Hmm. About three days without an entry - if I'm not careful I will be one of those people that forgets all sense of time with their blog - when keeping a diary you have to be diligent in doing updates, it is all too easy to just think that it will do things by itself or something. Hmm.
Started my Xmas shopping on Thursday, I had the day off from work and all. Went down to Chermside and undertook retail therapy - well, is therapy only when you buy for yourself? This time of year you feel a bit of a hmm, I was going to write cad but that is so 19th Century LOL - you don't feel good about yourself. And I bought my own Chrissie pressie the week before, with that street art thing. Oh, and I may have bought a game pad for the computer, which doesn't seem to work grr. Well, it will work but I need to download a file off the Windows 2000 CD apparently. Maybe it would be easier to get an XBox or Playstation LOL.
Just watching Rage in the background here and I had a horrid thought - there will be an entire generation who thinks that Jessica Simpson's Boots Were Made For Walking is the definitive version - Nancy Sinatra Who? Shuddering at the thought LOL.
Work this week was OKish in the main - apart from Wednesday, difficult customers for most of the day. Well, maybe not most of the day, but you know how one or two bad customers can ruin half the day easily, well, it was kind of like that, but with three or four difficults ruining three quarters of the day. I basically fled the office that evening LOL, and with the day off the next day was a good thing.
But at least I got complimented on my tie - or was that Tuesday? And yesterday got a few nice comments about my shirt - white with black, blue and err brown abstract markings on it. I've had it for months, but thinking back I guess I haven't worn it for about two months. At least my taste in clothing is commented on.
And have been thinking on the whole 'am I popular at work' whinge I have every couple of days or so - I think I have unwittingly wandered into the popular group without even realising it. The section I am in is having a Christmas evening out in a couple of weeks time, but some people aren't even going to it, so we have to have a Christmas lunch - well, order in something during our weekly meeting time. And it was never in my mind not to go out for an evening.
Now, if it came to a wider Brisbane than my workplace, then I may have grounds to complain - all self inflicted of course, Pauly, you want to go out more, socialise more outside of work - but in the workplace, I think somehow I am in the in crowd. And yes, I am sure this is monotonous to read, the same topic maybe once or twice a week, but eh, I write down my thoughts as they come to me, and this plays on my mind a bit. Sorry to any chased off readers LOL.
More later :)
