Functional and funless
I've just realised that I should have updated on the baby!
Gail had a wee boy (well 8lbs isn't that wee I suppose) at 2 minutes to midnight (Stew/Jamie are gonna love that) on Wednesday the 7th of June :) Name be Daniel James which is kinda nice.
He's very cute and best of all seems really quiet!
Update beyond that I don't think I can recall much.
My week off was spent out at the cathouse *A LOT* first of all for the All tore up night (which was actually quite fun). Loads of folk out and I got to hang out with Jenny and Ellie which was nice. (Not many folk actually want to go drinking with their ex boss - so I guess that's I luxury I get).
Some how ended up at the Catty on the Wednesday night of that week. Far too many birthday drinks for Emma (but actually with Gemma) lead to the place seeming like a good idea. Strange crowd in on a Wednesday ... but a pretty large crowd for mid week.
Was nice to see everyone and despite the small drama it was a quite a good night. Would have been better if I hadn't had the great idea of wearing new shoes that made me want to kill myself by the end of the night :(
Saturday was Noir and although I was looking forward to it - I just could not be arsed with the whole event of shoes, hair dress etc etc.
Don't get me wrong I had more hairspray and lipstick on than should be legal - and I did look nice (well that's what people told me anyway). But the summer is just not the time for glamour :)
The acts were great and again despite the small drama of very drunk John (whom I avoided greatly as soon as I saw the body language change) it was a great night. Faye had bought me beautiful patent high heels that I may wish to be buried in but they KILLED me (I couldn't feel 3 of my toes for a week afterwards), So I headed off to Faye's for booze and serious chats in the kitchen.
Rest of the week I spent doing the domestic thing and playing with small children. Oh and shopping too much. The usual nonsense that I do.
(which is really becoming a bit boring to be bothering with in a journal).
Work is a bit crazy at the moment - there appears to be more and more work coming and less and less time to do it in. Which is kinda cool as the thing I hated about this job in the past was the lack of things to do ... now I don't really have that problem :)
It's hard because I thing everyone thinks I know what I'm doing - but most of the jobs are totally new and I'm finding my feet with a lot of them (well apart from databases which I'm taking wild swings in the dark :)).
I'm talking about work again ... I hate when I do that. Suppose I better go do some as if I've got time for this, then I've got time to do some of it. It's only tonight and tomorrow I have to suffer ... Friday and Monday are all about me and drinking too much at street parties, playing with babies and not having to think about what a large amount of work I have.
(Oh and if anyone fancies coming the end of year display show street party at the Art School on Friday then give me a shout! There is fair few folk going and it's always a memorable night).
----------------------------
Promise I'll start making this a slightly more interesting journal ... I've just worked too many late nights this week and it seems to have sapped all the life outta me.
And yes, I am aware that the journal has always been rather dull ... even when I've not been working :)
