Okay so there's obviously some relationship between it being a weekend, late at night and approx. once a month 'cause
that seems to be when these entries all happen. A research project there for someone So what's been happening in SpencerLand (TM)? Well, there's been some scandal although I'm not gonna mention it here
(do you really think I'm that crazy) but rest assured at least one of my friends has topped me in that category (you know
who you are). Work has sort of settled down, would you believe I'm actually finding myself with too much to do? The laptops
still not fixed but I have a rather kewl new Ericsson phone to keep me happy in the meantime. Actually getting used to the
travelling just sooooooo knackered still. And managed my first day in the office till 10pm - yuck!
Well it hasn't been all work, work, work - I've had the first two of my Christmas shopping trips with very successful
results for everyone concerned (except Midland Bank), caught up with a large bunch of my friends over lunches and after
work drinkies with more to come, Tommy's birthday bash (yep I was there till very late drinking vodka - hic!), a trip to
Disney's Beauty & the Beast Musical (so camp it is untrue) and my Mum's birthday. Okay now I need a rest.
Thoughts are now beginning to turn to the Christmas/New Year arrangements and a possible move back to London in the
New Year - that's your warning people...
Lyrics of the moment:
Wednesday November 24th, 11:49pm
Once in a while I do something a little bit mad and I'm lying on the floor of a friends flat in Bath wondering if
that applies to today. Before anyone gets a bit lost let me define "mad" - it's like when I've been on a train from
Manchester to London home from a conference and got our at Birmingham "cause it seemed like a good idea" or when I let
myself get 'kidnapped' to Chichester back in my University days. Today started much like any other day - the alarm
went off and I groaned at the prospect of getting up. From there on it wasn't a usual day - I was on a train to Bristol
instead of my usual train to London for a meeting, I was early (shocker), I had time to get a coffee before leaving the
station and I had some money (having just been paid).
My meeting went fairly well and then I arranged to meet Chris (who I had exchanged some emails with) and his boyfriend Chris
in Bath for a drink. We got chatting and the drinking extended and the upshot is that I missed my train and I'm writing
this at midnight and face getting into work tomorrow from Bath *groan*. So that's why it's been a bit of a mad day on
one level at least.
I have to say that these two guys were stars - they listened to some news that I've been bursting to tell someone for
ages and then spent the next couple of hours trying to get me to be a lot more positive about it all. Somehow I doubt this
was what Chris was expecting when I interrupted his Homebase shop and rudely burst into their lives when I called him earlier
today saying I might be in town later... I suppose what I didn't tell them is that I am just really scared at the moment
and there's not really anyone that can help with that, and I'm not sure if that admission isn't a "mad" thing in itself.
Lyrics of the moment:
"You find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be."
Westlife "Flying Without Wings" (1999)
"That's me in the corner
That's me in the Spotlight
Losing My Religion
Trying to keep up with you."
REM "Losing My Religion" (1991)
