This has basically been my afternoons entertainment. Which when you consider I WAS going to watch Glee (Original Songs) AGAIN but this totally stole that away. I think that tells you how awesome this is!

Dear Manager G.
You suck. Don't expect me to offer to help out next time the place is screwed. You had a month to sort out some sort of cover for me today. I don't ask much, cover for my breaks so I can sit down, go to the bathroom, leave the freaking department for a few moments is all I wish for. I don't mind working on my own, the voices in my head provide me with entertainment and company (today they were singing one of the songs from next week's Glee). But not being able to leave my department from before 9am until gone 2pm is just MEAN.
So I guess this was one of your "I'm not in so I don't care" moments. I'm going to be having a lot more of them coming up.
No love. No likey.
Jo.

Dear Colleague J.
You also suck. Leaving me a "the oven needs cleaning, sorry" note is not going to make me like you any more than I already don't. You KNOW I have issues getting down to that oven at the best of times, but right now. Yeah, it's just not going to happen. So, like, TOUGH. I don't freaking care. SO glad I don't have to work with you for a week.
Also no lovey or likey.
Jo.

Dear other Colleague J.
You don't suck. I'm really glad I'm working with you this week and we don't have to deal with lazy J. I promise I will not be like her and get my hands into the washing up (at least until you elbow me out of the way).
Much lovey and likey.
Jo.

Yeah, that sums my weekend up. I HURT right now.

___

The situation in Japan continues to be terrifying, I think right now for Dancing on Ice is the first time we've had the telly on something that isn't Sky News since Friday morning.

___

ONE WEEK until I come out of hibernation... by that I mean there will be motorsport on. Next week GP2 Asia (in Imola???), WTCC (Curitiba, Brazil) AND MotoGP (Qatar). ALL on one day. ALL OF THEM. And initial indications are that nothing is going to clash. Ignore that there will likely be a DoI clash, I REALLY don't care about that right now!

No change there then.

Or to put it better.

OW.

Maybe slightly a little bit tripped over my own foot/a kerb on the way home and went FLYING. OF COURSE I landed fully on my bad knee (for the record that means slightly more bad than the other one). It's now slightly* bruised and very** painful.

I didn't cry til I got home. Unless you count a couple of choked back sobs.

Stairs are an issue. Heck SITTING is an issue.

Want to cry.

*understatement
**even more of an understatement.

For once I might be wishing the Colleague Circle meeting drags on a bit tomorrow.

Brief work moan first, before a vague update.
I swear I work with some of the laziest people in the world. And that's coming from me - not exactly famed for my speedy movement most of the time!

Friday SUCKED. We got our bonus for the year (pretty decent actually, after Mr Taxman and Mr National Insurancce man took their shares of course!) so we did a free buffet lunch for everyone. Buffet lunches are CRAP. Started the day pissed off because on Wednesday one of my ladies suggested she make cakes for the buffet. I said a RESOUNDING no. Because I know how much time she spends faffing when she makes cakes. So of course when I went in on Friday after my day off there was a huge batch of cakes in the cupboard waiting for her to ice them.
So that was like an HOUR of work for her. I was NOT impressed.
It went pretty well in the end, but could have done with her doing some more useful stuff for that hour!

Weekend. Worked. Sucked.
High point of the weekend was the reveals for the kurt_blaine Kiss Kiss exchange. Which reminds me I need to go and reply to comments and post to beaten_muse.

Sunday especially, not with the usual girl I work with on a Sunday. The girl in is the mentioned lazy girl. I swear I would have gotten more done over the day on my own than I did with her in.

Monday, we got heaps done at work. The change of having two people in who work I guess!

Yesterday was day off. Went over to Reading. Eventually. Got the bus to town and we had missed the bone rattler to Reading. So debated for a while and ended wandering to the station and got the train to Reading! Did some shopping (where I got pretty clothes. And Sabrina DVD's... I'm so cool!) and got the Bus home!
(Only problem with bone rattlering home is neither of us can walk when the bus eventually makes it to our road!)

And now off to posting fic! Hmm, where is it?

