it's Saturday
and i'm making a very rare blog entry... why? Because I'm at work you see! It's getting to crunch time for the launch of one of our new portals and we're running around like santy's elves and xmas eve. I kind of enjoy the rush of when a project is about to be completed. Don't like losing the weekend over it, but ho hum.
I think I'm finally starting to get over this killer cold that has plagued me since I returned from sub zero Toronto temperature on Tuesday morning. I have cough that makes people on the bus get up and sit further away from me for fear of contracting it!
We went to see Tori Amos last night in Hammersmith... Holy moly is it far away from where we live or what? I guess it's beamingly obvious that I spend all my time in the north/east part of London... apart from when i'm at work which constitutes as the west end but I don't see it that way...Anyhoo... the concert venue was nice and small and it turned out to be a sit down concert which was kind of odd but good for me since I'm not 100% well right now. The show was sadly flat and the stage decor and the lighting effects were something to be likened to a child's school play. I couldn't believe it! She a brilliant musician and the guys she plays with are fab as well but it just didn't do it for me. She played new and old but still it was flat. Ah well. The concert wasn't a total loss as miss H and I marvelled as this woman in the row over from us was crying and singing along feigning what could only be described as an emotional breakdown. Her poor boyfriend sat and cowered, in disbelief of his gf's madness. The highlight was the two young girls in front of us holding hands and jumping up and down holding up their mobile so their friend at home could hear. It was so sweet to see them so excited. That made the night worthwhile.

sentence only uttered by my female boss...
'okay i'm going to go troll some porn'
followed by office laughter... then
'ooh look I found something great! Tom can you translate 'hot girls want you now' into Dutch?'
... a tag line suggested by no one other than... me. God it's funny here sometimes. I love that the inclusion of porn as a revenue generator can cause such frolic in a normally quiet office.
Friday has been a bit manic here for me after having left my mobile at home and thus standing up Kim for our lunch date that was incidentally double booked and then cut short by a last minute conference call request popping into my inbox... quick drink with my favourite dearbhla after work and then over to the lovely Hannah's for supper. Note to self... buy wine...god it almost sounds like I have a life...
Off to Toronto tomorrow for my Grandmother's 75th b'day. The whole gang will be there... lets just hope I manage to stay conscious.
Talks with my mother to convince her to go into the bed and breakfast business with me were cut short when I informed her that her duties would include:
laying in the sun
reading books
and oh yea... financing it
I have no idea why she's not up for it?
*laughs evilly*

Terhi asks me...
what are you going to come up with today... Dunno really. I've actually been busy this morning and have had work to doo... Most inconvient as it's infringing on my blog reading time. *gurlge*
The sun is beautiful and bright meaning it's dang cold. I was watching one of my favourite programs last night it's called no going back. It's on channel 4 and I LOVE it!
This is the one I watched last night:
TUSCANY - Wednesday 8 January 9pm.
Richard Turnbull, Sarah Fraser and their son Gregory have swapped their house in Leeds for a 15 acre olive farm in Tuscany. The plan is to be self-sufficient, make their own olive oil, and convert their barn into holiday accommodation.
One day it will be me on that program... let me tell you... mind you, unlike the folks last night... I would NEED a loo and a hot shower!
Anyone got a nice B&B for sale? I've got a tenner with your name on it!
*laughs but really cries*

the white fluffy stuff
is sure causing a lot of commotion and joy around the office today. The snow that is falling in London today is big, is white and is fluffy... Good packing snow to all us more seasoned snow connoisseurs... but packing snow is no good on no base... alas people are still managing to collect handfuls of the stuff and launch snowballs at one and other. I wish I could share their fervour! I guess I've had too much in my life to be excited by the sight of it... AH well it happens like once every three years here in London so it's not that bad.
I'm burning time from all angles here again at work... I really hope that Mr. Sean lands a job here in the UK, I would be the happiest kitty in the world!
I am the queen of mini disc creation
yea,
whatever.

ode to chucking it all in
I've been battling with the overwhelming urge to just chuck it all in and explain to my boss that I am sooooooo unbusy and that I feel soooo useless. but I think I'm going to fight that for a bit...
she knows and if they didn't want me they would have chucked me out by now... kind of does your head in after a while... the chimes of that awful word 'career' start to ring in the back of my mind and the paranoia feeling that I've taken a job waaaay below my abilities in some aspects and beyond in others nags me... what the hell am I doing here? Why can't I save any money and just chuck this all in and buy a nice little bed and breakfast and have my mum and grandparents move to the place and help me run it... guess they would first have to come to terms with my gayness... do you think the bribe of a life in the sun at a lovely bed and breakfast by the sea could bribe them into just accepting that part of my life? God, imagine if I could do that, sounds like I could solve all life's problems in one go! *runs off to sell soul to buy a bed and breakfast by the sea*

