Boy - did my last time sheet suck
- I think I worked about 30 hours for the entire fortnight.
I'm never going to get to the UK at this rate. I guess
this sad and sorry total wasn't helped by the fact that
I took almost all of the last week off. We went up to country
NSW to stay with my Grandparents for a weekend of family catch-ups
and then Big-P, Lil'Bro, Lil'Bro's loverly
GF went on up to Sydney
for a couple of days, where Lil'Bro's GF has very
nice apartment. She had to work but the three of us did Sydney
things like catching a ferry across the harbour, walking along
the beach, eating a lot of sushi, looking in horror at the
massive development underway for the 2000 Olympics.. etc.
I really like Sydney - it feels completely
different from Melbourne. It must be the ever present humidity
due to the Harbour, and the fact that there are lots of little
hills and outcrops of rocks where you can't build so
you may as well grow a tree or some ferns. Of course, Lil'Bro's
GF lives in a pretty nice part of town, which only a surgeon's
wage could afford, but we went over to visit a friend of mine
who lives over in the student-area and that was also extremely
cool. The only problem is I was so completely disoriented
- no nice road grid like Melbourne has. It's all curvey
roads and bridges.
But here I am - back at the office.
I've finally finished doing a bunch of web design mock-ups
for a client who said he wanted to do something "really different"
but it's turned out, after presenting him with a bunch
of designs that looked pretty amazing (IMHO!) and that I worked
my butt off on, that his "really different" is actually really,
really boring. Ho-well - when am I going to learn not to get
so emotionally involved in my work? It's damn exhausting.
Tonight Special-K and Small are coming
over for dinner. We're celebrating Big-P's birthday
(31 last Tuesday) infront of Futurama and That 70's Show,
plus Buffy repeats. This is the second in series of celebrations.
Last night we went out for yummy dinner with Ma and Pa and
Lil'Bro and Saturday we're having a dinner party.
Three vegetarian courses - what am I going to cook? I'm
thinking maybe some kind of chilled soup for entrée (which
I can make in the morning) and maybe something like stewed
pears for dessert but what about for main course?… hmmm.
Happily I found the Moosewood cook books thismorning which
have been missing since the move and also my all time fave
- Charmaine Solomon's awesome asian cookbook. I should
add Cooking with Korma to my Xmas list. Yummmm.
I ordered some CDs from Chaos
Music yesterday and one had already turned up at my post
box this morning! Talk about prompt service. Pity it was the
one I had picked out as a Xmas present for Lil Bro (Powderfinger's
Internationalist) and not any of the ones I'd picked
for me.
