Friday fun...
This has been a *long* (short) week.
I am bored at work now.
Checked on the fishtank last night, and it doesn't stink anymore. The water is like strong tea though cos the wood is leaching tannins like MAD. Gotta do a huge waterchange the weekend. Just emailed the aquariumshopguy to "order" fish! Yay!!!!!!! Going to have new beebees maybe by next weekend (that's when I can introduce them all into the big tank...)
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok *breathes*... yes I'm excited about it.
Not much else is news... want to go clothes shopping for summery stuff but before I do that I have to dig out all the "packed away" clothes and put away all the winter stuff. That way I won't buy extra stuff hehe!
Was supposed to be 31 in Town today but I'm FREEZING! And I don't even have a warm top to put on over this shirt... blehhhhhhhhhhh Murphy I'm going to hunt you down and do nasty things to you which will make you wish I'd simply killed you!
Will blog more as I get more bored...

What aspect of Water are you?
What Aspect of Water Are You
You are the running water aspect. You are quick and positive. Running water stems from springs, which can mean you feel a connection to earth, and running water (in the form of streams, rivers, etc) strives to reach its goal, the sea, just as you strive towards your goals. The farthest aspect from yours is rain, and your blue is shimmery, dark-light blue.

Ok more bla for today
Doesn't seem to be my week I guess.
This workplace is petty.
Ok there are 3 bosses and handbagbossman (from now on referred to as hbbm). The two bosses are "my" bosses and the third is not my boss (different co/department). Hbbm WAS a boss but now he's just an "old fart" to quote his daughter.
The notmyboss dude is rude and spoilt and all that jazz... not particularly pleasant and just not nice. None of his secretaries last very long cos he makes them crazy. The latest one left for the UK for a month, and would let him know after the month whether she's coming back or not, apparently she wanted to resign but he didn't want her to. Anyway, so she arrives here this morning to see him at 9, and she tells me he saw her as she was coming to the building cos he was coming to the building ahead of her. He told me when he got in "if X comes, tell her to wait in the boardroom, I've booked it for 9". So anyway, she comes in a little after he does and we chat a little, ppl passing in the reception area chat to her and stuff and cos someone else was still busy in the boardroom (before 9) I didn't phone him, and besides he knows she's coming at 9 (and usually he gallops downstairs to shit on people who haven't booked the boardroom and encroach on his timeslot). So anyway, he doesn't come down and colleague asks "did you phone him... blabla" and X says "nah don't bother... he saw me etc..." and she seemed miffed cos he generally is rude and it's "expected" and it just is so typical that he didn't come down and she wasn't happy with him anyway and stuff blablablabla. So then he phones downstairs and asks me whether she's there and then craps on me basically for not phoning him.
ANYWAY, it was a VERY brief meeting, not a cheerful one I guess - seems she's back in SA but not back at this co.
He probably rushed upstairs to rubbish me to the other boss/es... which isn't out of the ordinary here.
Now a short while ago, a (new) colleague comes in with a cake - it's his bday and he needs the cake cut... one cake (not a complete cake, it's already had slices taken out of it) cut into 19 slices. Tealady's off sick and typist lady says 'nuh-uh' she's not going to attempt that so I have to. She listens to the phone until hbbm comes running downstairs and exclaims that he needs typist lady like NOW and stemmie must sit at the phone. Stemmie is the temp who has been standing in for me on and off, when I was in hospital, when I was in Aus, when I was off sick with glandular fever, etc but left at the beginning of the month I think. But now she's back with the "other" dept. So anyway, typist isn't able to come to the phone, so I phone upstairs for stemmie to come down cos it's like 5mins nothing hectic, just so that I can cut carefully and not have to run and answer the phone with chocolatey fingers etc. So the lady (that boss's wife) says no, that boss has said they've employed stemmie for the month and I must find someone else to do it.
CHARMING.
5 fucking minutes, jees. Like, whatever.
PETTINESS. Fuck you, man. Shit place.

