I hoped I wouldn't have to say this....:(
Well, at the end of last week I mentioned about the possibility of makeing a trip out to Cali in the next four weeks or so. Well, what can I say other than my efforts to arrange time off or even cover on the on-call rota at work have met a big fat stupid brick wall.humphh.
Sorry for the work rant but it feel like every time I ask for someone to cover me it's always the same, and also it seems that I can't have my annual leave entitlement at the moment as it's short notice and we're short staffed, everything's short eh? even my patience today. I like my job don't get me wrong but the politics of this and that I get aggravated with from time to time.
Anyway, the family gathering will go ahead and my parents are flying out on the 10th Oct minus me feeling sorry for myself :(;) I'll not have to get too down about it now, heck who am I kidding? I'd even planned which girls were coming with me and got so excited about the prospect of meeting some of you who could be around at that time, even arranging to be. Bugger.
One day soon, I will come and that's certain - I'll have to play by the rules this time and stop being petulant (!) by having head tantrums about the whole thing. I just wanted to say though that it would have been (and will be in the future) so amazingly fantastic to meet one day. It will happen but not yet <- I had a silly picture of Russell Crowe's gladiator mate saying that about his child and wife in the afterlife thingy when I wrote that.
Stanley is pissed off too, she wanted to meet Pez. I wanted to meet everyone because you rock, plus you non-locals, hehe.
I need to go and change my hard-done by head now for one that's a lot less moody!
PS. Filed eBay complaint against the boop, her time's up and I heard nothing from her via e-mail or letter so fair's fair.
PSS. Thanks for those who said they'd like to meet me if I came over and would arrange to be around {hugs} (much more important than 1st PS)
