Was finishing off my Christmas shopping in Chermside tonight - well, only had a Secret Santa at work to go - and got a white chocolate Christmas cake for a morning tea at work tomorrow, and also a Santa on a spring decoration as well. Even found myself humming Christmas carols. Was in quite the festive mood, smiling at all the people spending money even - yeah, a secular take on a religious holiday, spend spend spend and be happy. Until I ate the chicken burger a bit too fast, and the chili was fighting the pepsi in my stomach LOL - wasn't quite so festive then.
Has been a quiet week all in all. Have the section staff dinner out tomorrow, and no doubt The Usual Suspects will kick on to more drinks and such. And yes, I have finally realised I am in the popular crowd, Queensland 90210, as in I go out at work and stay out longer than most - just one of the quieter ones of the in crowd. At least I wasn't last man standing at the company party the other week.
UPE came in for a visit to the office yesterday - she was dropping off Chrissie pressies to a couple of friends, and had an afternoon break fruit juice with her - available time wouldn't allow me a coffee. She is off back home to Enzed for Christmas, and may be staying over there - she managed to finish off university, and I FINALLY got contact details for her, after she went missing the night of her leaving dinner before I could get an email or anything. And finally got a farewell hug as well - although I was halfway out of the cafe before I realised she had gotten up LOL - those sort of huggy thoughts don't come to me often at work, so yeah, it was a surprise. A nice surprise though, and will see what we shall see as to whether or when will see UPE again :)
I had the walkman on - well, portable CD player, but walkman is a much better phrase - had it on for the first time in months while going to and from work yesterday, and was listening to Radiohead's There There as I walked home. I love that song, was getting goose pimple like tingles as listening to it, even in freaking 36 degree heat - it has been a scorcher of a week here in Bris Vegas, and I will blame that for the lack of posting around here...
That, and the fact that most of my online 'blogging' time has been spent over here. I swear, I spend more time in TSSH than my own blog sometimes :)
Oh, and I know I was meant to do a piece on those Sydney riots and such, but maybe over the weekend - rioting bad, more police powers also bad. People involved in the riots, apart from the cops, are dickheads. That is the wrap for the subject, in this post at least...
Hmm, the Iraqi elections are today aren't they. Please let freedom finally be on the march this time around... even though I hate that particular phrase...
