You Are 44% Spoiled

You're a little spoiled, but you're not spoiled rotten. You love to be showered with gifts and affection, but you're good at keeping your demands to a minimum!

Current Mood: complacent

I have been pretty crap at commenting on people's LJs recently, but I have been keeping up with your entries.  So, we all know that life can be shit even at the best of times but it seems that there are quite a few shitty things going on for you guys at the moment.

This is just for me to say that I am thinking of you all and I send you huge virtual *hugs*.

I'd love to write something really inappropriate to make you all laugh, but I can't think of one, so sorry!  Maybe I will just find a funny quote...

This 3-year-old kid is home alone, and a salesman comes to the door. The kid answers, and he’s got a porno in one hand, a cigar in one hand and a bottle of J.D. The salesman goes, “Hi, little boy, are your parents home?” The kid goes, “What the fuck do you think?”

So yesterday was my last day at the Thistle and today I started my new job. It's a bit scary, to be honest, and I feel like I've been a bit overwhelmed by information. Having said that, I think I'm going to be really happy here. Little things are a bit weird, like the fact that I am writing this from my desk where I am having lunch.

I also found out today that one of the other girls is leaving so it means that I'm going to have to take over a bit of her work really quite soon - ie I'm going to have to look after recruiting temp positions so I'll be having a bit of a consultant role. That's a bit sooner than I thought it would be. A lot sooner than I thought it would be.

I just feel total relief at the fact that I have left the Thistle. It was so bad, it just made me feel really down but I also felt total rage whenever I was behind the desk, with myself, with everyone I worked with and with every guest that walked through the door. What was really bizarre was when I left at the end of the day I could totally walk away and even though I thought I'd be in a foul mood for the whole day, I would leave and forget about it and be fine.

Anyway, au revoir Thistle. Thank the lord!

I had such a good day yesterday - I really did. Firstly meeting with a bunch of NF people, which was hilarious and bloody marvellous, if only for the fact that for a change I wasn't the only smoker there! Was great to meet people I've not met before and also to see those I have again.

I am also sooooooooooooooo happy to see my friend again, who I haven't seen for two months. And even though I'm in east London and I was a little scared, actually it's cool because get this, she has a stunning view from her roof and also from next to her local pub. We left the pub yesterday, which I was vaguely aware is on the river front but as you walk out and look to your right, Tower Bridge is literally right in front of you and feels like it's in touching distance, as is the Guerkin building and last night with it all lit up it was just breath taking.

Anyway, we had such a wicked time catching up properly about everything, about our lovely new jobs and also she bought me what can only be described as the perfect Liz present - the book A Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down. I've only read a few pages but it's hilarious and also perfect, obviously, because it details the overwhelming joys of tea.

Anyhoo - London traffic et cetera woke me up earlier than I hoped so I'm going to try and doze for a little while. The Eye and Theatre later! Woohoo!

#Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, that I love London so...#

Alla & Andrew are Proud to Announce the Birth of their Child, Elizabeth, on January 1, 1987.

Unfortunately, Elizabeth is the reincarnation of a goat.

Alla & Andrew are terribly sorry.

Exciting news my special Neighbours friends - I got the job I went for. So here's the drill: I basically go in as administrator/researcher/general dogsbody. They offered me extra money because I'm that good and woohoo - looks like I'm going to be recruitment consultant. Having said that, I might actually hate it. But hopefully not! When Ali (the chick from Goddard Gadd) called and told me, I was jumping around generally gabbling but mainly it was comments like, 'Really? Oh my god. I can't believe. This is amazing. I'm so excited. I just... thank you. Thank you so much.' Then I realised how OTT I was being and said something along the lines of, 'Sorry, gosh, I'm supposed to be mature, but uh, yes, that's great.' I was at work at the time and I'd had a pretty crappy start to the day so it was a feeling of total elation that I was going to be getting out. I basically ran around the entire hotel to tell them I was offski.

The only thing is, I thought my notice period was a week, so I was really excited. It's actually four. In my resignation letter I asked to be released because I don't think it's helpful to anyone for me to be kept there for so long.

I just can't believe it, I'm so excited about this. It's the fact that I've got an opportunity with an amazing company to get some brilliant experience before I go to uni. It also means that I can do exactly what I want at uni without thinking, 'Ooh, what is a potential employee going to think about my degree? What about experience? Aren't I just another one in a long line?' Et cetera, et cetera.

Just want to thank Miriam again for her fab advice and dealing with my pre-interview nerves. :)

And in other, brief news, I have current internet problems/computer problems and have therefore barely been on this week. I intend to catch up a LOT later this evening. And also to write this week's summary and also to actually watch this week's Neighbours. Nightmare!

You Are 4% Shy

You aren't shy at all, in fact, you're probably quite outgoing. You are comfortable in almost any social situation, no matter how difficult.

I seem to be on a bit of an LJ thing at the moment, and I've even started another one elizarants - so that I can rant.  No rants so far, but there are many waiting in the wings!
