Hmm, the title today is in honour of the new boss appearing a bit more human and approachable than she did previously - as well as talking television shows over the last couple of days, yesterday and this morning she was having house building issues - the white tiles were over the cream grouter and she wasn't happy. Not to be nasty about it or anything, but just something filed in the back of my mind, we are allowed to have a semblance of personal life come into this team perhaps :)
Also was thinking this morning that this alphanumeric identification of the people in my life is rather confusing, so came across the thought that I could maybe use 'airport codes' three alphas - yeah yeah sad I know, but may be less confusing than getting up to B16 or whatever, if for instance I knew the new pope in real life :) And yes, I was always fascinated by JFK or LHR or BNE on the airport boards - what, you mean you hadn't guessed that aspect of my life by now? I am sure if I was a child of the earlier twentieth century, I would have made a good train spotter.
So yeah, I remembered today that I am not at work to merely socialise. Sometimes I do cut corners in my job and SGR pulled me up on it a couple of times today, but talked to her at arvo tea a bit, so all in all a positiveish day. Not much else happened at work today, apart from the obvious lol, still with SGR the only person who I don't have to shout across to. Talked to KBR at lunch which was OK, off to Europe in June so she's doing the countdown :)
Hmm, always with a new series of one of the reality shows it takes a bit of time to sort out your faves - the new series of Amazing Race, with the Survivor winners in it, just is on TV at the moment here, and it's more a thing of who I don't obviously like than who I want to win it. As soon as I heard his voice again, Boston Rob is on my hitlist LOL - but of course it basically takes until about mid series before the personalities start showing through. And it is funny hearing Spanish with a Texan drawl, as if it was a first language, but I guess that is how it is spoken in the border states :)
First quote of the day from the desk calendars that has made an impression on me for like months - 'Never to suffer would have been never to have been blessed' - Edgar Allan Poe. Nice one, Eddie :)
Oh, reminds me of the best moment at the Logies the other night, Eddie Maguire, host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire here down under and owner of one of the Aussie Rules teams, asked Lleyton Hewitt how his form was - Lleyton of course being there as fiance of the current golden girl of Australian TV, Rebecca Cartwright. And I won't even think of going into the whole thing of rebound relationships LOL - but anyways, Lleyton came back straight away saying that his tennis form was a helluva lot better than Collingwood's. You could see Eddie physically recoil from that, and what a shame that was :)
Late shift tomorrow - will give me a chance to get the earlyish results from the UK election - my idea of excitement, getting those poll results in LOL. I remember my first election that I can remember, 1984 back home, Muldoon versus Lange, and filling out the boxes as the results came in. I was scarred at an early age by elections LOL. For reasons of disclosure, I would be a National or ACT supporter back home, Labour here in Oz, Conservative in Canada and the UK, and Democrat in the US. And yes, I do know that that array of parties makes NO sense whatsoever :)
Will probably be more political blogging tomorrow - sorry for those of you who prefer my going out stories :)
