Mindless, meaningless, worthless
Again I become aware that I haven't updated in ages, and so I feel the urge to contribute something to the Livejournal world. But what? I could write a detailed analysis of my personality and exactly why it sucks. But nah, too much melo-drama. I could write a pro-life piece, where I remind myself to be thankful for all the good things in my life. But LJ is about angst, not joy. Um...
Work is still work. It's busy, and I have so much to do, yet I seem to go in and achieve very little each and every day. Just over a week left till Christmas, and I'm thinking the bonus targets set for my project are not gonna get done. D'oh!
Speaking of Christmas, I've got almost everything sorted. Presents have arrived for everyone except my Mum and Lisa's sister and sister's roommate. Seems polite to get them something since I'm going to be visiting for the new year. I got an acknowledgement e-mail from the website I ordered Mum's vouchers from, saying that they'd been dispatched. So a couple more days for those. The girls' presents are getting to be a worry, though. It's now been 9 working days, and the website promised 7-10... so if they're not here tomorrow I'm not sure what to do. Except call and complain. I might need to start thinking of another idea - something I can go to the shops and buy.
I'm off this weekend to visit my Grandad, and since they live locally that means I'll see all the cousins and aunts and uncles too. Should be nice, since I've not seen most of them for a long time. Going tomorrow evening, and then back on Sunday afternoon. I'm technically along for the ride with Mum, who is doing the Great Present Exchange 2007, but since Mum doesn't like driving in the dark, I'll be the one behind the wheel. After a day's work. Rubbish! :/
I'll probably update again around/before Christmas. Got some quality holiday time sorted, so I will have the time. I might even do something exciting! ;)
