Singular Scene

So Singular in Each Particular

The Word is Spreading

The secret appears to be out at work so it might as well be out here too …

I have a new job.

*smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* *smile* *smile*

I am Happy about it.

I am staying with the ‘company’ but moving from the Music Department into the IT department… Bit of a departure from the norm but jolly good for me.

A lot of the difficulties at work are connected to the shrink thing I alluded to earlier. So for me, there has been a lot of angst and decision making concerning whether I stay with this outfit or go looking elsewhere. Crazy thing is, all of the other doors I had pushed on were firmly closed… It was a massive learning curve for me to sit back when everything in me wanted to leave and to let managers above me look over things and rearrange the situation to suit everybody. An exercise in trust.

Phew… It worked.

Spring for a Day

“and now for our regularly scheduled forecasting” – cold. I am in bed with the electric blanket back on after a week without it…

Hmmm, reminds me, this is first bed blog for a while. Lovely!

I have news… Until it is official I cant talk about it. So, this is me not actually talking about it… I am all excited and jiggly. Tell you what, if the General Manager hasn’t discussed it with my boss tomorrow I am going to have to give him a stern talking to; simply because it is very unfair to make a girl keep a secret for this long (5 days).

I have decided that writing a blog is more difficult than it looks. My head is a constant buzz with life and stuff that making a choice about what makes it to cyberspace and what stays in my head is challenging. So I am going to err on the side of economy and go to sleep instead of blogging – I’ll make the hard decisions tomorrow…

PS – I have a new You’ve Got Mail. Decided to name him the same as the old one… so for differentiations sake .. we have YGM (the 1st) and YGM (the 2nd). He (YGM the 2nd) seems very nice actually, we even have shared interests which is a step up from YGM (the 1st). Could actually be a bit promising…

Jack I still haven’t mailed the MOI (men of interest) on the G.O.D.S (Godly Online Dating Site) will take your advice eventually but for now have made the bold move of adding a couple to the favourites list…

PPS I think It wont be long before I need a second web page for all my acronyms…

Tis Time for a List

A list of ways in which it is preferable not to be woken up. – To be Fair, not all of these are from experience …
But Some Are …

1. A Dog Licking Your Face.
2. The Next Door Neighbour’s alarm clock – especially if he has gone on vacation and forgotten to turn it off.
3. Food noises from the living room.
4. A child with a cold sneezing on you.
5. Police Cars screeching to a halt, sirens blaring, outside your apartment building.
6. A Cockroach or a Weta walking across your arm.
7. A Rush of cold air when a window blows open, especially if it is accompanied by rain.

I think the only good way to wake up is to do it uninterrupted, when you have had as much sleep as your body needs. Correct me if I am wrong, but this could be revolutionary. If we all worked once we had woken rather than woken in order to go to work it would be lovely and we would be happier little campers, (or workers) wouldn’t we? At least I know I would…

Expectant

I have two sisters. They Both Rock.

I think a sister is a special thing. No one else remembers you before you were famous and loves you still.

Actually I was never famous, at least not yet. One day I will be the lady who reads the books she wrote to kids in the library – I will consider myself famous then.

Anyway. Did I mention I have two sisters?

Flit is the younger of the two, they are both younger than me by the way, both are married, one has a son, the other may well have one in March.

That’s the big news, Flit is, how shall we put it?

Up the Duff.

I love it. Another niece or nephew. Apparently a nephew, as the room has been painted blue (instead of green …). But I think, a niece. As it is I have two nephews and a niece (our brother has a son and daughter). Another niece would balance things nicely.
