Update
This morning I arrived to work and was greeted by 5 more msn requests from people whom I no doubt are mistaking me for this woman who is using my hotmail id as her login id for that dating site... won't be long till they find this blog... *ahhh* am I paranoid to think that someone is playing a joke on me...not a nice one if it is...
hmm... wondering if this caused me to have paranoia dreams about my ex turning mental and trying to murder me... I'm thinking that's quite possible... the paranoia, not the murder attempt...
back to work now i suppose...

Can you ever turn a ditch into a well?
Well some people should really bloody well hope so.
The bottom of my heart makes me wish that you can… but without action there is no chace… words are only worth so much… and don’t’ forget that half truths are only as good as lies.
Such are the themes rattling around my reality as of late… all so very silly really…
On a different note… it appears that whomever is using the same user name on this lava dating site as my hotmail ID is obviously looking for some pretty steamy encounters… I received another email from another bloke today… this one with pictures!!! His message was
"Just wondering if your the chick from Lavalife ;-) ...
heres my picture...hopefully you'll find me just as interesting..:) ..I too have a high sex drive ;-) and have yet to find my match :)"
LOL why is it that these types of random oddness seem to always happen to me!?
It’s hilarious!

Painting, pop corn and porn
My life on Saturday was mostly an alliteration of the letter ‘P’. I started painting a new picture (it’s now done :) ) and at 23h45 myself, Alonzo and the Aussie girls trundled down the Gate theatre down the road from my flat to watch 9 songs http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/collective/A3770002 . I say porn… but I don’t think it was really. There was a lot of shagging but it had a story and it was quite sweet… great tunes… would defo buy the sound track. And oh yea… I had popcorn at the theatre.
Sunday involved large amounts of champers and some really lovely cake… and finishing my painting. I would post a pic but I can’t download the software required from my new work machine… so looks like it will be a long while until I post any more pics… sad really as I’ve finally downloaded all the sri lanka pictures.
This morning I was msn’d by a stranger from Fredericton. He was very nice and polite. He told me he had seen my profile on Lava (? some dating site?) … I giggled. I don’t have one! It seems that there is someone registered on that dating site that uses the login sj_chick. Too bad I’m not registered as I would be interested to find out who he mistook me for?

Today is the anniversary
Of my dad’s departure from this earth… mum wrote me on Wednesday to tell me that they had a mass in the morning for him… and much to my mother’s amusement the priest mentioned my father’s name before the pope’s. Mum was convinced that my father would be chuffed with that.
Strange really… I feel so disconnected sometimes… guess it’s because I live so far away… but mum and KJ are always very optimistic about it… no other choice really… death doesn’t give you any other option as it’s kind of final.
Work is gearing up but best not to write about it as it will jinx it.
Today would be a good day for me to disappear completely… but I guess I should just go to the gym instead. *shrug*

I’ve written about this before…
But a long time back in an attempt to be cheeky and funny I wrote my name as Sarrah on MSN. This caused some embarrassing confusion with some of my work contacts in Europe who actually thought this was my real name… Just when I least expect it… the same situation has now happened again… This time it’s a bit more serious… my new boss seems to have adopted it… I’m too mortified to tell him that the double r is not real… that it was just to make me sound cooler…
Somehow, I don’t think that would go over very well… tee hee… guess I’m going to have to grin an bearr it.

You know
Sometimes just so much happens in the span of twenty days that it’s almost impossible to try and write it all down…
One thing is certain… the chair I’m sitting on at my new office – has a mind of it’s own… and I’m not far off from being convinced that it’s out to get me… at any given moment it will release the tilt and send me in a spastic tooth dive lunge towards my desk… should I call HR?

They got him!
Just heard from the police... they've remanded my old dodgy landlord ... and his trial is may this year... how exciting... didn't think they would ever track him down...
The weekend was a bit manic but got a lot done... Got hair cut (so short but it will grow back right?) Caught up with jo jo on Friday night at Sarah's b'day party... Saturday got caught up with Suresh before his trip to Tokyo for his show there... then sat night Hon and Naoko's wedding reception and then a nice walk on south bank with Alex.
Oh yes... not only is this my last week here at this job *cough* sweatshop *cough* but it is also only a few days before I leave on a bit of an adventure... I'm heading to Sri Lanka for 10 days with my flatmate! It was kind of a last minute decision but we're all booked! We return on the 15th and then I fly out to Palma on the 16th to meet with ze boi... and then before you know it, it will be the 17th and I will mostly be *gasp* 29! boy time sure does fly!
And after all of that... I start the new job on the 21st... hardly want to think about that bit of the picture... I'm just going to focus on enjoying the first time in my life that I've had 2 weeks off work consecutively... it's a little thing but it's a nice thing. Sun, however will also be a nice treat... my very not bikini- ready body will soon be exposed... lord help the locals.

sometimes I'm funny...
I just remembered... a few weeks back Andrea was driving me to my new flat with a car load of my things that she had been so graciously storing for me while I was in between places... She was at an intersection and accidentally caused her gears to grind...
'ooh my god' she said... ' I'm rubbish, wrong gear'
to which I responded...
'no no darling... it's not bad... I've always seen gears as more of a suggestion'.

ah Soya
so I've been mostly attempting to learn how to eat properly...
anyone who knows me, knows that I'm not the best of eaters... I don't get excited by food and I'm mostly lazy and eat things that don't require much attention... and mostly only things that never had faces... so it's quite a feat to try and learn how to eat the correct portion of fruit, veg and protein... the long and the short of it... I'm trying to see life beyond an 100% carbo diet... not an easy feat... but inspired by my seestor's ever successful foray to the carnivorous domain of Zone eating... I decided to give it a whirl
I'm not even that bothered by eating almonds and cottage cheese and an apple for breakfast... although I'm secretly craving marmite on toast!
Ze new miu miu handbag has arrive and it's Fabulous with a capital F! I've only a slight bit of moral dilemma about how it's possible to get it on the cheap... All instincts lean to it being of stolen origins...but I can neither confirm nor deny it... as Sinead said to me today... what's this big thing about 'morals' recently... all so over rated...
Is it possible for a job to be the death of you even after you resign... notice periods are punishment for crimes committed in past lives... that I am certain.

