Working 9-5...never again!

FOR KAORI: Hi! It's easier to contact me by email, so just send me something and we can communicate more easily! And I'm glad you're doing the JR experiment - I hope you get selected.

Back to le blog...the computer and internet have been doing weird things of late. Just this morning O got an email from me, despite the fact that I didn't send it. I had left the room to get a cuppa tea and then shortly after he gets an email from me with just one word. Weird. And then Chris sent me the same message twice in the space of 3 hours (this wasn't just Chris being Chris - hehe - it was a weird thing that the computer did). Then this arvo when I signed in I saw some messages sent to me, but the messages were in duplicate and I got them sent to me 20 minutes apart. Very strange indeed.

Had a good day at work after 2 mediocre ones, so it was nice to stop the flooding of bad days. I don't know how ppl work full time. It's midweek (apparently, I've lost track of days so I'm not sure anymore!) and I'm just so tired to do anything. But I had the biggest laugh at work with my friend Jenny who does DEAD RINGER impersonations of ppl. She kept doing them sporadically during the day and I laughed so much. It's not my usual laugh, this was a strong, loud and contagious one that just encouraged Jenny to no end - that really put a smile on my face! We were also speaking in 'Princess Bride-isms'. Inconceivable!

I'm glad I went for my 6am workout today, otherwise I wouldn't have been bothered to go for a workout. I don't know how I used to do it. At least I'm earning good $ up until I leave. 10 days. Tomorrow it will be single digits....that's never happened before....SCARY! This weekend I've dedicated it to saying farewell to mates and packing. It'll be my last farewell to Sam and James. I've still got one more with Bill and Jackki on the morning I leave.

I am continuing my farewells at work with customers. But there is 1 couple I'm finding it hard to say goodbye to. They are a middle aged couple who are so nice. They don't have any children and they made a joke one day to me, saying that they would love to adopt me because everytime they see me, I always have a smile on my face :) So they are now my adoptive parents. And I see them everyday, they are an awesome couple. I haven't yet broken the news to them that I'm leaving, even though I saw my 'Dad' today! The longer I delay it, the harder it will be. I'll break it to them tomorrow...I've got the supervisor shift for the next 2 days, which gives me some more freedom from the pack, therefore I'll have more time to veg out. Wish me luck folks! As you wish...

I haven't had much time with Mum (the real Mum!) just coz everytime she gets back from work, I'm in bed as I have to wake up early. Then I wake up for a 6am workout, I come back home, get dressed and in 20 minutes I'm out of the house and when I get back from work, she starts the late shift. Then the pattern starts again. Hopefully we'll get some time on the weekend and next week before I go. The magnitude of my departure comes and goes. It's here now.

I had a dream with Chris last night - he got a dislocated shoulder as he was reaching to get a DVD on a high shelf for me. He was cool about it. And he told me that he really wasn't left handed. I said, 'neither am I'!

Enough wackiness, I'm getting tired. And in case I don't get a chance, have fun in Oslo dude! :)

Bye for now.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: I cooperate and become healthy, whole and complete.
