Work aside, this was a long and involved week. At work, they have continued to affirm my initial assessment; this is a rubbish place to work, and they have no people management skills whatsoever. I found out, via overhearing someone else's conversation, that I will have to work some weekends in July. This was never mentioned in my interview, nor in ( Read more... )

I finally uploaded some icons for my Dreamwidth account. Which was a complicated task. Sometimes, my technical ineptness amazes even me ( Read more... )

I slept til noon today, which is actually a perfectly good use of my bank holiday Monday. And so far, I've tidied away the remnants of my baking, swept the kitchen floor and taken out the rubbish. I'm making my menu plan and shopping list for the week, I have a pile of ironing to do, and I need to water all the plants. I'm actually enjoying this ( Read more... )

I'm so mad at my brother, I'm either going to hit something, or cry.  And it's truly over something small, and ridiculous.

( Whrerein I rant, and whine. And feel bad. )

Although today's was hijacked in honour of Chinese New Year, which kicks off tomorrow. Instead, we had three people over for, in lieu of family, and served up roast Peking duck, char sui, noodles, rice, loh bah and veggies. And we ate til it hurt, followed up by the most ridiculous conversation, wherein I frustrated my brother in his Economics ( Read more... )

For Meg's leaving dinner, we did fajitas and mojitos at my place.  Just the six of us, being us, and laughing too much at everything and everyone.  Moments like this make me think how I could ever leave, or how I could ever end up knowing such amazing people.  And they also make me remember when my friends and I would moan that, post-graduation, we ( Read more... )

I spent the morning putting together the director's PowerPoint presentation.  And then my lunch and the rest of the afternoon, of my 9.5hour day of work, sending out and then filing what was essentially identical emails, modified to reflect the country and case reference, THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE TIMES ( Read more... )

I am so tired. I feel like I haven't stopped since the previous weekend when I went to OktoberFest, and mostly, it is my fault.  But today is cumulation day.  Em and I waved V off as she moved back to England this morning, I've spent the evening packing the over-abundance of possessions I have accumulated as I have to move house again tomorrow, and ( Read more... )

I fee like I achieved little in my 10 hours of work, barring a lot of paper shuffling and trying to work out what had gone on with various trademarks in various countries.  The half bottle of champagne at the end of the day did not help much, hence I am glad I attempted little serious work before I ducked out ( Read more... )

My saga of continuing proof that BA are a pile of shite continues. This time, they managed to send my bag to Gatwick, not Heathrow. So the laundry I brought home to wash ended up being washed by mum, because she is awesome, and the presents for H remain sitting on my dresser, as I had no desire to bring them all the way back to GE with me.
