in a crowd. + i feel i've changed, grown up a bit. its time to reflect those changes on the outside.
