it was a sad and happy day.
we were all pretty much getting pumped, getting pumped, pumped all day for tonight.
i dropped a bombshell this morning to kaz and loz. :-( they were in shock. (so i was for that matter)
prettttty alrite day workwise... basically cause i'm just so on top of things and we had morning tea.
THE A-TEAM (i.e., MY TEAM) MAKES THE BEST MORNING TEA EVER.
For $80 we had a FEAST. soooo much food and the troopers did pretty well in demonlishing a lot of it. dips, chips, nuts, lollies, little boys, crackers, cheese, banana muffins, tim tams, chocolates, fruit platter and vege platter.
wowsers.
i think we set a really high benchmark for next month's management morning tea. WOOHOOOOO~ it's on!
then after lunch, loz is trying to like highlight her fields on her excel spreadsheet. and LOLOLOL she couldn't do it.
so me and kristy try and help.
and we both did the same thing - i.e., FLIP HER SCREEN UPSIDE DOWN. omg we laughed so hard we cried. cause loz is like WTF DID U GIRLS DOOOOOO *tries to use her mouse to fix it to no avail*
BIATCHES.... FIX IT!!! *chucks funniest temper tantrum ever*
LOLOLOL and he and kristy and like laughing our asses off and the whole floor is looking at us.
yeah. that was good just what we neded to get high for the night.
and i got phone calls right on 5. the first one was bob... he said hurry up and go out already. so i told him to tell greg to have a lovely holiday. =)
the second one went to voicemail. i'm willing to bet it was greg.
the third one that kristy answered was driver in WA. patience is a virtue woman! i'm getting it organised as quickly as a i can. calling me up 5 times a day won't help!!!
and then
and then
and then
THE NIGHT TRULY BEGAN.
ESTABLISHMENT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 drinks. and one maccas beef patty later
we were at THE RETRO HOTEL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
partayyyyyyyyyyyy
it was so low key until like 7:30 it was ridiculous. drinking ourselves stupid with no one singing. but it slowly got there. i can't remember how many drinks we had. or what we were drinking. it was something like
cranberry punch with vodka and something - and we added champagne to it to make it more alcoholic
white wine
vodka and diet coke
champagne
tequila shots
wet pussys
beer
and lots of food that's bad for you.
bit of stuff i remember (about other ppl of course):
flashing boobs
knocking over drinks all night
burning a ciggy hole in loz tshirt
dancing ourselves stupid
we went back to the establishment around 10.
stopped at 7/11 on the way. LOL that was funny. kaz lost her phone and we had to call adam to bring it back. and then we met up with more ppl and drank more
vodka red bulls.
by the end of the night we were all stoned sober. (... probably just stoned). sooooo tired.
cabbed it home. took like 15 minutes to get a cab biatches!!!
me and loz shared a cabcharge. it was cheaper to go via the inner west than to go straight off the princes hwy/M5... unbelievable!
crashed when i got home.
and now i think to think about my christmas shopping list!

and we all traded greg doll pictures.
greg's going on holidays for 5 weeks from tomorrow =( =( =(
lots of problems with service today. tsk tsk.

and as a result my days are now numbered.
bob called around 12 to "check on me".
awwwwwww they (him and his sidekick greg) are so charming when they want to be.
started off relatively quiet but had to run reports. a lot of them. and slow computers don't help!
day went by relatively well. surprisingly, my phone was quite quiet.
:-)
its been fluctuating this week.
greg offered me a job. HAHAHA. i said when bob retires. =D
anyhow, was pretty PROactive today. like srly so on top of things... trimmed my emails down to like 10. WOOHOOOOO go ME!!!
spent about 40 mins on the phone to bob for ONE quote.
then onto service control about service history. hellooooooo. i'm a girl. you need to explain these things to me... but brad's so lovely, he called after he sent the email and said
so he talked me through it. =)
by the time i left i was reallllllly tired. but went to the myer event.

and a nice little black CUE dress for the christmas partyy.
happy times. and time to think about christmas!!! kris kringle, decorating competition, party, events, morning teas... more more more!