so
here I sit making little sandwiches of sorts with my bag of peanuts and raisins... half peanut on bottom, raisin in the middle and other half peanut on top... I think I will soon need to be committed.
work is slowly trickling in.
it's a deluge going on at home as things between peeps in the flat are boiling over. I do not want to be in the middle. I'm shutting down. I just can not cope. I don't want to feel this way. I want to live in peace. I am simply dreading going home tonight.
There was a terrible commotion on this bus I was on this morning... not sure what it was but it involved the bus being crowded and the driver shutting the door too quickly and what I can only imagine someone getting something caught in the door while the driver abruptly pulled away... there was shouting and screaming and fierce angry words launched from people to the driver and visa versa. My mind froze, my ears started ringing... I felt as if my whole body was just shutting down. It was only 1 minute down the road until we got to my stop. The doors opened and I floated onto the concrete. I was in shock. I just couldn't handle what had just happened. Ears ringing body still numb I arrived at work... to the impending flat spat.
Here I sit. still numb... hoping the little nuts and raisins settle my nerves...
hello new year... this is me.

ahhh...
Friday, not that ANYTHING has happened at work this week, but I've been sat here like a trooper playing with my new mini disc that my mum and seestor purchased for me for xmas. They are far too good to me!
I now sit contemplating the January sales... so many temptations... how ever will I manage this lunch hour????
NYE was fun... contrary to my poll hosted in the right hand column of my blog for the past week... I didn't end up staying home having a hot bath and going to bed... Instead we wound up at Charlotte's house in Stratford playing with Kim and their friends till the wee hours of the morn. It was good fun indeed... however I think the evening's festivities have left me with a bit of a stuffy nose... *sniffle*
oh yea... happy 30th b'day Siobhan!!!!!!!!!!! So sorry I cant' make it to Lisboa tonight (I even checked the cheapie last minute flights) but alas, there is nothing in my budget range :(
Amazon are pants... my CD's never arrived, ho hum... how gracious of them to refund me... no apology no, here's free shipping on your next order... nope, just a nod, and a 'oh yea, here's your money back that we've sat on for the past month' *grumbles*
Todd, you're a star for surprising me with the book from my wish list! Thanks to everyone else for all pressies received... Mark the Japanese Amelie poster is simply stunnig!Lisa, your 2kg jar of peanut butter will last me from now till this time next year... I'm the happiest Canadian in London because of it!
In a burst of social energy, I'm trying to cull a group of peeps together this Sunday for a drinkie and a chill afternoon at the Pool* in Shoreditch at around 2pm... Psychos need not attend as we are mad enough as it is... but if you're reading this and can jet to London or are already here... please join...
*Pool where is it? It's on Curtain Road, Shoreditch, between Old Street and Great Eastern Street. Closest tube is Old Street, although Liverpool Street is pretty close too.

I'm baaaack!
I think so anyways. I'm half conscious and sitting at my desk in a semi comatose state. It's quite incredible what sleep depravation can do to your spactial perception. I've been awake now for like forever. I landed in London at half ten and took a cab from Paddington station to my flat. From there I had a cup of tea, a shower then jumped on the bus to head into work. It's all so dream-like... I wonder if I am really here at all?
I slept for about 2h on the plane... it was freaking cold. I was really happy to see that they only played one film and it was the 'bourne identity' lucky in that I had no interest at all in watching it thus wasn't tempted to try and stay awake and watch it.
The rain and the humidity were a joy to me and me alone today. I swear, I'd take it any day over the snow and freaking freezing temperatures in Toronto that I endured over the past few days!
Xmas was great. I had such a fun time with my mum and my sis. Got to see Noeleen, Karm, Mark, Andy, Lisa, Dave, Ashley... and all the family peeps too!
My little 8 year old cousin is such a sweetie. She's so smart. My Grandfather was telling me a story about when she was 5. He had asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up... she responded 'a scientist cause they're the smartest people in the world' my grandfather then asked 'didn't you want to be an artist?' she then quickly replied 'grandpa, I AM an artist!' She's sooo funny. She absorbs everything. She opened her box of animal encyclopaedias from my sister and immediately remarked how she had another set from the same series citing 'the writing is the same on the covers' Woa. Smart or what? Identifying typefaces and fonts at age 8? Man!
I'm feeling mostly woozy now and am not sure just how I'm going to make it home without passing out on the bus and ending up in some part of town I don't know.... think I may need an escort... Miss hazel???? will you come and rescue me?

shh... don't tell anyone...
I'm pretending to be a girl today. I'm wearing very high heels and all. It's all in honour of our office xmas party. I thought I would be brave and wear them to work this morning... Damn things nearly killed me! They're about three inches high with and ankle strap they've got a narrow squared point at the front... And jesus, mary, joseph and the little donkey to they ever make the ball of my foot hurt when I walk! Hazel advises to walk on the back of my foot putting the weight on the heel. I am completely able to do this. I don't know why??? I can however walk half normally in them, it's only the pain of my face that gives it away... Any one else have any tips on how to walk in heels?
Please... someone help me!... I am a casualty of fashion.

