A wave of panic is engulfing my existence.
Things to do for wedding before tomorrow morning:
• Buy dress
• Finish off quiz
• Prepare corny jokes for MC
• Take non existent annual leave
• Finish off reports/presentations at work.

Yup talk about ultimate preparation.

Things that made me chuckle (even in my state of anarchy) on the way from Town Hall to work:

• These bunch of old ladies that walked in a perfect line spanning the width of the pathway, meaning that NOBODY could overtake them. They were just going along their merry way not realising the chaos they were creating. Seeing as there was a traffic jam in front of me, I decided to stop off and grab coffee from my fave coffee shop. After the brief sojourn I continued to walk to work and whom shall I bump into again but the old ladies. I swear they must have only clocked up 5 metres in that 10 minute period. Is that the perfect example of the term 'decrepit' or what!

• A young child (we won't mention the fact that he was Asian) smiling gleefully because he found a Telegraph Mirror in the rubbish bin - hoorah! Geepers, maybe if it was The Australian I'd get a bit excited but the Telegraph Mirror?!? That's the newspaper version of Today Tonight *shiver*

• Coffee from my fave coffee shop - they know exactly what I want every morning. Talk about personal service.

• One of the ladies in my group at work. She's so funny. She was explaining to me this morning that she is too hammered to go through some work related material with me. I ain't complaining.

Chuckle over, back to reality.

N.B
I have decided that one of my favourite (if not the favourite) christmas song is 'Winter Wonderland'.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
in the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
we're happy tonight,
walking in a winter wonderland.

This is actually the first free moment I've had at work where I am able to bludge. So what do I do? Blog. Talk about maximisation of free time.
I seriously think my head has increased in size and volume. There is no other possible explanation as to WHY my damn neck is aching constantly.
Eh, at least my thighs and ass are not bearing the full brunt.

Let's see, yes Hen's Night. Here is a quick summation:
• High tea - yeah there was nothing very low about the whole event. Chairs were high, food came in a high trolley thingy, price was high (har), real tea leave though.
• Red veil, pink shoes, fish neck stockings, wild hair, wild makeup, red tutu = devil bride. You were quite a sight YDG!
• Kobe Jones involved firemen, red lights, sake, soft shelled crab.
• I had horns! Bad idea because everybody played with them. Or is that a good thing?
• Bungalow 8 - too many friendly people watching the rugby, and some that were
playing with my horns.
• Shellbourne - oh the horror of retro and wailing to John Farnham.
• Star City - some people get too excited about winning $5.
• Kings Cross and the nightmare of HE-SHE, now named S/HEena
• Harrys - the ever reliable peas, mash and pie.
• Yum Cha - tripe, need I say more?

And the count down begins. The Leo-Goh wedding happens in 4 days and I don't even have enough leave hours to take a day off.
Need mental health!

ok short & concise entry (says a person who could never keep within word limits) before I have to flee to Fiona's Hens Day-Night-and-Day extravaganza.
It has been a hectic month since the last entry, and I'm afraid the next couple of weeks will follow the same suit.
I am having trouble sleeping lately. I am physically and mentally exhuasted but yet have to resort to contemplating why I dreamt I was Sandy in "Grease" last week because I just can't get any R.E.M! Throw me a freakin' bone.

Moving along, I have since started my new job at Telstra. I have honestly learnt more in the last 2 weeks than I have in the past year. My manager is uber friendly and really does take care of me. He is one very bright man and that scares me to bits.
Last day at Deloitte (dot) was fantastic and memorable. Should really thank Michelle for organising the bulk of the events that day. Oh plus I got a Wallabies football from my team! (because I am a great sport ... hey I didnt' say it).

Damn I have to catch the train now. Ya'll have to just wait another 4 weeks until the next update. What a shame hey.

Outtie ...