e-s-t-a-b-l-i-s-h-m-e-n-t-!-!-!-!
and i said to myself.
"diet coke only"
it worked. until loz and kaz got involved.
but i had to change my much-loved vodka cranberries to vodka diet cokes.
never had it before. but i can roll with it.
apparently, it's the best choice i could have made if i were to start drinking on dukan. sooooo i'm ok with it. only had 2 anyhow so very very tame night.
altho loz did randomly shoved me into this guy and chatted to him for about half an hour. no idea who the f he was. HAHAHAHAHAHA. it was a ploy to try and make me stay longer. but mmmph... there was really no potential for a wild, big night.
so this random guy - latino - tries to read my palm. HAHAHAHAAHAHAA champ.
moses and i were cracking up.
left around 8. way early but it wasn't much fun. got there just after 5 and all the tables were taken so we had to stand around our usual spot. not as intimate.
but karaoke night with the parra ppl next week.
and then its the CHRISTMAS PARTY.
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

(in all honesty, i LOVE days that go by with heaps of productivity and work done!)
more meetings. compliance. it was rather interesting albeit it went overtime. i think i have meetings every single day this week. wow.
plowed through my emails and work. like seriously. i am da shizzle when it comes to actioning emails.
i like it when most of ur team is away on client visits. less distractions. =D
when it was 11, i thought it was 9.
when it was 1, i thought it was 11
when it was 3, i thought it was lunch
and when it was 4:45, i thought it was 3.
i left at 5:30 but i did not think it was a whole day of work at all.
bizarre!

3. decreases customer service
4. means more work for later
5. tedious
6. full o shit
got grilled, totally slammed for something that wasn't even relevant to me when it happened!!! i wasn't the account manager at the time damn it! they love me now! so i got on the phone afterwards and asked bob outright. =D
and got to speak to almost the whole team there. hahaha.
got to the office late today. stupid trains. it was NOT my public transport day.
so i left relatively late too.
felt like i did so much in the first 3 hours of my day today. whoosh. kept looking at the time but it was always before 11!!!

we also had to have a big team meeting about this in the boardroom today.
i also had a mindblank where bob's number came up on my phone and i was like.. wtf is this??? good thing i got over it before i answered. can't believe i didnt recognise it instantly.
had to use my brain a fair bit today.
and it was pouring buckets at lunch so we all stayed indoors (the regulars i.e. - those who go out will always go out. and take their time. and never go to lunch on time).
left smack bang on time today. meant i had to share my train. but it was a super fast train.

i think it's important to treat all of your clients - active or not - with the same amount of respect. and i think the with the portfolio that i'm managing at the moment, they've been neglected and put on the backburner a little. its hard to fix and build relationships when you've got everyone against them. but i try to be fair. and i know they can see it.
at the end of the day, we're not doing ourselves any favours by treating them poorly and without the respect that they deserve. how will they ever come back at this rate?
to everyone at the company now, it's all about the money in the present, but what about the future value? it's not like they're not bringing in money for us. i have written millions in extensions. does that count for nothing?
yes, i don't disagree they can be difficult. but it doesn't mean you can tell them to shove it. and for too long, i think a lot of ppl have done so. hardly making a good reputation for ourselves which is really a shame.
anyhoo, what a beautiful day it was outside - not that i got to enjoy it much. walking across the road to get a coke zero doesn't really count.
i was walking home today - and the silly boy across the road kept yelling (at some guy across the street but he kept looking at me) - so i stopped. and i glared at him. how disrespectful! as if yell at someone across the street. walk up and talk to them u brat! stop disturbing the peace and others!!! i wanted to sic scout and nessie on him!!!
wednesday went by so slow.
yet thursday came and went.
and before i know it, its friday again. a not so eventful (it was going to be.. but its been postponed!) friday.
good times.

started off the day pretty slow... felt a bit down. and i think a couple of ppl picked up on that on the phone.
but bob, he's so lovely. even got his boss to speak to me =D and he usually growls. but heheh said some really nice things which made me smile =) and then he told bob to stop sending me so much to do. HAHAHAHA!!!
then it got better. good ol' SV tried to get me in trouble... for something i didnt do!!! YAY!!! back in ur face!
wYn - 5
SV - 0
hahahahahahhaa. had a good lil chat. i thought his new girl was starting today. a no show O_O
then spoke extensively some more with a couple of clients. its so nice to not talk about work sometimes. felt pretty good by the end of the day... despite all of our dramas!