Still sick...
Nearly coughed my lungs out yesterday so I got an appointment to see the doctor that afternoon. Left work at 12 cos it was a 15:15 appointment - 1hr home and then 15mins to doc... give and take, and no point coming back after work. That's either by car OR by train.
Throat infection/thing like that, got a heap of medicine. Antibiotics, probiotics, super-strength antihistamine to kick-start the anti-allergy effect, must keep on with my normal antihistamine, plus nasal spray. Ooh and: COUGH SYRUP!!! Strong stuff which makes you feel like a "space-robot" (to quote the doc), so I can only take it at night... BUT YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!! I *SLEPT* last night!!!!!!
The accountant came to give me my payslip earlier and informed me that the directors had decided that the friday I'd taken off as leave would have to stay as leave and not become sick leave cos it's basically "tough luck" if you get sick while on leave (which wasn't the issue... I got sick BEFORE I was on leave). She also said that the one (uhh) boss apparently asked what was wrong because it just said "attended GP" on my doctor's certificate. Like he can't hear me coughing all the time and stuff.
What is the best way to make your employees untrustworthy? DON'T TRUST THEM. Doubt them and question them and suspect them of everything you can possibly imagine, give them the 3rd degree on everything under the sun. Think the worst when anything happens. Yes I *have* ranted about this before, but I really was quite unpleasantly surprised when I phoned in after my op to let the bosses know that the surgeon had booked me off for a certain amount of time and the boss's response was "oh well, if *that's* what he's decided to do". Bla. And when I left early the LAST time to see the doctor, he said to me the next day "people don't usually take a half day to go see the doctor, they usually take an hour or so". Funny to hear a while later from a colleague who's worked here for a LONG time, that when this boss was a "junior" chappie, he was the one out the door the *second* he got a headache. Methinks he suspects everyone is like he was?
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!
Anyway, the other boss came past me a little while ago and asked "so what did the doctor say?". Told him about throat infection, etc blabla, got loads of medication etc so he said "Brooklax is all you need.... be too scared to cough".
So much going on this weekend, it seems. Going to Synd Friday night, bring'n'braai to see M's new place and her "new" pc. Saturday a farewell bring'n'braai for Te before she leaves for Denver, Colorado!!
Finally got the double pump for the tank, temporarily wired it up and started both filters and OMG the tank water STINKS! Proper, stinky river smell. OMG! So yes, a major waterchange is scheduled for this weekend too! *huff*, see, the pump WAS urgent *huff*
ewww stinky riverwater in my BEDROOM!!!!!!!!!
What else is news.
G's also coughing now, he started feeling sick yesterday. At least it's not the same thing I have... but ugh... next I'll get THAT and be sick another time HAHA.
I am SO GLAD this is a short week.

Post-weekend blaaaa
Ok I'm back at work, after a BRILLIANT AWESOME AMAZING WOW ÜBERSUPERHYPERWOOO weekend!!!!!!!!!!
Bla. Work sucks. Same old same old.
PLUS, I feel so tired from coughing my DAMN lungs out! I think I got a total of 3 hours' sleep the entire weekend and that's NOT cos I got up to MISCHIEF... with a cough like this, triggered every 0.4 seconds, even just TALKING is a mission!!?!?!?! The people in the other units where we stayed must have been banging their fists/heads against the wall out of sheer irritation hearing me cough each night for the entire night!
Didn't even get to move any post-boxes around... I'm sure it would have been fun to confuse someone in Lamberts Bay!
Oh and for the record: There Is Only One. Petrol station, that is. A BP garage. At least it was open and stuff, not like the one in Piketberg (phew but Piketberg smells GROSS - salt pans whatever... smelt like some really gross medical waste dump or something *pukes at the memory*.) And Saldanha Bay is um... um... well pointless. Went there, thinking ooh ahh, Saldanha Bay is Significant - it's not. Nothing there really other than strange kids who pretend to throw rocks at cars. Well, at least we can say ~we've been to Saldanha Bay~
Got sunburnt ankles from lying on the beach enjoying the sun, sand, sea for a bit too long.. but HELL it was lovely! Making sand-mosaics with the sand-"blocks" (the sand had dried thick like a desert-floor).
Had an amazing drive home, about 7 hours' drive, through gorgeous country and over ALL terrain, too! One-car-at-a-time bridges, mountain passes, normal roads, bumpy roads, potholed roads, clay roads, bumpy clay roads, and the highlight of the trip: bumpy, wet, potholed clay mountain pass road, in mist and drizzle. THAT ROCKED!!!!! No spray-on mud here!!!
Went out for supper/chilled out with some more of G's friends, met J+C and X+L (and W). Had a lekker evening, despite not actually getting a chance to say anything due to the fact I was fully occupied with The Cough. Nearly spilt hot tea all over myself too.
BE GONE, YE EVILLE COUGHE YE!!!!!
mMMMmmmmm wimpy mushroom breakfast sounds good around about now!

