Drinks and dinner with Johannesburg on Friday. Who was wearing make up and a dress and was hella pretty - not quite the stereotypical Joburg look, and she was even smiling as well hahaha.
Saturday, lunch with Roma and assorted others, Jacksonville couldn't make it though, and, even though I had another couple of last minute cancellations, it was Jacksonville who upset me the most, being, you know, what of my besties, and I think it was the whole delayed reaction to the work news, I was being almost a drama llama about it. But she is pregnant, and took as many painkillers as she can being pregnant, and still it didn't help. It was less about Jacksonville per se, more the sense of things almost getting away from me and overwhelming.
However, lunch was indeed fabulous, although to have a booking for a time, and still have to wait twenty minutes for a table, not overly impressed at that, and the staff just seemed a bit scatterbrained to me. But, spending time with some of my besties, was great. Between Roma and Seville and various others, cute girl overload hahaha. And filling me up with cocktails. The food was fabulous, although I think Barcelona's risotto wasn't the greatest. Nine out of ten meals seemed fine, and then omg the trifle for dessert at the end. Nom nom nom. But the whole staff being meh thing, lopped off a star for mine, only four out of five this time.
Then went and had a couple of after lunch pints with hmm, what shall we call this one, Lexington methinks. Who can drink like a fish, and can drink me under the table. Luckily, I don't try to keep up with her anymore. Was a nice time, though I was well inebriated by the time I got home. Crashed into bed and that was that.
Yesterday, went out with Aberdeen. Well, when I say went out, I went over to Morley to catch up with her for lunch, and she went and got a flat tyre, that took an extensive time to fix. By this stage, I was fretting about the job thing again, I was kinda sorta hungover tired, and I hadn't eaten a thing for hours. I was just very very flat. And then, when I did decide to have lunch myself, I could not make a decision from menus to save myself. I absolutely hate it when I get so tired and fretful and strung out that I get indecisive. It's so not me.
Anyways, Aberdeen eventually turned up, and, as way of apology, paid for everything from that point onwards. She didn't have to, but she was feeling guilty. We went and saw the Lego movie, which was surprisingly awesome. As much satire on Western pop culture in the first ten minutes as I have seen in a year of watching you know, actual television. And some quite adult references in there as well.
And Batman doing the dark and brooding techno lol. Was a lot of fun, was a good choice by Aberdeen.
And today, went back to work after the whole bombshell thing. Was funny, now that I know I'm not staying there, it's as if a weight of expectation and stress came off my shoulders. A few people will miss me, but I've decided I'm just going to go the honest route if and when asked about why I departed. It just wasn't quite the right fit.
Onwards and upwards.
