I had a flashback to the disaster date & simply had to write about it as I hadn't included this little event in my previous post. There was one of those competitions where you put your business card in the draw and you can win whatever - he pulled out his card and popped it in the draw, and I said, "Oh maybe I'll enter too!". So I took out my purse and got out a card - the shock & disbelief on his face was laughable. I was really confused until he said, "You have BUSINESS CARDS too?". Then I wasn't confused anymore - I was just annoyed and offended. Why was he so shocked that I should have business cards? I honestly think he thought he was taking out some retarded girl who happened to have a nice smile, and was shocked to find me reasonably intelligent and not all that smiley when it came to his condescending comments.

Wednesday 11 November 2009
Today I'm feeling the impatience of waiting to do something you know is coming and you are unbelievably excited about. It's only 3 more sleeps till I'll be in my new place, but I don't know if I can wait that long. I arranged the bond cheque today and my car is full of boxes I've scavanged from around the office. Last night I almost snapped my finger off during my packing efforts, but the sheer joy of knowing I am so close to being on my own again was enough to get me through.
When I got down to the car park last night Punky wouldn't start. I literally got a cold shiver because I assumed it was going to cost me hundreds of dollars to fix her, thereby ruining my plans for a massive LCD TV as my Christmas present to...me. And Jeff of course. Turns out her battery was just cactus and $197 later she is purring like a kitten again!
I am jealous of my beautiful colleague and friend Mel today. She has a temp called Ziggy. I have no temps with interesting names at all. And she is impressed with his maturity! (Ziggy is in his 40's. Only Mel could be impressed with the maturity of a 40-something year old man.) Mel's life is more debauched than mine I must say - she went on a client visit to meet a "new" client and when he opened the door, it turned out that she'd met him at speed-dating a week before. His first words were "You ticked no to me." - awesome! And now they are the best of friends.
Mel laughed hysterically when I expressed to her that I am considering getting "Jeff" in morse code tattooed on my foot. She told me I should just get them to tap it out on my foot without any ink and then show people my "tattoo". Perhaps you had to be there, but I was literally crying with laughter. Melissa, you are a clown and I love you.
During my run at lunch a deep saddness came over me. I realised I will always be musically retarded whilst I was listening to the immense talent of Pearl Jam. I wish I could bang out some awesome tunes. I'm going to keep at it on Guitar Hero but I'm not holding my breath. I forgot to bring my sunnies today and it is really bright outside. It's not too bad now, but I think while I was out pounding the pavement and for a short time after I got back I could actually see through time out of my left eye.
The Administration Olympics is really taking off - we have our marketing department on board to promote it and they are willing to provide prizes (I'm hoping they read this and arrange some prizes as there has been no talk of prizes until now).
