June in review

Whoops, I seemed to have neglected to post for all of June. Hmm. Well don't worry, it's not like you missed anything ground breaking. I worked...bf came home from NZ for good - did you already know that? I forget - you can blame that on the fact that I'm properly sick for the first time in over a year. Being sick is such a waste of time. Weekends are the only times I can meet up with people properly, but since I've been resting this weekend and last weekend, I've had to cancel most of my priorly planned social engagements. (Is "priorly" even a word? I can't tell anymore. I work in a place where words like "operationalising" and "potentiality" are bandied around like they are real words. They weren't last time I checked the English language.)

Had our division's End of Financial Year party last night, which I thought would be way more fun than it actually was. For starters, since I'm sick, I really didn't feel like socialising with anyone. This causes problems, because, in the work environment, you really don't want to stick out like a sore thumb sitting by yourself when everyone else is mingling, lest this be perceived as a habit and you become a pariah at all future social events. Actually, the only reason this might have been perceived as a habit is because yesterday afternoon we also had a division lunch where I also didn't feel like talking to anyone and sat there clutching my drink (green tea) for dear life. AND on top of all that, the newly minted partner (who makes jokes about things no one else would think of making jokes about - and he gets away with it) was paying myself and the other grad out for always sitting together and implying we didn't talk to anyone else, so I was making not-so-valiant attempts (but attempts all the same) at being light-hearted and humourous. So much effort. AND on top of that, I was feeling a bit anti-work to begin with. Anyway, suffice to say, it wasn't that fun.

Bf and I also celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Wednesday, which he marked by sending me a big box of long-stemmed roses. I was pleasantly surprised when they actually had a fragrance! (You know florist roses these days...smell like diddly squat). We're going to dinner at Marque tonight for the degustation. I was reading eatability reviews and they're not all glowing as you might expect an SMH rated 19/20 restaurant to be, so I'm hoping that the reason for that is that the reviews were written by foodie red-necks who don't understand food - *crosses fingers*. But aside from all that, thanks for all the memories and fun times...I love you lots and lots!

My head feels like it's weighing a tonne at the moment...I probably should rest but I'm not tired as such....mieh. Hopefully it's not another month before I update next time!

(PS: Britney's nude shot on Harper Bazaar is awful. It's the cheesy look she has on her face- it says: "Hehhee! I'm naked! Hehehehe!!" - no dignity whatsoever!)