Addictions...
well they say that the first step to overcoming an addiciton is addmitting that you have one. We'll I've done 1 week and two days of non smoking... it's not an easy feat... so yea just when I think I'm getting a handle on one addiciton... up rears another...
evil thy name is ebay
beauty thy name is my new miu miu handbag that I just won. at £39.00 you just can't go wrong...
unless of course you are skint...
what do they call that grip that crocodiles hold you in when they spin you round and round underwater to kill you?
Oh yea, the spiral of death.
That about sums it up.
tee hee.

I baked really good cookies today for office peeps...
something sweet for valentines day!
I then warned all the girls on my floor that they would 'get a kicking' if they received flowers... Becky was the first. Her boyfriend is travelling through Chile and arranged for them to be sent all the way from over there... she was absolutely thrilled... and openly acknowledged that she was so happy, she wouldn't even mind the kicking. When did my jokes get so aggressive sounding :) ?
I started another painting last night... and in true Sarah fashion I painted for hours and hours and didn't even notice the time passing... I played the 18 track I was listening to three times before it registered that I better go to bed... I guess that's what it's like when you work at a job that you love... time just flies and you're happy the whole time... perhaps I should become a painter!?!?!?
I'm out tonight with Cecile... her friend stood her up for Valentine's dinner so I agreed to go to with her to the place she had booked a table... turns out it's my favourite Japanese restaurant! Should be nice. I even dressed up pretty-like. Not often that I willingly wear heels to work.
KJ sent me a txt wishing me luv and nice seestorly wishes. What a doll!
I hope cupid brings her a nice man! She so deserves it!

well
apart from falling off the blog wagon...
I've been busy working far too late into the night... which made me really ask myself what the hell I was doing at this job... at the end of the day it's just a job right? Which then made me start looking for a new job... which I've just found... and with an extra 6k and brill benifit package in my pocket... i'm a happy camper! It will be sad to leave here but I need to save my sanity... what's left of it anyway.
Spent a lovely weekend in Palma. Left last friday morning and returned this monday. Le boi is such a doll... he bought me the lovliest pearl necklace that is 25 years old. It's soooo purdy! On a related note, I've got a week and a half between finishing here and starting my new job what a joy it will be!!!!

I’m not too sure what it is…
But today alone I’ve received two invites to two separate parties this Saturday. Strange but fun!
One day into my search for freedom from this sweat shop and there is light already… the market is good… very good. I can almost smell the freedom… perhaps I should start practising how to spell resignation….
I wonder what the odds are of my holiday request being granted for next week… slim to none I’m thinking… but I’m hoping to go back to Mallorca.
It’s most likely the coldest day of the year here… brr Not the best day to have the heading in the office non functioning… also not the best day to be working late… not the best day to be exhausted… or having to finish the creative for the mutationspotting article I’m writing… also not good when you’ve got to do it all again tomorrow…
Anyone want to adopt me and afford me a life of leisure?

Palma....
was so beautiful. The blossoms on the almond trees were out and the sea so very blue green. We were there for the San Antoni festival in Manacor. Was a brilliant weekened all around.
It's so great to have a flat again... paying rent, not so exciting but having my own space is just great! I can't wait till summer and I can have breakfast on the terrace!
Can I just say how good the Kasabian ablum is?
Off to a costume party this pm. It's Sally's work's xmas party and it's a gangster and moll theme... will be good fun.
The hunt has started for a new job. I think i'm aiming for something freelance or short term. I need a break from this mental cycle...
Bon weekend!

I'm hoping...
That this marks the end of lots of evil annoyances that have plagued me this week... I slopped into work this morning with luggage and all... and then realised that I left my phone at home.
It gets better when I realised I've got to work over the weekend and on my day off when I'm supposed to be relaxing... and therefore now have to slog all the way back home to get my phone with luggage and the bloody laptop.
fucking kill me.

I am...
mostly very happy today... exhausted but happy!
The move went well but there is still a lot to do as the owner of the flat didn't have it cleaned properly and the estate agent called in her cleaning crew who ended up arriving at the same time as us... needless to say... most of our stuff is not in the flat yet, but moreso in the hall and the storage room (future painting studio)... that bit will happen when I get in from work tonight... if I ever get out of here... Working right after a move is VERY challenging... My face feels like it's on fire... or like I've been sitting in front of a fire for the past few hours... not a good thing, I'm just hoping it's exhaustion rather than the early onset of the flu... the flu is not something I'm keen on having as that would hamper my plans for Saturday in the most spectacular way!
I forgot what it feels like having a proper home and your own room... Guess maybe i'll feel a little less displaced as I have been in the past few months.
yipee!
