It’s been a heavy week… still not totally over feeling ill from last weekend and I have been so busy at work it’s not
true. At least the presentation on Wednesday went well and Stuart is happy about that which is good. Very tired
today, ventured out this morning for essential supplies having hid under my duvet till gone mid-day. Well if you
can’t lie in at weekends what is the good of having a weekend?
Spent most of this afternoon alternating between catching up on the washing-up, answering my emails and looking
through the property pages - what a glamorous life I lead *grin*. The soundtrack to this afternoon has been the James
Bond themes, which gives me a good excuse to have my first ever Shirley Bassey quote in lyrics of the moment, and it’s
not meant to sound as bitchy as a few people are bound to interpret it as.
The next couple of weekends suddenly appear to busy with a flurry of last minute arrangements in the offing - will
be nice to see some of these people I haven’t seen in years.
Lyrics of the moment:
2000 is my year of doing “stuff” - instead of simply talking about it, and in a small way today has been another one of
those things… my first footie match (cheers Phil). Arsenal Vs. Liverpool at Highbury in London. Arsenal lost :0(
But what’s been going on more generally? Well the complex arrangements sort of fell flat on their face although I
have continued the email catch up *sigh* will it ever end? Work continues to be frantic but it is now confirmed that the
presentation I was talking about in my last entry did go well. Roll on the next one.
I’m also doing one of those big self-assessment things I go through every now and again - looking at where I’m
heading (or not) and seeing where I want to be. If I knew the answer. All very mysterious which either means everything is
gonna change or suddenly the pieces will fall into place. Any bets?
Lyrics of the moment:
I’m sat here on a train which is good (a) because it means I survived the working week (b) I didn’t feel like drowning my
sorrows in a bar after finishing the presentation (c) it means my laptop is home for the weekend and (d) I get home at a reasonable hour!!!!
When I started to keep this diary the trend was that I seemed to write it a look at weekends and strange hours in the morning..
well the first bit still holds pretty true but I guess there’s more a pattern (regular occurrence?) of ups and downs… that and I never
seem to get anywhere with the much talked about redesign.
So what has been happening? Well work has been frantic as ever, I am sooo looking forward to next week and not just ‘cause
I’m going to the dentists so may end the toothache pain. But because it will give me a good chance to tidy things up and generally
consolidate what I’ve been trying to get on with the past couple of weeks. Still managed to catch up with a few friends this week and
more in the offing - you can tell pay day is close, I can almost taste it!
This weekend it’s quieter - long lie-ins with only the comfort of my duvet, people who disturb this intimate relationship by calling
waaaaayyyyy to early will be given the death penalty. It’s Jason’s house warming in London on Saturday so that’s a good chance to
catch up with him *and* I get to see Danny as well and return his videos to him. Oh and the boring bit - the washing up, tidying the
flat (till I get bored) and spending far to much time answering emails.
Lyrics of the moment:
Tuesday 29th February , 11.25pm
It's been one of *those* weeks and certainly one of those days - there's times when I could probably cope with it, like
water off a ducks back. This is not one of those times. From people sending me psycho messages on the Internet,
dentists who seem to think it's okay to leave me in pain for weeks on end, and just a general "we're crap attitude" from
a large number of people. Oh and my laptop is playing up again. Hint: Never buy an IBM ThinkPad or accept a job where
you have to use one, it can seriously impact on your sanity and stress levels.
It's a shame really cause I have had quite a good couple of days - with Phil's Birthday get together on Friday - and
me on the dancefloor for hours. At least that got the stress out of my system a bit. What's the other news? Hmm...
Nothing really I want to share. Sorry. Too much is happening at the moment and it's all happening too fast - I just
think one things sorted and then it isn't and I find that worrying. And there seems to be a nasty trend developing of
people thinking they can just bounce me into doing stuff - do these people really know me? do they like me? do they
care? I suspect the answer to these questions is really no. So why does it bother me? Something to ponder.
At least the Web site is nearly finished... hope you all like it (when it finally goes live!!) oh and I'm going
to be in the audience of this weeks Question Time as my year of "doing stuff" rolls on.. still need to organise that
trip to Swan Lake though... Any other suggestions for me?
Anyone disliking the quote should remember it's now 20 to midnight, I have to get up at 6am tomorrow and you
can't always find the exact wording.. but it's pretty close. Anyhow it's my diary - get your own!! ;-)
Lyrics of the moment:
"Diamonds are forever
Sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for."
Shirley Bassey "Diamonds are Forever" (1971)
"What you doing,
Hey what you doing?
Walking through danger can’t see the wrong or the right."
Bananarama "Trick Of The Night" (1987)
"No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter whey they take us
We’re find out own way back."
Boyzone "No Matter What" (1999)
"I do not count myself among you
I may be living a dream
It's just there seem so many of you
Can't help but hope
There's a difference between... you and me."
George Michael "Star People 97" (1997)
