lolabobsI am feeling very mellow... this may be because I have Time Off. Time Off is very good, and definitely deserves the capitalisation. I have only Fri and Mon, but this is a very good Good Thing and shall be celebrated... mainly I shall celebrate it by not going to work. This is A Plan that I think will work very well.
My New Years resolution involved reading a book a week. I have read 11 books so far this year. I boast about this and pretend that it makes me win at resolutions in the hope that I can skim over all the others that I have FAILED at. I shall hum whenever they are mentioned and pretend I can't hear.
Work is so much more relaxed now there's just one g! - the other is still here of course, just not in my direct space. I like him, just not all the time, he's so chaotic and attention seeking and needy.... and keeps cocking up at work.... only a little thing today - ie going to Norwich and then home when it's his turn to lock up....
spent the day talking with G ( how to diferentiate? Nice G!) inbetween work of course (!)
An article in a newspaper today bemoaning the fact that the advertisement standards people allowed an advert showing two men kiss, whilst banning an advert with children playing conkers wearing goggles. The Standards agency guidelines explained that it was because the conker ad was making a political statement which is disallowed, whilst the other was just a gay 'peck' within context, but the paper was all "political correctness gone mad" and "hidden agenda" about it. Showed Nice G the article, expecting him to mock along with me, and he just saw the illustrative photos and reacted with "eurgh". He did then go on to agree with me regarding the content, and acknowledged that it was in part a knee jerk reaction, at great pains to point out non homophobia, but even so... (I should have directed him to a few boytouching communities!)
Neighbours!! Yay!!
My posts are repetitive... work, neighbours,.. hmm.
I dreamt about a 4foot long eyelash last night. There was no lickage. how sad.
