work is ...

making me mental. so much so i managed to pull this expression out of a hat in response to an email from a co worker...

" Oh my god, I'm stressing... I'm having kittens. And then, once they're born, I'm going to drown myself in the river with them!"

Classic Jarriot fatalistic phrase

So...

Today may be the first of September

And the mere thought of that convinces me that winter is just a day away… that was of course until I checked the BBC weather site … which announces 29 degrees and sunny as the forecast for this weekend…

Tomorrow after work all the Project managers are going to venture out on the annual narrow boat adventure. Our director of PM owns one and is going to set us off down the canal after work. It’s quite exciting as I’ve never been on one before J I shall make sure to take pictures

I learned a very important life lesson yesterday… cycling while wearing lip gloss is like cycling with fly paper on your lips… both catch them… both would be as effective as one and other… yuck

KJ is in Brighton this evening. I’m so sad I can’t see her. She arrives at 6 and leaves tomorrow morning at 7 so there is really no time to see her. It’s quite disappointing really as this is her one and only trip to the London area this year… and she starts back at school next week so that’s it! I’m toying with the idea of going down there on the train after work… but I’m on my bike and by the time I get home and get on the train and get there it will be 10pm at the earliest… then I would have to slug it back up to London first thing with all the crazy commuters… argh. Life is so not fair sometimes…

Today I am mostly feeling...

Extraordinarily angry towards miss woo… whom after a spout of rudeness towards my friend who was in town visiting a few weeks back… defended her actions as being fuelled by her residual anger towards me for having broken up with her… and thusly decided that she no longer wanted to see me. I’ve been nothing more than patient with her and accommodating to her every whim of wanting to be my friend and then not cycles… I’ve had enough. I can’t believe that at 28 I’m still dealing with this sort of rubbish. The more I think about it… the more I’m inclined to think that telling the truth never seems to be the best policy… I guess people are just more comfortable ending a relationship in a dramatic fashion rather than in a logical adult manor. I don’t’ get it. You’re damned if you do, you’re dammed if you don’t.

The long weekend was a well needed treat. Should be just enough to keep me going until the big launch next week and my flight out of here on the 10th!

Note to self… going to the gym at half six on a Tuesday morning is sheer insanity… and if attempted, will leave you feeling mostly drowsy in the early afternoon. However it does act as a good way of actually getting one’s arse to the gym when you’re generally too busy working late.
