Insert candles before engaging Lateshift

Yeah. An old, posh lady, literally tearing a pair of gloves into tiny pieces, watching my face the whole while. Bloody strange behaviour. I tell you, someone should do a remake of Deliverance set in Lincolnshire.

My friend Alan was mystery shopped, after we knew the shop was closing. He got 2%. Nobody gave a shit.

Hey all!

How are you all? I'm bouncing in my chair with excitement over my upcoming weekend in New York City (first time there since 1996!)

Weeeeee!

(ahem)

So what's new?
 
 
Bed Head
23:42 / 29.12.03
I'd love to be a mystery shopper. I'd only last about a week, but I'd give everybody 100% and loads of vouchers and stuff before they could get rid of me. Just because I've, y'know, been there, man

Ahem. I mean, Hi Baz!!

You lucky sod. New York is fantastic. One day I’ll own it.
 
 
Baz Auckland
23:49 / 29.12.03
...which proves that everyone at some point in their lives should have to work retail/wait tables for at least six months. There would be so fewer nasty customers that way...
 
 
gingerbop
23:59 / 29.12.03
Yes. I dont understand who *doesnt*, though. Nearly everyone I know has or does, yet there are these inexplainably rude people. Maybe they're just bitter about their time in retail or waiter(ess)ing.

Mister Shedden, take me! And you can wear top hat and tails, and I'll wear a suit and either a top or bowler hat, and we shall go and see Bombay Dreams on Broadway!

Right, Im going to be pathetic and flake out now, but I'll just presume that Baz said yes, and I'll see you there on Saturday morning. Night, my lovelies. x
 
 
Baz Auckland
00:14 / 30.12.03
'night!

Only one more day until 2004! Yeah!

‘Night gingerbop!

So. Mr Auckland. Why aren’t you spending New Year in Times Square, huh? Or in Auckland, for that matter.
 
 
Baz Auckland
01:16 / 30.12.03
Ah, partly because I'm not a big fan of New Year's Eve, and also because i'm 12 hours away in Toronto... But Stoatie's "America Tour 2004" is a worthwhile excuse to see the city again... ah I miss it.

When were you there?

01:27 / 30.12.03
Anyone still up on the love train? Or must I wander the dining car alone?

Heya Maz, haven't seen you in donkey's years!

01:38 / 30.12.03
I'm up, but it's 2.30 in the afternoon here, so that's not much of a feat.

Yeeeees. Work. Not fun.

Well, it's 8 pm here now, and it's wet out - been raining all day.

Anybody else around? On this train called Love?
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
02:04 / 30.12.03
Possibly not. I'm on the "waiting for an early mark from work" train, myself...
 
 
gravitybitch
02:05 / 30.12.03
Hey! The glories of posts crossing in the night! Howdy, rothkoid...
 
 
Mazarine
02:08 / 30.12.03
Darn it, I always say hi, then forget to check if anyone said hi back. Hi Tryphena, Rothky, Adam, iszabelle.
 
 
gravitybitch
02:11 / 30.12.03
Five of us. Too many for backgammon... Anybody up for rummy?
 
 
Tryphena Absent
02:16 / 30.12.03
I would but it being half past four in the morning I think I might go to bed. I'm wilting like a flower that someone forgot to water and I need my sleep for the sales at Selfridges tomorrow afternoon.
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
02:19 / 30.12.03
Well, ello to all.

It's hot here, so I'm feeling like doing NOTHING in particular. Not that different from the everyday, I spose, but... eh.

I just want to get out of work so I can clean my flat and have all of tomorrow to check out the Caravaggio exhibition at the AGNSW...
 
 
Mazarine
02:43 / 30.12.03
There's always iSketch. If anyone's up for it.
 
 
gravitybitch
02:57 / 30.12.03
whassat??

not that I'm feeling particularly creative right now - I may just read a bit and then sleep. Sleep was in short supply this past weekend, and will be again over the next few days!

It's a web based pictionary-type game. The game gives you a word, one person draws, and the rest of the people in the game room guess at it. It can be really difficult, depending what word-category you pick. TV is the worst, because if you don't space and hyphenate things right, the game doesn't recognize it. It's really fun though.

Hmm. 'spoze I could give it a try...

Anybody else in?
 
 
The Return Of Rothkoid
03:09 / 30.12.03
No can do: work firewall.
 
 
Mazarine
03:13 / 30.12.03
And I'm afraid I must to bed. Kisses all.
 
 
gravitybitch
03:15 / 30.12.03
Looks like it's just you and me, Maz...

Ms Sparks is bowing out, Count Adam seems to be elsewhere, and rothkoid can't play.

And I'm starting to fade pretty fast...... I hear solitaire can be lovely sometimes!
 
 
gravitybitch
03:17 / 30.12.03
g'night, rothkoid -
XOXOXO all.

Hallo hallo hallo.

Does anyone ever feel like that there are just not enough personality quizes out there on the web?
 
 
Bed Head
21:26 / 30.12.03
The web is one big personality quiz, Maz dearest.

Right now it’s telling me I’m a prize dingbat. I cant believe I thought a quiet New Years Eve with the family would be a good idea. They’re either seriously ill (very bad), trivially ill (bloody irritating) or teetotal (worst of all, possibly). So, I’ve forsworn a deathly dull ‘party’ to sit in front of a computer screen clutching a bottle. Now, if *that* isn’t a personality test, I don’t know what is.

Ahem. How are you, anyway? How was your Christmas, and did it turn out to be the ‘flu or a cold in the end? And are you feeling ticketty-boo now?
