Jul. 17th, 2008 06:31 pm68 weeks? Huh.
Luckily I'm still not bitter. (Like the Murphy's)
Oblique? Nah.
Okay, I so totally read one of the moods as irradiated. Should I worry?

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down...
Sep. 21st, 2006 05:41 pmIt's been an odd week.
Of the good. I spent two days in Dublin earlier in the week, courtesy of work. Hurrah. Of course, had to do the customary drinking of Guinness. And shan't be doing it again.
Of the bad. I have lurgy. OK, no I don't, but I do have my first cold of the autumn, and my throat feels like sandpaper. Grr.
In other news, Natwest suck! For context, I made a payment by cheque for my credit card bill. The cheque debited correctly, but the credit never got there. So I got a late payment charge, and then interest, but not on the amount that didn't get paid - the whole amount on my credit card. Phoned up, they've reversed the late payment, but after 'investigation' will not refund the interest.
Now, the whole process of the credit getting from A to B is totally outwith my control, but they are penalising me for it. Can anyone help with how it is best to get my money back/ the interest charge refunded? I am tempted to straight out complain and see where this gets me. I'm totally useless when it comes to talking to people on the phone and I would rather see them resolve it before it gets to the complaint stage. The complaint I have no problem with. My written complaints are ace. It's phone stuff.
And if I didn't already know, this whole thing would prove that at least 80% of people who work for banks are useless, brainless fucksticks.
In conclusion:

In conclusion:
Note to idiotic workbod: We're totally going to notice that you have cut through the internet line thing and then done a badly hidden bodge job on repair when we are unable to get on to t'internet. However, one of the parental units happens to be ace at joining wires so we have temporary internettage. Don't think that you aren't going to pay though. Dumbfuck.
In other news; My workplace in sense of humour shocker. Opened a spreadsheet (and gorram that feels like that is all I am doing with my life lately) only to find that it was locked for editing apparently by 'Escamillo Thunderbunny'. Well it made me laugh.

I don't like Mondays
Aug. 7th, 2006 05:53 pmAnd sometimes I'm not overkeen on the rest of the week.
Today sucked harder than a [see I don't even have the energy to complete that simile].
My former boss is still a fuckstick. One of my former colleagues tells tales. Another gives me evils. Oh sorry, obviously I forgot to genuflect whilst being granted your presence. Gah.
And to top all of it off, the bloody Starbucks machine at work wasn't working.
Monday, you have failed me grievously.

caro_di_tutti...look at what I'm listening to. Know that it's all your fault.

caro_di_tutti...look at what I'm listening to. Know that it's all your fault.I think I should just start this day over.
First, I'm up at 6.30 on a weekend.
Then, I manage to spill/ throw coffee all over my desk/ wall/ floor.
Finally, I have somehow managed to hit my head and now have a comedy lump, vaguely reminiscent of those in Looney Tunes cartoons.
Well they do say it comes in threes. Please let that be it. Or I will cry, gnash my teeth and stamp my feet. Well I would, but I'd probably injure myself further. ^_^

Have been woken by a rather large thunderstorm.
On the one hand - yay thunderstorm.
On the other - no, it's before 7 on a Saturday, ffs! Happen later.
And as I am yawning and still too hot I shall shake my tiny fist at the world. Weekends are for sleeping in, dammit!

I less than three my new job. No rilly.
Mainly as I have actual things to do this week. And they are giving me sole responsibility for something. Which just seems wrong. I finally have a proper grown up job. This scares me. Amongst many other things.
And that is all.
Yay.

Reasons to be cheerful...
May. 8th, 2006 10:45 pmSupernatural. We get to see blood and gore. Hurrah. How I love thee. Also Jensen, more attractive by the week. Please wear less clothing.
Smallville. Mmmm pretty boys. Not enough blood and gore. Huh. SPN would totally have run with that, people. Subtlety, thy name is usually not SV. Oh and when do we have the ep with the krypto infected moths that cause Lex and Clark's clothes to fall off? Hmm. (Yes,caro_di_tutti, I do realise that this was totally your idea.)
My parents, geeks that they are. I never stood a chance...More specifically mum for oh it's Ray!!! Yes yes it is.
I only have 17 days left in my job and then to pastures new, well no still at same building. Different floor, different boss. Hurrah. And yet *bites nails*
I got a v nice dress for wedding and I look pretty oh so pretty and erm, I think that I should back away slowly from the puter. I am slightly scared now. And unaccountably bouncy. And that made me laugh in a bad way. And yet I am still typing.
Must. Stop.

Why is it, that every time that I see a relative that I haven't seen for a while that I am asked, 'So have you got a boyfriend yet?'
One of these days, I swear the answer is going to be 'No, and I haven't got a girlfriend either.'
Also, wtf has it to do with anyone, and why oh why oh why are they so keen to pair me off??
Also I really need a WTF? icon.
