Snowflakes
Jan. 17th, 2006 08:57 amthe world is white today
the world HERE anyway. :)
we got heaps of snow overnight so all is covered in white and it's still snowing gently... the only pity is that we get such grey weather here then. whenever it snows. it's nothing like in the mountains where you often get a bright blue sky, sunshine AND piles of snow.
but it was fun to step out of the house in the morning and leaving my footprints as the first human being in our area - there were paw prints of a cat already. heeheeh. so cute!
other than that i had a bit of a rough night's sleep, same for mum. major weather change caused that i'd say. feel kinda... wrecked. and almost couldn't wake up. gah. :(
miss moanie here wrecks nerves by giving work ever since she arrived here to miss pouty (lol... sorry...), always mentioning (about every 5 minutes) how much work she has but fact is all she does is giving the work on instead of ever getting something done herself. starts to be irritating. especially since she's always like *can i give you something?* - *can i show you something?* etc. and then just sits at her desk waiting until miss pouty has time. DUH???
she's always been *a bit* like that, but ever since she's given in her resignation she's *very much* like that. mind you she's changed a lot since then anyway - i suppose since she knows she'll be leaving she feels like she hasn't the need to be overly friendly with some people, including me. don't get me wrong - she's not unpolite or so, but she tended to get all squeeeee over your new shirt, over something you said, over WHATEVER and now she suddenly ignores certain people, doesn't even go to lunch with them, etc.
i don't mind as i was getting very fed up with her very shallow (is that a word?) behaviour. it's just fascinating how *extremely* shallow a person can be.
anyway...
yesterday...
had a chinese lunch as the third female colleague of our team and me got invited by 2 sales reps - which pissed off pouty as she wasn't invited and that's another long blah story and i'm just not going there as else you'd fall asleep reading this. let's say it's all rather cheap tv soap stuff. sigh.
lunch was ok, restaurant was expensive but not very special at all - but edible. ;) and we chatted a bit and that was that.
one of those 2 guys i don't know well, of the other one i know to be very wary as he tends to use people and talk behind their backs and so on. if a man can have a slight bitchy behaviour - that would be him.
work was ok, lots came in in the afternoon so i'm busy today.
got home late cause of the long lunch and then got some letter writing done as well as my training. packed some printed out photos for Kaytee as she'd been waiting for them for a while now...
mum was still feeling rather sick. i think she had a bug first and then those major weather changes were getting her. i hope she'll be better today as she'll be back at work tomorrow. :( poor her!
and else... i'm looking for some info about Scotland... the touristic stuff and the non-touristic stuff... i'd always wanted to visit there someday and figured out maybe it would be a good idea to start watching out for some info at some point - else i'll never make it to there. ;)
i had a look in the second hand shop on saturday but didn't find anything book-wise.
i got a booklet about Wales which was almost for free. got it cause i thought oh well, don't know anything about Wales, might as well read a bit. *lol*
talking about second hand shops and books in specific... Kaytee definitely beat me to this one. she's just mentioned (emailed) that she got 17 books for £2 only. DUH-HUH?????? i'm off to pout now. ;)))
or better said i'm off to sleep.
i'm feeling so exhausted. bugger. :(
