(Idina Menzel - Wicked Soundtrack - As Long As You're Mine)
So many subtle changes happen in life that are gone and forgotten. One change that I dislike is computer problems, upgrades, glitches etc. It just takes too long to update and reinstall everything and to get your settings to what they were before. Its a little like being resistant to change.
Its been a pretty rough and tumble week for me. Things happening at work and outside of work.
Most of it, you can get over (or, just smile and move on) but some takes a little longer and leave a bad feeling in your mouth... i'm so grateful for the allies/ friends i've made at work - within my own team and outside of it too. And its so comforting when more than one person says that they will support and stick up for me =D
And those who are thankful for when i help them make it that much more pleasant. Because there are quite a few pricks there who take everything i do for granted.
what pissed me off most was when my TL said
"i'm not getting involved in this"
when i said to one of them to do their own work (that I WAS NOT supposed to do). i mean, just cause u were off sick for two days doesn't mean i'm the one who has to do ur work for you. there arent any concessions - it doesn't work that way and we have processes there for a reason!!! do it urself and come to me when its ready for me to do my part!
i spent a lot of time on the phone to one of my clients this week as well as actioning over 100 of his emails. lol. he can be so funny and frustration at the same time.
my team hosted morning tea on friday as well. it was awesome because:
~ i made brownies
~ we got the right amount of food
~ we got nice food
~ there were little boys (those lil cocktail sausages that people have some weird fascination with there)
~ we made this awesome spinach, sour cream and soup mix dip
~ myself and colleague did the shopping! =D
in between catering and preparing for that, i was trying to locate a missing vehicle thats been lost for 3 months O_O
another thing that worried me a bit through the weekend was my grandma. she was in emergency for 6 hours on tuesday. =( constipation and remnants of her virus from earlier. but shes ok and on some pretty strong drugs for a month or so.
had dinner last night at the local German restaurant. Schnitzel. talked heaps. tarjay. politics. work. plans. future. road trip. paintball. chu almost killed me cause one of the poles on the gate to janices apartment broke off and slammed into me O_O i didnt even know wat hit me until like 3 seconds later... lol.
and today, we had lunch at grandmas place today - havent done that in so long with justin and aunts and uncles. grandma was so happy she ate as well =D =D
and justin and i went to visit the new franchise Paparotti on Railway Pde in Kogarah that a few of justins old HS friends opened about 3 weeks ago. Place looks good. Gave them some free marketing tips (LOL!) as well as some ideas of what i wouldve done if it was my cafe/ shop. tried their buns and coffee and bought another 10 back for the family. hahaha.
Good luck to them - their location is a little bit of a worry but we'll just see how it all goes. PapaRotti is apparently really famous in Malaysia for their coffee flavoured buns. If you're ever around, tell me to take you there one day ;)
So much planning to do. HV. Port Stephens. Birthday (?). WSS (?). Long weekend. Paintball. Port Stephens/ Road Trip. STUDYING.

musashi was bitterly disappointing save for their virgin mojito.
the food was so slow to come out we had to hurry them up. and it wasn't as good as its raved to be.
and definetely not the same as a few years back.
what was funny was that we left without signing the credit card.
hahaha.
green and blue cosmotails (cocktails in a martini glass.. u follow?) that light up!! awesome!!
seats weren't that bad.
and it was quite a funny musical. i don't think it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good that it deserves to be raved on and on about. but it definitely deserves a lot of credit.
ga-linda was so funny. the high pitched, princessy character =D

spent most of my saturday at my grandmas. she's better physically but its taken quite the mental toll on her..
i have this memory instilled in my mind now. its of my 4th uncle and auntie chopping sugarcane and my grandma (in all her sickness/ disorientation) is yelling at them cause they're not doing it right. so she gets hands on and she sits next to them on these little stools at theyre side by side doing it together. =)
played with brian. he squeals heaps. and he loves running into things.
then night falls and the big question is do we go out or so we stay in?
in
out
in
out
we stayed in (BEST DECISION EVER!)
did some baking to keep myself up. girls started coming around midnight.
i dont know why val came when all she did was raid my fridge and sleep in my freshly changed bedsheets.
DNA bought over her homies - a family friend by the name of leeeeesa (lisa) and anita who really wanted a brownie.
girls get up to no good in the middle of the night.
we also did a maccas run. a pretty fail one. cause the rockdale one was closed despite it being a 24 hours drive through.
so we had to go to sansouci.
we only got 2 apple pies when we wanted 3.
there was no sundae.
and no, he couldnt offer us chocolate fudge sauce.
and i didnt get my soccer mug even though i specifically asked for one.
LIES!!!
the game was a shocker. like... annihilation. but totally not unexpected.
jan and val left before the game was even over. hahaha.
donna and anita overstayed their hospitality =P jks.
mild case of food poisoning. im guessing it was the less than ordinary maccas in the middle of the night.
i need to fix my stupid computer which means it probably needs to get brainwashed. not happy.
pictures to follow.

