Random Thoughts

Last night I wore a bow tie for the first time since my high school formal. It was for our end of (financial) year work function, and the dress was 'After Five'. I could have gotten away with a tie, or a suit, but I wear ties Before Five four days a week anyways. Was a reasonable night out, a lot of the girls got glammed up, but by eleven I was pretty well over it - some were headed to the casino, some were headed to Family, but I just couldn't be bothered kicking on. It would have only tempted me to have more alcomahol, which I'm err not really supposed to have in the first place.

As I write this, London looks to have gotten away with avoiding a double car bombing in the Trafalgar Square Piccadilly Circus area. Huge petrol, gas and nail bombs parked outside a nightclub and just a general street - only avoided because ambulance staff outside the nightclub spotted some vapour, and the parking building staff the second car had been towed to smelt petrol. Welcome to power, Gordon Brown.

My sister has come back to Brisbane, after a four month failed experiment in Melbourne, and she got a kitten while she was down there. Now, managing the kitten and the older cat that was here in the first place is all over the place, in my mind at least - kitten can't go outside, because the neighbour who hates cats tried to catnap her the other week, cat is err whizzing a bit inside, so she can't really stay inside for extended periods of time, can't really leave the back door open. Just a bit frustrating, and to me the rules keep changing every couple of days. Grr.

Here endeth the random thoughts of the day.

More Blogging Evolution?

Well, my first blog, I just wrote 'what I have done for the day' - this, my second blog, I have tried to write well, less often, and less about me personally. No, I am not ditching this blog, though I am having to resuscitate from the last three weeks of virtual flatlining, but am thinking about working towards less a 'brilliant writing but two entries a week' focus to more of a 'first five random thoughts of the day' angle.

Therefore, my brain will hurt less trying to think up both worthy topics and well written pieces about those worthy topics, I will be able to feel like I can get away with utter garbage some days - look out for the recurring theme Paris Hilton is an overfamed wench - and I won't get the guilts leaving this site to die alone, in the gutter, unloved.

Or something.

Weird dream this morning, felt like it was on a planet fifty light years from anywhere, but then it felt like it was in Iraq or somewhere only fifty miles from Babylon. Finding a ancient Roman temple, or maybe Greek or another civilisation that had just appeared out of the desert sands - felt very Serenity like the movie or Raiders of the Lost Ark or something.

Then found myself in central London, needing to get a tube ticket, zone 1 to 4 daily as ten pound ninety, and I didn't have the proper Brit money, only Oz stuff, and the eftpos machine was very confusing.

Here endeth random thought of today one.

I'm Not Dead

Had my end of year work assessment thing this past week - end of financial year we are talking, although we aren't even really up to that, to be honest. Anyways, the boss I had for the first nine months of the year said that she wished she had a whole team of me, as there were never any behavioural issues, I always did my best at the actual jobs I have been given, and just general warm fuzzies.

Also had a bit of a shift around of desks and stuff - I was sitting near the boss, but she wanted to keep an eye on someone else, not a trouble maker per se, just has lots of issues may be a polite way of saying it, who I swapped seats with. Plus to settle an excitable part of the team, and the best part was that the person I get on best with in the office shifted to the same area as me.

Which was nice.
