Back To Life, Back To Reality

Another real world entry - after the whole thing of seeing LB (and to a lesser extent, JB) go on Thursday, the next twist in the story is that they are converting 35 temp workers (I think about half of what our centre has) to permanents early in the New Year. Taketh away with one hand, giveth with the other hmm, and I had a quick look at the application form yesterday, OMG have to get myself into talking crap about myself mode - of course I am brilliant LOL - I don't do the transformation from usual self to selling myself modes very quickly, but am sure I will get there, for starters the boss loves me lol... but yeah a day after getting rid of people grrr funny timing. Well understandable from the company's point of view, but funny playing with emotions wise.



Hmmm, maybe I should have invited KW along to drinks on Thursday night, she said she had gone to our usual pub after work after SW had mentioned it, of course we weren't at our usual. Yeah, she's come out of her shell a bit especially since the Xmas parties - add her to the most emailed at work list - well, bleah need a replacement for LB - need to send her a txt or something this morning...



Had our section Xmas lunch yesterday - was reasonable - I got a funky HUGE mug out of Secret Santa, two regular cups of coffee worth LOL but am not much of a hot drinks drinker in sub tropical summers, will come in handy during winter though. The food was good, $10 all you can eat place - mmm, potato and pumpkin fritata (sp?), roast potatoes and pumpkin, apricot chicken, roast pork and turkey and bourbon glazed ham - yum, the company was OK, and AD and I were going drink for drink lol in a mini race.



The funny thing was that either their bourbon was watered or I can handle my drink better than I used to or the heat in the walk back to work baked all the alcohol out of me cos I was fine yesterday afternoon - more than fine I was enjoying my work, which hmm happened quite a bit this week actually. It's like I broke through a self imposed barrier of getting annoyed with work and then this week it seemed a breeze :) Good sign perhaps?



Must get back to thinking self selling thoughts LOL, bleah, next post will probably be a websurf :)
