No drama this time

04 Oct 2009

I think the recession is really over and I would of had a job weeks ago if it wasn’t for minor irritating details.  But huzzah, I am again waitressing and even in daylight hours, which is always a bonus.  Surprising I got the job really as the trial shift was a minor disaster.  It started [...]

Last day of my first job in Londontown

30 Jan 2009

And I’m appropriatly hungover for it.  I’m sitting here quietly ignoring all the work I vowed to finish before I left and marveling at the enormous task left for the new girl who is replacing me.  Not only is she joining a division that has had 4 people start and leave in the last 2 [...]

Hell yea, 2009

15 Jan 2009

Whoa I haven’t looked at this site for a long time.  I logged in and saw 24 COMMENTS and got very excited.  I live for comments.  Except they were all jibberish and involved viagra.  Sad cake. I think the reason I haven’t been writing is because my life sorta sucks right now.  Well, it doesn’t, [...]

I want to make a fort under my desk

14 Nov 2008

The good about today is that, even though I’m hungover at work, I’m not the only one, everyone else is too. I might actually still be drunk, jury is still out on that one.  Work function, awards thingy last night. At least I was only 20 minutes late this morning, compared to everyone else who [...]

Well, since you put it that way…

05 Aug 2008

Just a quick interruption to mah Romania trip blogs: Every day, every hour at work, I get a call from someone trying to sell our company stuff. Everything from furniture to mailing labels. Usually I’m polite, I know their job sucks. I have had one screaming match, in which we took turns on hanging up [...]

Hrm

24 Jun 2008

It’s just occurred to me that I spend my whole day at work lying to people. I screen calls for the rest of the office and am always lying to their customers about where they are or what they’re doing. Even within the office I’m lying to people about other peoples whereabouts. Never trust the [...]

We'll pin them up on the noticeboard so you can claim them

02 Mar 2008

“Someone put their knickers in the recycling bin” Nat told me. We rushed into Zaras office for a group discussion. Was there seriously underwear in the recycling bin? Why would they put it in the recycling bin? Why not the NORMAL trashbin that people don’t look in? Why didn’t they just take them home? WHY [...]

Office Pets

07 Feb 2008

Sometime in April, work is losing both Georgie and Zara and probably me to the adventures of the world outside New Zealand. Zara’s going to be heading off to South America and me and Georgie are looking at London which is all very exciting. To replace us, Zara brought Nat some tadpoles. They are SO [...]

Blocking Myspace and Bebo – the Latest Craze to hit the Working World (and how I got around it)

20 Aug 2007

Sometime last week, we realised that no one could access Bebo. Soon enough I discovered Myspace was also blocked. Then Facebook. Naturally this sent a widespread panic throughout the office. How dare they increase our productivity? How will we look at photos of ourselves from the weekend? Since I’m the only one at work with [...]

Girlified

21 May 2007

So I was ambushed the other day.  Casually walked into Georgie’s office to be confronted by Dad and Georgie’s boss. “You have a meeting tomorrow. What are you going to wear?” “Um I dunno, my jeans I guess” “THAT’S IT. ‘Georgie’s Boss’! Take my credit card and take her shopping” *cheers from Georgie’s Boss* I [...]
