spin spin spin

Man people at my work are funny. I am really going to miss them.

Sanjay totally cracked my shit up today and it was completely unintentional. We have an Italian guy in the office who is always eating. I don’t know how he is not a heffalump. Anyway, I bought some milk today because peeps were complaining and, because they just seemed like children, I bought them some cookies and put them in the kitchen. Everyone was taking A cookie with their tea. Then the Italian guy headed to the kitchen and Sanjay was all, UH OH THERE GOES THE COOKIES!!! I don’t know why this was so funny but I lost it. I laughed A LOT. I snorted. It was very unladylike.

This evening, because our washing machine finally gave up the ghost (though to be fair it had probably done about a gazillion loads), I headed to the launderette.
OH MY GOD. It is so very very Eastenders. Well, maybe mine is. First off all I had to go ask for some change from the shop. The woman was very pissy. Then I asked a guy in the launderette for a money swap and he lectured me on how he has come organised and blab bla and I was all apologetic and I have never felt more middle class than asking a woman in a ‘Juicy’ (this is what her arse said) tracksuit for help opening the machine door. Then I helped a pregnant woman fold her sheets whilst the first guy was asking me whether I wanted to iron for him and be his woman (tempting offer but I’m good thanks) thennnnn some guy came up to me and said: ‘so.... can I have a pair of your pants then?’ Me: ‘Er, no.’ Dude.

months squashed

Man it really was not long before I gave up writing this. Anyway, I will try to recount some of the stuff I got up to.

I had a FANTASTIC Christmas. Probably one of the best. I spent the holiday season partying it up like a mofo. One of the best nights was the 23rd December. Some friends had a Christmas party at theirs and lots of people turned up and lots of drink was drunk. Friends + Drink is one of my favourite combinations. Fact. Then there was only a group of 5 of us left so we went to my pal Charlie’s house. Charlie was living at his parents house with his pal Sam because they were going travelling in a couple of days and had to give up their flat. More drinkage happened. Then things got a little rowdy so we headed to Shaun’s who had his own place. By 5.00am people were pretty tired so we all got into bed. Sharing a bed with 3 men and another lady is hard work. In more ways than one, *Ahem.* It was hilarious though. Also, like one of those maths problems you have because everyone wanted to sleep next to someone else - the guys were pretty funny about not sleeping next to another guy. Anyway. There were many comments about who was snuggling who and whose hand was where. Not much sleep happened. Then the next day I bought Sam home and extended the party. Raowwwwwwww.

Mum: Rosie bought home such a goodlooking boy the other day!! I told her next time that she needed to bring someone like that home for me!

I liked that Sam was really funny and a total dirtbag but then the next day he put his glasses on and told me he was a maths teacher and some math skip-a-year child prodigy. Wicked.

Then it was Christmas Day and I spent it with my family and my uncle Paul supplied the champagne and there were good times!

Then it was my birthday and yet again there was good times and then our New Years Eve hippy party.

Things that happened in 2008: Mainly, I resigned. When you feel like you are on the brink of the edge of a breakdown it is probably for the best if you just resign. I am working my last week now and leaving such amazing people is hard. Really hard. They are lovely and kind and generous and some of them are geniuses and well recognised in their fields. My last day is on Friday and I am so angry I have to leave just because SOME PEOPLE are idiots.