had the most fulfilling weekend in a long long long time.
thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. didn't even blow a big budget which was even better!!! just walked around, stopped when we felt like it, shopped when we felt like it, trammed it when we felt like it.
both my planes were late. both of jan's we early / on time. so she waited at both airports. (and i was on both flights the first to get off... still waited at least 20 mins at both terminals. QF fliers are suckers. ill passenger with checked in baggage my ass).
friday we got there. saw our awesome room. then went back out looking for drinks, coffee and a good time. found a lovely cafe in melb central. sat there until midnightish. :-)
saturday we went to QVM. then brunswick. bourke st mall. myer. bought two beautiful pairs of shoes and a couple of random items.
them we went to the river precinct for dinner and a walk. steak = protein. and guinness pie for janny. yummo. then more shopping. =D
and then it was time for MARY POPPINS.
janice the smartass was like.. dont worry, we won't need ur google maps/gps.
AND SHE TOOK US TO THE WRONG THEATRE
AND SHE TOOK US TO THE WRONG THEATRE
AND SHE TOOK US TO THE WRONG THEATRE
AND SHE TOOK US TO THE WRONG THEATRE
AND SHE TOOK US TO THE WRONG THEATRE
and i TOLD her, its a 20 minute walk... no way we could have gotten there in 10!!!
lucky for us, my trusty gps phone took us to the right place just in the knick of time.
and what a performance it was. we got FANTASTIC SEATS for last minute purchases.
LOVED IT
LOVED IT

jan liked it so much she bought $90 in souvenirs... no news that i thought it was a complete waste of money.
we crashed after that. full on day. walked heaps.. my feet had blisters from all the walking. (since she was so smart she was like.. we'll hop off after we'd barely gotten on and walked the rest of the way to brunswick...)
sunday. i had to entertain myself when janny went to her expo. =( so i went to dfo spencer st. didn't spend a cent. so i went back to bourke st and melb central. got a dress. :-)
met jan at the exhibition centre and time to go home...
just as the storm was setting in (fantastic timing!)
my plane was an hour late. shocking. disgusted and disappointed. not to mention the lack of service.
went to work today so tired. i even bought a large coffee thinking it'll wake me up. got to the office and felt like pouring the whole thing down the drain. slowly sipped it through the morning but it was a sloooooooow morning. and i had a farkload to do for some reason. i had cleaned my inbox out end of last week too dammit!!! hahaha
but it was mostly good. like clients were surprisingly understanding. there was this one incident where i was dreading - like DREADING - and didn't want to call my client. was like shitting myself cause service were like yeah its really bad. but had to do it.
... he sounded pretty upset on the phone. but his email response was surprisingly nice. *phew* dodged a bullet even though i was only the messenger!!!
then i was talking to one of the guys in VIC disposals. let it slip that i was in melb on the weekend.... and THEN i was in trouble... hahahaha. got crap for it all friggin day. lol. he even called me in the arvo to tell me off. couldn't stop laughing. =D =D =D =D =D
got home just as it started to waterfall again.
poor nessie and scout just ran inside tonight. didn't have the heart to tell them to go back outside. the whole balcony and their kennels were completely flooded. poor babies.

it's not only the race that stops a nation.
its the race that crashes my work's internet.
we were FINE, absolutely doing fantastic an hour before, even up to 5 minutes before the race. the online streaming was working beautifully on the projector. everyone was in the boardroom having a drink and eating antipasto - the good stuff like cheese, twiggy sticks, roast beef, olives and sun dried tomato, crachers and dip when...
*sound stutters*
*silence*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
online streaming failed...
we were already on "low bandwidth" and we could not go "any lower".
*everyone makes a dash for the IT TV around the corner*
same thing happens.... we thought they were IT ppl and smart and could fix it but they were doing the same thing we were!!! (which probably made it worse cause so many ppl were trying to stream the same thing all at once...).
by the time it got fixed it was finito. finished. gone. fin. over.
ANTI-CLIMAX MUCH
ANTI-CLIMAX MUCH

so everyone was then on their phones trying to find out what had happened, who had one, etc etc.
a couple of the guys in legal for the trifecta. (WOW!!!)
my colleague picked the winner (arguably, against the odds)
but yeah, good afternoon despite the massive hiccup. a lot of buzzing going on the office afterwards. good to socialise, have a drink and catch up with ppl from other floors.
then i went to the little snail for some french protein for dinners with JC.
escagot.
king prawns.
lamb rack.
duck breast.
creme caramel
