Your mutual friend hammond has noticed that you last updated your journal on LiveJournal 1 week ago! *laughs and says "Oh alright" to hammond*
Well I guess my biggest news up to date is that I've been nominated for an employee excellence award through Quest Newspaper's Business Achievers Awards. Basically my work has been nominated for the Business Award and part of this meant they were asked to also nominate one employee for the Employee Excellence Award. My bosses and fellow managers (and their lovely partners:)) will be going along to the gala dinner for the awards Friday week to see if we win. I don't think I have a chance in hell of winning but comikari has offered to set the business on fire so I can heroically save it that way I'm assured the win but I've declined. Am very much looking forward to getting all dressed and having booze and meals provided, w00t! My picture was in last weeks South City newspaper too HAHAHA!
Today I am happy because I am actually prepared for Trick or Treaters tonight unlike last year which saw me frantically rummaging around my purse looking for some packets of PK to give the kiddies which I felt obligated to tell them to ask their parent's permission before consuming. There are Chupa-Chups and choccies all in a Harry Potter tin ready at the door and I've put the little star fairy lights on the veranda on ready to make the house somewhat welcoming *grins*.
For those interested, JB Hi-Fi is have the most drool worthy Anime sale EVER! After spending a shat load of money on a camera and mp3 player I was most distraught to go into JB and find such goodness as Love Hina 5 disc set, entire series of Angelic Layer as well as many others for only $69.95! If you are wondering what to get me for Xmas this is the best hint you're going to get.
I have also bought myself a fish. It is a Siamese fighter (or Betta) and I called it Sushi; thanks must go to zparcs for coming up with the name. It's so pretty and is blue, red and kinda purple I love him so much but cleaning the tank is just as traumatising on me as it is one him. I'm just not good at handling things that could die if they breathe air heh.
Am still single and finding the lack of interest in me quite depressing in ways that only remind me of being back in high school again *shudders*. Am lucky to have my darling brisdrake to hug and grope me otherwise I would feel most neglected. I think every single lady needs an adorable gay boi in their lives to help the ego ;).
As mentioned somewhere above I spent some money on a camera. It is a Canon PowerShot A540 digital with 6.0 mega-pixels big LCD display and to me very sexy, I love it so! I also got a 4GB IPod nano in metallic blue (so nice) and I've been told I need to buy "proper" headphones by zparcs by which I think he means Sennheiser or nothing heh.
I have been a bit of a hermit of late and spending way too much time at home though that means more time with the lovely polksaladangie. I have had recent vists from the awesome feybles which was grand and the occasional visit from lukezor but otherwise it's been pretty quite. We did have the local boys in blue come around a while back with the "your neighbours complained of pot" excuse to take a look around our home which was both laughable and irking. I think they'd judged us on the outer appearance of the house and once they came in an saw on-a-tight-budget-but-normal living conditions they were genial enough and left.
We are close to calling them back though but not for us, for the neighbours whose arguments are getting beyond a joke with their door slamming so bad our windows are shaking. It's gotten loud to the point that the guys across the road have taken to getting a couple of glasses of wine and sitting out the front of their house to listen like it's a late night drama show. We used to be able to laugh and just be nosey but it's getting worse all the time and the fights that start at 6am and go until they leave for work at 8am are not good for our sleeping patterns. Has anyone else dealt with this scenario before? What do you think we should do?