If
my stats are any indication to how many sickos there are out there... my god. what a nightmare! I am now going to go through all my posts and nix the words that are pulling up all these distressing referals to my site. *yuckie*
It's beautiful and sunny here for the first time in nearly 3 weeks. It does such wonders to your mood, when you have a bit of sunshine!
Amazon does indeed suck as there was nothing in my letterbox last night. I'm very cross. This is just a piss take now!
Tonight I think I'm going to take Hazel out on a secret date... won't be secret for long if she reads this... but lets just see how long it takes for her to sus me out...
hmm where to go... any suggestions?

tsk tsk!
Amazon.co.uk it's taken them more than 13 days to dispatch my order... Both items I chose were fully in stock and were supposed to be available immediately. I was just about to throw in the towel and cancel the bloody order when up pops notification that it's been dispatched this morning. How convenient!
I managed to rustle up a new article for mutation spotting over the weekend. It's not an easy feat to summarize something in just 250 words. I really hope that I can get commissioned to write for them. It would be super fab. *crosses fingers*
Only 4 more sleeps now till I fly home. I'm just really hoping they don't declare war between then and now... It would be most inconvenient! Just in time for returning home, I seem to be acquiring my annual xmas ailment. I'm hoping my flu jab helps ward it off!
Had a most lovely lunch with Dearbhla yesterday at Mash. The food was not that great but her company as splendid as always! Lunch today with Jojo and Michelle. Our office xmas party is at some private members club near here... it's on Thursday. It's a dressy uppy thing. Looks like I'll be wobbling about on my heels!
Can I just say that pathetic small minded ex's are so freaking sad. Sometimes situations in life make me smile ear to ear, especially when certain people finally get what they deserve!

knowing my mother will never read this, I can safely note here the list of various white chocolate goodies I got her for xmas... Seestor tells me she's even thinner than the last time I saw her... Grieving is just stripping away the pounds... but there isn't much of her to lose!
1 terry's chocolate orange ball (white)
1 box of after eights (white)
1 packet of white chocolate buttons
1 limited edition white chocolate aero
1 white kit kat
All of these items are NOT available in Canadia, thus adding specialness.
I am safe in the knowledge that it is safe from my chocoholic tendencies as I abhor white chocolate! *phew* This should keep her busy!

There was...
a very unusual amount of sick about town this morning... first someone appeared to have an unfortunate incident on the 30 this morning, followed by an alarmingly high amount on the footpath, through the square I walk through on my way to work... Could it be over indulgence at xmas parties? Could it be an epidemic of the flu? Or could I have just inadvertently followed the path of the poor sod? Very yucky nonetheless!
Popbitch is back up and running again. What a joy it brings to my sad sad existence. I'm supposing they were smartly laying low due to their media trashing a few weeks back about the DB scandal.
Why do people call booze, plonk here? That is one thing I will never understand...

I've just only recently...
seen what David Grey looks like... Now back in Ottawa he was considered terribly uncool. Not that I cared, thus when I was bombarded by his music in the studio around the time of Filament's demise, I do admit to becoming fond of his music. Now that I'm in the UK and he's got a new album out, he seems to be everywhere. To me, his face doesn't match his music at all... I can liken this feeling I have to one that most people experience when they first see their favourite radio dj in person... the voice very rarely matches the face.
Kudos to the guy at the Merc shop on Carnaby st. this lunch time. He was really sweet and helpful when I was trying to find something for my friend Karm for xmas. Not that I have much interest in shopping there, but if I did, I would.

As ever...
Dearbhla is always the finder of all that is cool and trendy... renouncing cat ownership for a single woman as, 'giving up' and a definitive trigger to a 'spinster alert'... Resolving to avoid this possibly precarious situation has opted to become the proud owner of one of these....
I really want one for my desk! Mind you it's so cold in there the damn things would probably freeze!
I dig the colour options!

I would have never thought this would have happened to me...
I'm a self confessed sweet tooth. However, for some odd reason, ever since the weekend I've not been able to manage to drink my regular brew! It seems that it's suddenly become too sweet! How could this be? I usually take 2 sugars in my tea and now I'm cut down to one... What's a girl to do? How could such a thing happen? Is this a symptom of old age? Is it all down hill from here?
Our travellers have departed back to the land of Canadia, lets just hope they take this chilly weather with them! Darrell reports that it's minus 20 Celsius in Ottawa so we shouldn't feel so bad here!
11 more sleeps till I depart for Canadia... feeding extra mouths has severely depleted my bank account so I'm again accepting donations!
My permanent contract is due on my desk in the next few days. So strange in the wake of all the layoffs here in the last two weeks... I almost feel guilty, but not quite. If it was my time to go, I would have gone.