South Park people
Want to be a South Park character? Check out SP-Studio.de
I made a South Park me and also a South Park Gareth
Isn't he cute????
Off sick
Ugh. Still sick. Coughing more, sore throat and all that jazz.
Rob @aquaworld sms'd to say the pumps had arrived - I sms'd back saying I'd come pick mine up after seeing the doctor. Went to see the doc, seems it's probably a viral infection, made worse by allergies (yay - I'd stopped taking my allergy meds so the allergies just made it worse UHH!). So I've started taking my allergy meds again and have to take anti-inflammatories to bring my glands down to normal size. They're quite big hehe. Doc thinks it MIGHT (might might probably not but not ruled out) be a little bit of glandular fever rearing its head again... apparently it can do that from time to time... NO MAN that sucks :( hope it's not.
Went to the mall "quickly" after seeing the doc, to pick up my medicines, and while I was going to be in the chemist, mom was going to buy a top she'd ordered... and then I'd meet her in another shop. Got my meds, went to the *other* shop, mom's not there, get my stuff, then go to the clothes shop, she's there, paying. We walk together to the *other* shop, and while she's in there ("I'll just be quick", says she), I go to the pie shop cos I'm hungry. Get pies. Eat one. Walk back to the *other* shop, and she's STILL THERE!!!! Appears she's ONLY JUST STARTED in there!!!!!!!! So I go into the shop and explain to her WHY I'd asked that we could HURRY because aquaworld closes at about 5 and Rob is there til 5:15 and I can't ask him to wait til 8pm for me! Oh, she says... what's the time now "5:10 almost" oh... blabla... not important. Not like I've been waiting WEEKS for this pump, or anything. Not that the tank is almost 100% set up and waiting to be wired up to start cycling - need the pump so the filter carbon can activate. No, nothing like that. Not as if I'd asked that we HURRY so that I can actually get it today so that it can do its stuff this evening and while I'm away.
We only get away from the mall at about 5:40. Charmed I was not.
Can't get the pump tomorrow, as we're leaving early in the morning and won't be able to wire it up and start it. Can't get Hosey to fetch it and stuff cos well I'm away the weekend. No point really, ok yeah yay can get it fetched during NEXT week but hello... that means it's all a week later. *sigh*
Ok rant over
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ooh honey&lemon! lemme go heat the kettle and make some brew!!!! Ahh soothing for my throat (ouch).
Gotta pack clothes etc for the weekend.
Mr Invisible's ETA - 20:30 = 2hrs to pack and stuff.
Going to do last min shopping for stuff like milk bread etc probably when we're there.
LONG DRIVE - yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and I'll post a pic of Project Fishtank once it's ACTUALLY COMPLETED! Man, I wanted to get plants too! *tsk!!!*

Project Fishtank - status: paused
Ok, Project Fishtank was never fast-tracked anyway, but we'd planned to set it up last night but yesterday I woke up with a Throat. Yay. Felt ok during the morning but started to feel worse and worse for the rest of the day. Cold shivers, headache, sore throat, itchy cough, all that jazz. Cold shivery to the bone. Got a lift home with Mr Invisible, and... well, basically just went straight to bed! No supper, no fishtank setting up, nada, just bed. Snuggled and snoozed while he had supper, cos it was so nice and cosy in my bed! Apparently my skin was burning hot but I just felt nice and warm. Strange but hey, anything's better than cold shivers.
Tonight, perhaps, we are going to set the tank up. Now that the fever's broken I should be settled enough into my "unwell state" to be able to do stuff. That'd be after he gets back from band.
Got an email from the aquariumshop guy saying the pump I'd ordered/asked for was coming tomorrow, when he'd said (weeks ago) that it'd be "ready on Saturday with your name on it." Hmm... ah the joys of living/working in a "small town" :P Ok not tiny just a kinda slow-mo place! So if I'm off sick tomorrow I can go pick it up.
I hope I feel better soon, as I don't think this weekend would be so fun if I'm all sick. *hold thumbs!!!*

New new new!
Teeheehee!!
Ok I haven't blogged for MONTHS and months, wasn't really that interested in blogging again, just knew that I had this blog lying around (gathering dust hmm).
Anyway, what is news to blog about?!
Been tidying junk in my room today, packed up a few piles of stuff and shoved them in boxes. Gotta pack away two stacks of ornaments/trinkets/odds&ends, no point in having them lying around or trying to find a place to put EVERYthing. Mission: StreamlineMyLife - status: ongoing.
Well... haven't blogged about it: Project Fishtank (100l aquarium) is nearing completion, got to paint the last coat of wood-sealer as well as paint the stand with the metal-paint stuff, get the (double-)pump, got to wash everything one last time, then set it all up and let it run for 2 weeks. Then: FISH SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Setting up the fishtank will be quite a feat, since it'll involve moving the desk+hifi into the centre of my room, move the drawers into the desk's place (will clean the little fishtank at the same time so that the tank will be evacuated and empty and easily moved), and then put the tank and stand where the drawers were. OH MAN I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's gonna look GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
What ELSE is news... hmm...!
we-ell.... I have a new band to be a fan of! DUSK PUPPY! Teeheehee, have heard them live (practising :P ), have heard some demo tracks and some not-yet-mixed tracks, and um.. well I'm turning into a roadie! Ok, besides all that, I'm a fan of the lead-guitarist... HEHEHEHEHEHE, to use his words, he's my "significant other"!
LONG LIVE THE INVISIBLE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
Ok I haven't blogged for MONTHS and months, wasn't really that interested in blogging again, just knew that I had this blog lying around (gathering dust hmm).
Anyway, what is news to blog about?!
Been tidying junk in my room today, packed up a few piles of stuff and shoved them in boxes. Gotta pack away two stacks of ornaments/trinkets/odds&ends, no point in having them lying around or trying to find a place to put EVERYthing. Mission: StreamlineMyLife - status: ongoing.