It always seems such a good idea at the time but "got up" at 4:30am to obtain and watch Glee before I went to work this morning. Hit the wall a few hours ago. Need a re-watch to fully have an opinion on the episode, but I *think* I largely enjoyed it. It'll be interesting to see where things go from there (and of course by that I mean for my favourite ship).

Day off tomorrow and we are off to the theatre. To see We Will Rock You. Haven't seen it since, I think, 2004 so it'll be nice to see it again!

So. I kind of recorded the Pro Performance on Dancing on Ice last night.

Okay. I kind of recorded Rachel Tucker and have yet to pay the skaters any attention at all.

DaViD - when on DVDR mode plays the videos in a little window if you do nothing... so it's just on endless repeat.

Perfect soundtrack as background to watching the latest shit storm unravel on kurt_blaine - I love them all dearly, but this is the general theme...

Spoiler gets posted.

General OMGWTFBBQ WHY CAN'T KURT BE HAPPY DON'T SCREW WITH US RM reaction (usually numbering into the 1000's of comments)

Contradicting spoiler gets posted.

Everyone calms the fuck down. A bit.

Interspersed with "how reliable is this source?" and "Chris/Ryan/Darren be trolling" comments.

Episode happens.

General theme of "Everything is Klaine and nothing hurts"

**
It's faintly hilarious. At least this one has had pretty pictures in it as well! I honestly adore the comm but OMG at the occasional drama!

In other news. Happy Valentines/Bolero/TEENAGE DREAM day dudes.
(And sorta n'awwwww, apparently a guy at work sort of likes me. He's a wee sweetheart, but I'm not sure I'd see him that way. Still, flattered and all that.)

So, what's been going on then?

Last Thursday was Hairspray with Mum, lizbuf and meeshy in Woking. A LOT better than I was expecting to be honest. We had awesome seats and it was very entertaining and fun. Of course there were moments we broke - the guy playing Link also played Troy in HSM2 on tour and brought across a whole heap of mannerisms that amused me and lizbuf no end.

Friday was back at work, boo and all that.

Saturday and Sunday were pretty much totally lost to my kurt_blaine fic exchange submission. But more on that later!

Monday, ahh sweet sweet holiday times! Monday we went up to London for an RJ Anderson book signing. Which was fantastic, because she is utterly lovely. Honestly, if you life YA fantasy stuff check her books (Knife, Rebel and Arrow so far) they are brilliant. Kick ass Fairies! After that we wandered, checked out China Town (how had mum never been round there) and I took a trip to Cyber Candy! And then stayed up to 1:40am working on the kurt_blaine fic!

Tuesday we decided on a trip down to Southampton, because we hadn't been for a while. Had glorious fish and chips at Harry Ramsdens and walked round all the shops in the world. And got more sweets! Then stayed up to 1:15am to finish the kurt_blaine fic.

Wednesday, aka today. Back up to London - am seriously spending most of this week off on a train. This time we were, no surprise, off to see Wicked :D
Last week before cast change, wanted to see it once more before that. Insanely small crowd today, but my GOD what a show. I swear Rachel Tucker gets better EVERY time we see her. Which is depressing given she was utterly phenomenal the first time but hey. We were sat right up the front but in the centre block for the first time and the seats were damn near perfect (third row) - noticed so much more than we have before sitting to the left of the stage. Comedy moment at the end of the first act - the curtain was slow to come down so Rachel was up waving at people while she waited
I think I'm going to miss Lee Mead as Fiyero. Won't miss being surrounded by people who only want to see the show because Lee Mead is in it - the woman next to mum today was trying to strike up conversation about Joseph and looked all confused when we said we hadn't seen it OR the TV show thingy. TOTALLY going to miss George Ure as Boq, have totally adored him (didn't like the alternative Boq we had in November).
But yeah, as long as Rachel Tucker is there I think I can guarantee future visits ;o)

Tomorrow we were planning a visit to IoW zoo... but it's closed, so changing plans!

I'VE DONE IT! Just shy of 5000 words.

Going to pass out now mmmmm'kay.
