Guess who's back, back again, Osama's back, tell a friend. Four days before the US presidential election Osama comes back with a new vid and it's in to the number one position with a bullet (taking off those old DJs with the top forty charts). Bit of a worry, he didn't look sick or on the run to me in the video. No comment beyond that from me though.
The Red Sox won the World Series - great to see - when even the Arizona Diamondbacks can win and the Red Sox can't - well, I guess that mantle of worst luck team will just be the Chicago Cubs alone - damn, they just missed the playoffs this year.
The move itself, from bayside Brisbane to northside Brisbane, hmm the moving itself was relatively OK for me - Dad took the day off to help the packers, Mum and I went off to work and then just got back to the new location. And yes, even not having the computer for a few days was OK - but unplugging my TV and my radio, hmm that just is against the grain I think. Not having access to ANY news coverage or entertainment for a whole 36 hours, it beggars belief LOL. Especially when the US election is looming so large and umm err less of a glasstight case, the Apprentice 2 was on LOL.
Having a BBQ at a workmate's place tomorrow - in honour of Jo's 30th, me, Lisa and Mel got invited over. BYO drinks, all food provided :) Should be fun, and be good to see the girls outside of any linkage to work LOL - even the after work drinks on Fridays have more than enough work talk attached to them. Will see what happens :)
And had drinks after work yesterday - couldn't have a blinder due to the fact that I had to remember to take the correct train line home - not Cleveland anymore matey :) but was a good one, was organised by the work social committee (they don't call themselves that, but it boils down to the same thing), was different to the usual Friday haunt, which was nice in a way but they didn't have a pool table LOL. And a different crowd as well - Sharon still has to be good to get away with a few drinks next week, her birthday, Jo was not in the mood for sticking around workmates from my understanding, and Mel had a quick drink and then left - had the car, got to be responsible.
So of the usuals, only Lisa stuck around for any length of time, and she was mainly talking to her friend Leeanne - she of the sticking out hip bones LOL, and were those tan lines I vaguely saw? Hmm, was getting dark and I was trying not to be too obvious, as I believe most of the guys were trying NOT to be :) Also making an appearance that I took note of and talked to, were Melanie, Kate and Nathan. Others who I bumped into were Ceri, Sandy, Lindsay, Jo and Michael (Burns both of them), and Adrian and Kylie turned up after their seven o'clock shifts :)
Was mainly talking to Kate, Nathan and Melanie, slowly getting inebriated three for the price of two drinks and deep fried Chinese sort of stuff - was meant to be yum cha but I thought that term was for fresh food as well? Just talking general stuff with those three, but the thing that stands out in my mind most is Melanie's dirty jokes and her use of the C word. Hmm, always impressed by a girl not afraid of that word - although have to hide that under my faux shock in a workplace setting - watch that space LOL. As in the developing friendship angle, am so NOT going to threaten whatever is going on outside of the workplace if you get what I mean.
Only thing was, due to a) my having to behave and not have a blinder and catch the wrong train and b) still feeling on the outer a bit on the longer term staff members, was that when Adrian, Kylie, Nathan, Kate and Melanie decided to wander off down the Valley to do some dancing, I found myself being responsible to my train schedule mainly and not going with them. Still, watch this space, am slowly but surely making progress on the work friend angle of things with the longer termers LOL.
More later :)
