Has been a quiet day. Work was quiet, no random thoughts dropping out of my head that I can now remember happening, well nothing of any consequence anyhows, and LDU and SGR were pretty quiet from what I can remember - my brain is usually like a sieve pretty soon after leaving work, so it takes a lot for something to stick in there after the train trip home :)
Oh, I reminded LNE that I was trying out for her team sometime maybe in the future LOL, and she sent back an email quickly saying that maybe Thursday if she gets OK from my new boss, will be fine. She then came down for a floor tour it seemed, and smiled at me and talked about how the spare desk in her area has the best view and everything - I like her, breath of fresh air personality for a team leader and such, and no, we are NOT thinking extra curricularly here LOL.
Caught up with SWA on the train home - had bumped into her as well as MCU and JCO at break time, and they were virtually skipping out the door (smokers) to catch up. Apparently they had had a rough meeting with their team, some of the newbies in their team seem very cliquey and talking over each other, no respect for others in the team meeting. Sounds like it was very kindergartenish, but would have liked to have been a fly on the wall to make my own judgements - not that I disbelieve them, but SURELY it couldn't have been that bad...
Oh, and those three that I caught up with at arvo tea, as well as RTO, another girl whom is still a contract worker, are sick of the place, and want to move on, preferably to somewhere that pays you for public holidays. So four of my long time work buddies may be headed off soon, hmmph. Ah well, is it only me and my corner which seems to be any fun on the floor at the moment? Ah well, part deux LOL, will be opportunity to have leaving drinks perhaps, if any of them wind up heading off... note the use of the word IF lol...
LDU is an intriguing woman. She can seem so self sufficient and assertive and such, and then she turns around to me and asks 'do you think I eat too much Pauly?' - and yes, she does add the Y on the end of my name. Sometimes not sure how seriously to take her questions and comments. And yes, that dangerous word again, intriguing - and like I said, I must be in the only half decent corner of the floor, social interaction wise - the boss, KBI, is diagonally opposite, pretty close, but seems fine enough. Will talk to her about how I am settling in maybe on Thursday, will see if she likes me at that stage :)
Was thinking about the Big Brother household earlier today, as you do when you are in Australia, and was thinking how I would have auditioned - IF I had been in the country at the time, those of you with longer memories, or wanting to flick the search button on the blog back to January, I was in New Zealand at the time, dammit. I would LOVE to see how I could stand three and a half months away from the world, and would pitch it to the contestant pickers that I would be doing a social experiment on myself - I get jittery enough during the work day when there are important news stories breaking, such as the British elections. No books or writing material either, apart from a possible blog for the public, it would be interesting indeed.
LDU pointed out that no Kiwi has been on Big Brother yet, and I said well I am a resident, I don't think the rules precluded non Australians being in there. Hmm, reminds me of a discussion I had with my Canberra friend, LHO, about the merits of Kiwiness or Australian citizenship - agree to disagree is always my first avoid the issue response with those type of things. LOL, go for Aussie citizenship to get onto Big Brother - kidding kidding all you patriotic Australians, please don't track me down and deport me :)
Big Brother is a goldmine of material for a blog, but will try to keep it to a minimum, maybe a weekly how I feel about the contestants, and who I think will be getting kicked out in the nominations. Like I said, will try to keep to a minimum - there's enough crap in this blog without ANOTHER reality TV show intruding :)
Who's up for a drink at the local pub this Friday? I think I can corral at least a few workmates together, if you wanna nominate a Brisbane pub to catch up in :)
