Goodies

late entry today cause of ack work.
mmmh, just had lunch... zucchetti with a bit of ham-like meat, baked in a creamy sauce with a bit of soy sauce within. yumyum! :9

but on the brighter side - we're back at +1°C today which feels almost like warm spring compared to the past few days! heaven!!! and we have a bit of snow again. :)

irish dance yesterday was... em, it was good, but we were very few there.
one of 2 who have biggest problems to learn and catch up didn't come and obviously won't come next time, either. *no comment*
one is very ill - having caught scarlet fever (duh!).
one had announced she wouldn't come but she's ok with the steps.
so...
made us being 4 while mum had to take breaks from time to time...
so we trained single steps of the choreographies and made them into perfection (or so ;))).
after training shopped some food and then went home all exhausted and just read a bit and went to sleep.

the goodie thing was when i got home and found i'd received 2 packages from friends - one's from Catriona - a very belated birthday pressie (oooooooh! absolutely unexpected! aw!) - book *The Moonstone* by Wilkie Collins...
the other one's from Holly - a small fairy-themed package. aw. feeling so spoilt. i got a little fairy booklet, a small book, glitter glue, a special crystal stone and a bookmark with a wolf. *beams*
i've just now emailed both hugest thank yous. i know Holly's not doing well these days. her grandfather died. :(((

as for today...
work, work, work...
some ack meeting soon. gah! the guy who's organizing it sounded oh-so-hyper about that *fab meeting* we'll all have. makes you want to kick him. it's supposed to be about some new scanning system that shouldn't even be done by our teams. DUH???

Daniela emailed me yesterday a huge report about her time in Paris and the two Mylène Farmer concerts!!! it sounds SO amazing! her concerts are always very unusual and quite a show and you basically never know what to expect. plus she usually adds some pretty *deep* stuff, too, like this time there was some 20 minutes film at the beginning which was very symbolically made , etc. those who know her lyrics might know what i mean. my French isn't exactly good, but i can somewhat translate... but... uh... i usually fail at her lyrics. a French epal once told me even she mostly doesn't understand them all. ;)
if Mylène will be touring again some time (it might take years, she usually takes quite some breaks) i definitely want to go, too. her works have always impressed me very much, ever since the 80s when i saw those endless videoclips of hers on MTV...

ok, i'm officially going to strangle pouty. she's in her singing-bits-of-songs again. gosh, sing the whole song or at least whole parts of it but not single words here and then wailing them out! has anyone got an old smelly sock i could stuff into her mouth???

oh MY!
you should have been there.
you all would have gloriously enjoyed yourself.
course with two fellows who had to explain a new scanning system to us - basically had to explain to us what WE had to do, but then mister oh-so-gloriously-important took over and while he was standing there or basically *hanging* in his chair, saying everything about 150 times (a *normal* person would have needed... say... 15 minutes to do the whole thing... he had planned 1 hour and made it 1.5!), looking all smug and treating us as if we're complete idiots (goodness, it's SCANNING only!!!) and saying over and over again how important that team is, we had A LOT to do NOT to burst out laughing.
he was SO ridiculous!!!
worse... pouty knows him and says he's always like that. absolutely full of himself and just so eeeeeeeeeeek!
what an idiot!
we've spent now over half an hour making jokes about the whole thing and the good thing now is that we've been amusing us amazingly. *lol*
the other guy's kinda weird but at least behaves somewhat normally - and thanks to Alex and him we got out of the whole thing after those 1.5 hours! Alex said we had another meeting soon (which mister idiot couldn't care about) and the other one stressed we had to leave. *rolls eyes*
and anyway - it was the other one's course and not the idiot one's but he just took over...

imagine someone explaining scanning to you as if you were plain dumb...
*and then you hand it over to these people here... like... see the papers i have here?* - holds papers and dramatically hands them over to colleague
*and now she writes a title for them and puts them in here... that's the scanner* - dramatic break
AND SO ON!

basically idiot works in a team we've always used to have some trouble with. they refused doing some work which IS their work and they simply refused to learn it. imagine. says it all.
mwahahah.
oh, and he loves using special words, especially throwing in english ones - cause that sounds so important.
only he uses them wrongly. mwahahahahah!!!
