I was dreading returning to work and it seems my dread was justified. By all account last week was a total mess, with one colleague deciding at the last minute to extend her holiday by a week with only an email sent to the manager, who was also on leave. So last week the office was on half staff, and down to only two one day when another girl was ( Read more... )

Got a job. Actually got two offers on the same day and it was a really hard choice. Job #1 paid a bit more and I would have been working with nerdy scientists, which would be awesome. But Job #2 is two minutes' walk from my house. I decided the convenience was worth more than the extra $3000 per year the other job was offering so on Monday I ( Read more... )

So the Sydney scum managed a crappy draw with us and they make the finals instead of us. Disappointing but not the end of the world. A little more consistency throughout the season would have been nice, but still, we came up with the occasional awesomely spectacular game. Problem was that we also came up with the occasional total shocker. ( Read more... )

You know, I think LJ should have power crises more often. My paid account is now due for renewal on the 30th of this month thanks to their latest apology to paid users. If it hadn't been for all the outages over the last year my account would have expired back in October ( Read more... )

I need new LJ friends. Not replacements, don't misunderstand me there, just more, so I have more to read. Anyone know any people who might like me? By 'like me' of course I mean 'be prepared to put up with loads of dribble about netball for the occasional bit of almost interesting stuff'. I dunno, I get the impression that now that I'm not ( Read more... )

The more I think about it, the more I realise I really need a holiday. A proper holiday, not just a few days at Bribie Island or a weekend at a posh hotel. A holiday that actually involves travelling. Even when I'm generally happy with things I feel a nagging urge to just get in the car and take off. It's even worse when I'm not entirely happy ( Read more... )

Have caved in to general LJ pressure and started tagging all my old entries. I really did used to crap on about complete shit, didn't I? Well, I still do, I know. But reading all my old stuff - I really don't like who I was four years ago, and yet in a way I'd like to return to being that person. Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth had plenty of ( Read more... )

No State League tonight. Good, because I really can't be fucked. Going out to dinner instead, which is much nicer ( Read more... )

Oh my god, I have things to post about. Rejoice ( Read more... )

Sometimes I get the feeling that I should abandon my journal and leave the writing of the internet to interesting people with talent. Then I realise that if I actually did that the spelling and grammar quality of the internet would drop a little. So even though I have nothing to write about, that's more or less why I persist. However, I'm ( Read more... )
