Christmas Spirit

Is it me or is it still early to be sending cards and buying presents. And yet I have met people who have bought all of theirs and are thus all ready for the festive season. I'm not judging them. No really. I'm not.

So I've survived the party season so far without making too much of a fool out of myself. I was a little worried when last weekend's team meal night out included the new German student in our department who, I must admit I have a little crush on. Me and Air Hostess are constantly competeing to get in his "good books" but knowing my luck with men, she has a very good chance indeed.

Talking of Air Hostesses, I happened to meet up with an old friend last week. She is brilliant and apparently she has a Myspace. Check it. Its very her.

No Dolly quote this week.

Instead, here is an Irish ditty that I like;

So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee

***

Do you ever thank your partner for all they've done for you during the year?

I feel very alive at the moment. Long may it last.

Don't EVEN get me started

So it was our works do last Friday night (see the Fairy). I plucked up the courage to proposition someone
and the cheeky bastard turned me down. I couldn't believe I'd done it
because this guy isn't exactly Brad Pitt but what surprised me the next
morning was how little I was bothered by it. Not mortified at all.

Work
is so so frustrating at the moment. Mainly its due to the combination
of a heavy workload and the apparent lack of any real management
direction. And then my partner in crime at work, Rosebud, handed in her
notice today. I'll be a lost soul in January but maybe it will give me
theimpetus I need to finally give myself a kick up the arse and get a real job. What job, is another question. Suggestions welcomed.

Today's Dolly quote is;

They let your dream
Just a' watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away

Dolly gets it. She always has.