Another cold day. but so fantastic.. at least the end of the day was.
Friday night drinks with colleagues at the est across the road. $5 vodkas!!! checking out guys to the max. and no, no potentials there. so had 3 drinks.
and so by the time i checked my phone messages, i had 13 missed calls and 3 new text messages. uhm.. oops?
met up with janice at town hall and we were late.. but we weren't that late to crinitis where mayo and his gf were already seated. hahaha the boys were even later so no, i claim i was right on time.
we had so much fun at dinner. two pizzas - one 0.5 metres and the another a whopping 1 whole metre. shots all around, beer and two bottles of white chosen by yours truly. and yes, it was awesome. everyone said so.
talked about.. everything. the last road trip. the next road trip. sport. work. bitching. gossip. it was literally like a bunch of mates catching up after years of not seeing each other. was so different, cause i guess we've never been like that before. but i guess now that we've all got full time jobs/ getting serious about certain aspects in life, things get different.
and better.
we went laser skirmish at harbourside. hahahahaha you will never believe. myself and janice came first and second respectively in our team (the 7 of us were playing against 3 other teams). our team as a whole got our asses kicked but so much fun. we were like running into each other and being soooo stupid. =D =D =D
since it was still "early", we headed to cockle bay wharf for some coffee/ drinks. non-alcoholic of course. lindt cafe here we come... sat there for what must have been over an hour or two and just talking again. yeah, it just didn't stop.
we walked past the soccer set up at darling harbour. it was packed! and it was freezing! and it wasn't even a socceroos game!!! good luck to people on Monday. Police were out full force but most people were just high on life.
I think we called and end the the night 12.. 12:30ish. car was parked at the entertainment centre. and.......
gools decided that he needed to pee. so he did. in the car park. behind a pillar....................
lol?
and since chu is an old man, he didn't drink so he drove gools' car and dropped us all off. =)
good times. i had $150 bucks in my wallet yesterday and i have 2 fives left. i don't even know where all my money went.....
and we were discussing this at work today. everyone (at least, those who can be trusted with cash. one of my colleague gets an "allowance" from her hubby weekly LOL!), has a budget of approx. $100 per week. so much for that. i blew one and a half weeks on one night!!!
but i've been very good with my credit card this month. only got about $500 to pay off.
and hi anna banana. had no idea you'd come back to this joint. which makes me wonder, do certain others? ;)

It's funny that when the honeymoon period is over, it all comes at you like a ton of bricks and then to rub salt in your wound , they run over you with a 10 tonne truck. Change is happening but nothing they do will fix the bridges already burned.
Had a desk change today. I now sit in my own little corner because the story goes that two of my colleagues now sitting together need to learn how to work together. That is the biggest load of rubbish i've heard in awhile because we all think it's quite obvious that my tl is getting quite threatened by the fact thar I have a way better mentor that is not hersellf.
I now also understand why there is such a high turnover . It's hardly surprising and I can't blame them. You are made to feel like shit there and nothing you do will ever be good enough. Well too bad so sad.
Also has lunch with Anna today and lol she is worse off than me having $6.50 for lunch and $3.30 left on her account until her next pay check
So funny cause i had to contribute to her lunch fund. Hahahaha
Will be interesting tomorrow. I think I've adopted an atitude where I do what I'm asked and that is it because damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Looking forward to the weekend, Friday night , Saturday and possibly another day as well. Time to drink and bake to forget!

mondays are a bad day.
a chubb security guard was fatally shot this morning. he was just doing his job...
in other news, the pub across the road from us had their front smashed by a ute driver who lost control of his vehicle.
today was a bit of a up and down down day for me. the pressure's increasing. and i dont think the seniors understand the workload we have already. they don't fix, they just add more.
i had a full fat capp today. it was intense.
wildly anticipating my weekend away. for more than one reason.

i just used a nail clipper to cut off what i thought was a chunk of dead skin on my heel. turns out to be a blister cause all this water came out. and now i have opened up the flesh.
how am i to wear heels at work tomorrow?

When you think you finally get a much needed break from this horrendous weather, the heavens decided to open up once again...
So undeterred - that is, having no idea that it would rain again today, Donna and myself trekked it to bondi. It was supposed to be a spend all that you can and go crazy at the sales day. It didn't go off... At all.
In fact, I would say this has to be one of my more disappointing trips in a while especially when I can better this during my lunch hour shops.
Got nothing but food at bondi. Donna got a few things but not that much either.. So depressing that we had to come back into the city to continue shopping. first marketcity where the fail continued. We has more food there in the form of much needed cokes.
Then we did something stupid and decided to brave the rain and male a dash for myer. We got there relatively unwet and I finalllllllly made a purchase . Thats one wish jacket for me
Looked at bras some more and then decided that it was time to go home ..
Random sighting for the day: seeing a white guy and an Asian in the middle of Chinatown throwing would-be punches after an incident of road rage ...

yet another restless night of sleep. i can't understand it. my colleague reckons its stress. but i do. not. take. my. work. home. with. me.
and i am supposed to sleep really really well through rain.
smashing day today. it really was fan-spanking-tastic:
the weather was AMAZING.
my workload was next to non-existant.
*inserts lame sarcasm*
we had another lindt break today. capps made like a mocha and delices. mm mm mmmm..
lunch was a mundane affair. wet and rant-som. we're all dealing with our own issues. everyone's again us. both in and externally. how did it get this way?
change is coming. big changes are coming. we two newbies are going to occupy our girls' corner. NOO!!!! that's our sacred place to hide! =( the upcoming weeks are going to be interesting to say the least.
no friday night drinks today. had to go to the dentist to get stitches out. at least it was a neat and tidy affair. need to book my next appointment... *dreaded shiver*
mum and i went to the very nice, quaint and small Japanese restaurant (its got the best sushi by a long shot for h-ville) for some food. yum yum.
then go to coles to digest food...
...
...
and no, i can't have ONE day off babysitting. not even ONE. bump into my godbro and co there. and he's announcing to the world
*tags alongside me*
*random lady walks past*
and you wonder why i have no bf. =P
coke zero makes it all better~
