Good morning

7:50am.

I can't believe I'm at work this early in the morning. I had to wake up at the fricking crack of dawn to get here in time for our 8am meeting. 8am meetings are just WRONG.

My only consolation is that breakfast is provided, mmm. Bring on the muffins, pastries and fruit.

Riss = Piggy.

Oh, and it's good to see people posting again in our group blog.

La la la

Finally, Monday nights will be fab again with the return of Sex and the City. Woo! I watch it with my dad, it's our father-daughter bonding time, hee.

The Singo's way

One of the best things about working at Singleton Ogilvy&Mather is the staff bar. Located on Level 25 with awesome views of Sydney, it's stocked with all the spirits, wine, beer and champagne that you'd ever want. We can drink only after 5:30pm (drinking at lunch time is a sackable offence), so come 5:30pm Monday through to Friday there are people hitting the bar or taking drinks with them back to their desks while they finish off their work for the day. Alcohol, it's a great thing. This staff bar has helped me cut down on my alcohol expenditure as I usually drink here before heading out to meet friends.

Best. Job. Perk. EVER.




Walk this way

I think all Sydney women should start a petition to get The Walkway of Death fixed. You know the one I'm talking about. The walk way between Cockle Bay and King St. Wharf, outside the Aquarium. Those wooden planks with gaps between them large enough to trap the heel of your shoe in. I'm sure all women of Sydney can relate to the Herculean effort it takes to walk across The Walkway of Death after a big night of drinking at Cargo Bar or Bungalow 8. It's not a pretty sight when you see someone trip over. Even when you're sober it's a hard task to walk there when you're wearing heels.

Die Walkway of Death, DIE.


Friday MSN conversations

miss riss says: did you play the condom game? hehe
Mask of Despair -5 says: Eh? Condom game?
Mask of Despair -5 says: Harder than I expected. Thats not a pun.
Mask of Despair -5 says: How do you beat it?!
Mask of Despair -5 says: oh crap. I just read that sentence again...

*giggles*


Oops

Uh-oh. I just placed a $270 bid on a handbag and am the highest bidder. It seemed like a good idea 5 minutes ago but after calculating how much I spent in Japan and other expenses well...it's not such a good idea. I don't want it anymore! Please, please let someone outbid me. For the love of all reforming shopaholics please let someone outbid me!

Cheers

On the train this morning my friends and I came to the horrifying realisation that we've each spent around $30,000 on alcohol from the age of 16 til now. $30,000. Each. That's disgraceful.

*shakes head*

It's almost a deposit on a property or even a new car! But instead on spending it on something useful we spent it on drinking ourselves to the point of catatonia every Friday and Saturday night during our misguided youth (whilst still managing to score high 90's in our HSC, who said alcohol kills brain cells?!)

This excess consumption of alcohol, even before we were legal, probably explains why we all have very little saved now even though we've all been working part time since we were 15 and theoretically should have a lot of money saved. Oh well, it was worth it. Those memories of waking up in a boat in the middle of nowhere, a garden path or cold beach with a group of your closest friends with only a hazy recollection of the night before is priceless.

I wish I were 16 again. I miss being young and stupid and living a life with little responsibility.

I miss the wide open realms of impossibility actually seeming possible.

Catch up

For those of you concerned about my lack of posting about my trip to Japan don't worry, expect a long ass, detailed post soon. I would post up all the pictures I took with Pixel, but I used up my 1 gig compact flash card and I don't think anyone other than Mark or myself would want to look at them all.

Anyway, back at work today and I finally got my new mobile phone. Work bought our team Nokia phones and we each had to get a different one, I was lucky enough to 'bags' the 7610 first. It's all kinds of sexy with heaps of geeky apps that I'm loving. I haven't thought of a name for him yet though. Suggestions?

Yo!

Japan = All kinds of AWESOME!

I'm so tired, so don't want to go back to work tomorrow.

Need sleep.
