Choices

My biggest problem at the moment is that I cannot decide what phone I want to buy!
I know I want a new one - Just don't know which one! They're all fat and ugly or bulky and ugly!

Since I cannot make up my mind and choose one of the uglies.

So - I am still using the old one!

Bahh!

Smack that!

The most entertaining thing I did today was watch an episode of Grey’s Anatomy ~ and this episode did not feature McDreamy enough. Judging from the high point, you can guess how crappy the rest of the day was. I also painted my fingernails - for therapeutic reasons. This way, I’d have wet nail paint, which means I can’t use my hands, and thus I can’t hurl anything out of my window. (Objects to be hurled: the cell phone, the laptop, the fan, the chair, the teddy bear, the mirror, and anything I can lift!) I would have thrown these things out earlier but I had temporarily lost use of my right hand – because sometime around 5pm, after declaring that I was having a shitty day, I went to the pantry to get myself a hot cup of milo and ended up spilling half the steaming contents on my hand. It went numb and then it hurt like hell. Especially the soft skin between the thumb and the index finger – HELL I say!

The Barclays, ABN, RBS, Bank of America fiasco is also another source of entertainment. It’s almost as good as celebrity gossip.

I faced an interesting situation over the weekend, when at a party, one of the guests said something unpleasant to me, for no apparent reason (no, I wouldn’t have offended them in any way, considering I barely spoke to them and don’t know them) I wonder how such “educated” and “mature” people can stoop to such lows. I did not deliver the otherwise well deserved bitchslap because I did not want to insult my wonderful host’s guests! Man, if only I had!

On to more pleasant things – the cute Spanish boy (CSB) will be joining the team starting Monday. We took him out for dinner at Equinox, which serves below average food with a great view! CSB is very friendly and the accented English is oh-so-cute! Later, he managed to convince us that we should all have drinks, on a Monday night. We gave him extra brownie points, even before he’s started! Next week would be interesting, to say the least!

The gym friends have noticed my absence as of late, and I have a lot of catching up to do starting Thursday! *groans* I hope I break something, a minor burn is not a good enough reason to not go to the gym and not feel guilty!

3 more days till the weekend – there is still hope!

Granola makes me grouchy...

The good news: boss’s boss is NOT coming to town, and therefore I don’t have to work my ass off to produce a whizbang presentation by next week; the cute, curly haired, colored eyed Spanish boy is indeed joining our team, and we’re be taking him out for a fancy dinner next week!

The bad news: there is sooooooo much work to be done! And I haven’t worked out in almost 2 weeks; I could barely jog on Tuesday and today at the gym, I just gave up. Gym felt like slow, painful death – so 40 mins into the work out, I just stopped the treadmill and walked off! So now I feel fat, AND lazy! Bummer!

Other, not so important news : last week I felt like a clerk at work. I also found out that some freakin’ investment banks are paying their summer interns a full employee pay, WHICH IS MUCH MORE THAN MINE! Some twerp will walk off with a huge pay check, and no taxes, no provident fund, nothing! I am right to feel underpaid and over worked! UNFAIR!

I think I have to stop eating those darned “healthy” granola bars for breakfast! Health food as first meal of the day makes me cranky!

I am completing my 1 year in the company in about 2 weeks time ~ I no longer have the “new-hire” tag to protect me, so now I can just hope that the “innocent” look works, every time I stuff something up! This also means that now I can bully the newbies and act like I own the place!

One year out of the university and into the work – force…where was I when time was flying by??
