Oh the Pain, Oh the Humiliation...AKA - What Jasmin Did Tonight...

[mr_booboo]

After a traumatic work training session today, I went to pick up special_trille. We were supposed to go to Sunset to see Peter Pan, but she completely bailed.

*cough*

*cough*

special_trille: I so sick. I is not wanting to go. So cold... *cough*

I'd believe it more if special_trille wasn't up til the wee hours of the morning LJing the night before.

I'm so messing with you. She looked like crap and was very sickly. Case in point:

Me, wearing a red shirt. Am hot and stinky. Decided to change into my David Bowie T-Shirt. Am sitting right next to The Trille on the couch. Take of my red shirt, put on my blue shirt. I turn to her and...

Me: What happened to my bag?
The Trille: Oh, I moved it so I could sit down.
Me: Pass me the bag please. Want to put my shirt away.
The Trille: Oh, OK.

5 minutes later...

The Trille: Hey, you've got a new shirt on. When did this happen?

At any rate, I make it to Burswood, but haunted_attics is already inside, setting up a place for us. I walk around like a headless chook searching for her and am about to call her mobile when I notice a familiar shaped blob. I call her name and she's all: "Oh, I didn't see you there."

This unfortunately sets the tone for the rest of the evening.

Me: I'm thirsty.
haunted_attics: Oops, I forgot to bring water.
Me: 'So Kay. I'll go buy a drink. Want anything.
haunted_attics: Nope, I'm fine. I have my coffee.

Five minutes later, have lost my way in the dark.

Me: Michelle? Shell? Mish? *whimpers pathetically*
haunted_attics: Over here.
Me: Oh, good. Thank God!

An hour into the movie...

Me: Need to go pee.
haunted_attics: Toilet's outside on the right.
Me: OK.

Five minutes later...

Me: Oh shit...I'n never going to find her...

Me randomly wandering around the place for a good 10 minutes. Finally give up and decided to just walk in the middle and block the screen, waiting to be claimed.

Me: I'm so sorry. I can't find my spot.
Complete Stranger No. 1: I think you're back that way.
Me: Oh, thanks. La la la la la...Oh, sorry, I'm lost. I'm trying to find my spot.
Complete Stranger No. 2: That's OK. I think it's back a little to further and to the right.
Me: Ta.

Another few minutes...

Complete Stranger No. 3 & 4: Hey, it's OK little lost girl, you're our neighbour. You sit just over there.
Me: *relieved* Thanks.

Climb over my lovely neighbours and see haunted_attics rolling on the blanket laughing uncontrollably.
haunted_attics: So, did you meet any new friends?

You'd think after seeing me walking around like a complete idiot, she's at least call me, but no, she just watches. Apparently, she claims to have yelled out my name, but I doubt that. She was to busy laughing for any Jasmin rescuing to be done.

Anyway, movie: fun. Was too tired to go to Dani's party. I'm such a terrible friend.

Below is a post from 2 weeks ago that I started but was too lazy to finish. Basically, it's about a meeting that was long and tedious and how I got yelled at constantly that entire day. Unfortunately, I never finished the tale, so briefly:

Friday: Meeting - crap. Went to meet up with ascetic_hedony but missed him as he was waiting one side of the road, me on the other side. Went to sex shop to buy dog collar and show him my riding crop. Went to pharmacy and got yelled at for trying on cheap $2 nail polish. Went for ice cream.

Saturday: Can't remember, it was 2 weeks ago.

Sunday: Naughty or nice party, AKA Jen's 40th. Went to Woman to Woman for haunted_attics' birthday. Lovely. Very much liked Libby Hammer and Natalie Gillespi (sp?).

Last Friday: Dinner with Sue and The Trille, and then drinks with Sue and Viviane. Very expensive night. Ate way too much.

Last Sat: Work and then over to haunted_attics' place to watch Firefly. Am sooooo in love with Firefly. Love all the major characters, which is very rare. Love all the het couplings.

Last Sunday: Quiz and then more Firefly.

Last Tuesday: Enterprise watching over at sarren's. Enjoyable.

So, am up to date, and hopefully will not let things get so bad in the future.

Meanwhile, back to me wenching on about Friday a fortnight ago:

Friday:

So, I had every intentions of getting quite a bit of work done today. I was just getting into it when I was told we had a meeting for all HR/IT Corporate Services staff. In fact, I was busy and not chatty or disrupting anyone for two whole hours. Suddenely, I hear everyone telling me to hurry to the meeting. I'm all: "Is it compulsory?"

My immediate boss tells me that I have to be at this meeting as it is important. Let me tell you how important it was.

Convenor Let me do a 10 minute introduction and tell you nothing else. Oh, we have 4 other speakers.
Speakker 1: I really have nothing to say. Let me just spend half an hour "updating" you on what we've been doing since our last meeting - which is nothing. Oh, OK. Then let me just waste another 15 minutes of your valuable time and my own telling you lies about how wonderful you all are and how effective and efficient we are even though we are understaffed, overworked and completely falling apart by the seams. Questions? No? Yay, I get to leave because I'm important but you all have to stay. Hahahahahaha....
Speaker 2: Let me parrot everything Speaker 1 has just said in about the same amount of time, except I'm going to use different words and say it my way. Questions? No? Good. I too am very important and am allowed to leave.
Speaker 3: I am highly amusing but you will find me difficult to understand so pay attention. I'm here to provide you with encouragement and whisper words of joy and love. Rainbows. Puppies. Fun. Yes, I know, it's not really relevant, but isn't my speech way more interesting than the other two? Questions? No? Great. On to Speaker 4.
Speaker 4: Hey hey people. I am the main event. Me, I am the one you've all been waiting for. I will now tell you what we've all decided since December. Lots and lots of people are going to lose their jobs, but don't worry, the system will be better. We're taking up about 10 times more work, getting rid of more people, but aren't we clever, we've found a way of cutting costs and yet we plan to be more efficient. Unfortunately, we haven't worked out all the glitches yet...or for that matter how we're going to accomplish that. We're going to mess with all of you and 2 other clusters because we're afraid to touch Health and Education. They're very big and messy and scarey. But don't worry, we still have another 15 months before implementation. Questions?

Yeah, so that's about it.

Signing off,

Me.

PS, not really horny. Just wanted to see the icon.

::indignant huffing:: I was very sympathetic to your plight, and concerned about you.

I called out your name many many times and was waving my hand in the air for *ages*.

How do you think those people knew where to direct you?

I held off that giggle fit for an heroic amount of time I'll have you know. :P

LIES! COMPLETE AND UTTER LIES!

[mr-booboo.livejournal.com]

There was no plighty sympathy, there was only much mocking!

You just wait little girl...I'll get you my pretty....
