Alanis-y goodness

I think it's pretty ironic that I wasnt going to take this job unless they agreed that I could freelance at the same time, and yet right now the last thing I want to do is more translation work...
I think that's ironic but tbh I'm never quite sure!!

Almost at the end of the project from pseudohell that resulted in the weeks of death right before the prejob sunday insanity - in that it's going back tomorrow - and while I'm really looking forward to it being finished, the fact that I still have another hour or two of final stuff to go is filling me with ick :)

As for the weekend I had possibly the best party ever, even though there were a few important faces missing...!!It was relaxed and nice and good and singy and happy :) Course as I was leaving on sunday I suddenly twigged that my baby bro was actually running away to forn parts but managed to hide my sudden snuffliness - and then got to be druv home (that's a verb) by Mike so it was very yay - bar the intense sleepiness.

I really really want a weekend where I have nothing to do and I can just sleep a lot...cos even though you can't call the vast majority of my recent weekends busy there was interviews or contracts or plans or stuffandthings kinda... hanging there...all the time - that and the hacking cough of lung expulsion (which is greatly improved ;) )

So roll on Tuesday but not too fast cos I would like some sleep at some point :)

And yay random familial gifts of Milka chocolate!

wow

I'm so sleepy and I still have trasnlation stuff to do so I should really do that now...but wow and really wow - as always I have kinda landed on my feet.

I work with a crowd of people who are genuinely nice and helpful and who actually talk to me!!Tonight we're all meeting up in monroes for pizza and pints.

I'm feeling more drained than trained by this week - but I also kinda feel like I'll get there :)

I also have a fabulously nice manager.

And i got to hang with a Sarah last night which was pretty amazing!

ANd i go home this weekend for eating and drinking and having funn..ing...:)

Hence - week 1 gets a definite thumbs up :)

Why I shouldn't be allowed..

..(stay home sick with a scissors and a toilet roll)

Ah

I just figured out I must be full of mission goo...suddenly it all becomes clear..

Germing

I am overdramatic - which is a far more plausible beginning than 'I am falling inexorably into a pit of despair caused my the sheer cloggedupness of my head and my lungs and my fallingouty(metaphorically) eyes'.

Hate being ill when I have loads to do - specially when it just crept up on me with no warning whatsoever! Though then again being ill while on holidays and ostensibly having nothing to do is also very annoying..clearly I'm never happy!

Theres a new guy in my house who's a Polish goldsmith apparently - I say apparently because I havent actually met him...in fact I dont think he's met any of us yet, which considering that he must know there are 5 other people living in the house must seem a bit strange..!

As there is nothing else to report I think I'll just continue coughing my way through the silence..;)

tuesday

(You'd really have to hear Seamie or Mr. B say Tuesday to really appreciate the sheer filthiness of that word...)

But it is a Tuesday and all is kinda well-except I think I caught a cold...or a frog in my throat...which is exactly the moment I choose to look round for that spider who was crawling all over my ceiling last night in an effort to upset me and I discover that he's gone...damn his throatcrawling ways...:(
But I digress:

I have 4 more 'working' days before starting work and I choose to celebrate this by a)not getting up in the morning and b) spending all afternoon and evening finishing off freelancing stuff...I'm not quite sure I'm so good at this youthful exuberance thing :) Though I did manage to get out dancing on Sunday night which was about time tbh!!

Also, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory rules ;) I laughed I cried I wondered why our rows were the only ones in the cinema who understood the beauty of it all *sniff*!
No really - go see it!

And now I work! :)
