1 I am ill, which is pissing me off immensely. I spent today working at home cos I couldn't face the train journey into work. I did manage to spend 6 or 7 hours working, which is surprising.
2 All this religious hatred stuff is pissing me off immensely. It just makes my job 600% harder. I don't really want to get involved in a deep religious or political debate but I'm sure I have seen loads of pictures of the pope on t-shirts declaring he smoked dope. I don't recall seeing thousands of Catholics taking to the streets and burning effagies of t-shirt salesmen. I am extremely good friends with a large number of muslims and I think the people rioting at the moment are just making the good guys look bad. Okay, we maybe shouldn't have published the pictures (under Islamic law) but I'm sure Europe is governed by EU statute...well it was last time I checked anyway. I could go on all night, but I'm too bunged up to bother.
3 I spent all weekend in the spare room, partly due to #1
4 Is anyone else having a problem with "Psychotic Cat Syndrome"? My 3 felines seem to spend all day and all night leaping around off furniture and up curtains. They have either taken the cat equivalent of speed or they have some weird "it's nearly Spring" thing going on.
5 The media office at work has pissed me off immensely. I had worked my arse off and managed to get a feature on my project in Marie Claire magazine (of which, I am extremely proud) only they're now ripping the carpet out from under me and want to take over....bastards. They've tried to get a feature for 3 years and failed miserably and I do it in one email. I think it was the personal Vicky touch that swung it so why the hell should I pass it over to some brainless bimbo who can't do her job properly...aaaaagh!
Do you know, I think this is the longest update I've done in ages.
6 I didn't get Morrissey tickets. I am distraught. If I could be bothered to start stamping my feet and having a tantrum I would be doing it right now, but I can't so I'm just going to have a private sulkfest.
My, I'm hating a lot of things right now.
In other news, I have recently been back in touch with some people, I love you all (especially my Jen who I miss loads and loads). I hate losing touch with people and sometimes I feel a bit isolated, living as I do in Southampton, and not in Portsmouth where all my friends are (apart from a couple...don't get grouchy all you Southamptonites!!!).
7 I stupidly decided it would be a great idea to dunk my digestive in my hot chocolate...it wasn't. And I just want to grab the idiot by the throat who said that hot chocolate would make you feel better and/or sleepy. He was a barefaced liar. It is now nearly 1.50am and I am no nearer sleep. I might just pootle off and overdose on Venos.
I am going to see The Wonderstuff, by way of a 30th birthday present to my friend Michelle. I don't know why, as I never really liked them much but she's a huge fan and I'm a good friend so I thought I'd make the effort.
Finally, to summarise: I'm ill, Southampton sucks, riots suck, cats are freaky, hot chocolate sucks. Happy Birthday to everyone who's had one recently and get well soon to everyone who's ill. I think that should pretty much covers everything. Oh and congratulations to Z & J who got married...much love xxx
