Hello All !
Well its been a very meh state of affairs lately. Not a whole lot happening. Bruce had his 55th birthday yesterday and there was presents and nummy chocolate cake (with only 2 sparkles because hes not 'two' old. Ah ha, ah ha). Went to second hand book store on Sunday and managed to buy myself only one book (which is good) but still it was a book (which feeds my book addiction).
Umm bloodlust was okay. It was good to see all the lovely goth friends n chat (which I would love to do more often) and to actually get out. I didnt drink and I had an alright time (Im doing the whole sobriety thing because:
A) I'm poor and
B) I'm trying to work out if/how much my fun levels are affected by my drinking and to make sure I can still have fun without alcohol at a club ).
So we brought some friends along to see if they liked the club but the boys brought their ex girlfriends along, which wasnt what I had in mind, and one boy pashed another's respective ex and various other shanigans happened that we werent really sure of what was going on etc. It was confusing.
Had a good chat to Abbey about customers that by 5 things together and ask for a discount. Now I am appreciative that they are buying thing in my store and that they are spending more than my average sale. But there are no benefits in it for me in this proposition. I have read books on negotiation and most of them aim for the fabled win-win situations.
But apart from say, the warm happy feeling that we get when we help others, there are no real bonuses in this for me. So I not really sure what they're trying to achieve. Doesnt hurt to try I suppose.
Sooo this weekend were going down to Canberra to meet up with Rachael and to catch up with her.
