Email

My work Outlook stopped from sending anymore email until I had cleaned up my mailbox today. So I started with my ‘Sent Items’ and the email I have sent to Edna. There were 645 emails sent since 20th September last year.

So being curious about what we could have possibly talked about in that many emails I had a look at some of the titles. Such gems as Weird Cheese, Annoying Me, Fluffy Squirrels and Is Vomiting Preferable had content that cannot be shared it was just too random. Less Babies and More Booze however, was fairly self explanatory.

Finally there was Chocolate, Genius and Men! Three things that girls have to talk about, oddly enough there was not one called Shoes.

Odds On

In times of extreme boredom (usually at work) or my lunch hour (also at work) I will go to Wikipedia and push the random article button. This is the result of Hubby telling me about it after he was bored at work and discovered it

Now, as some of you may know I made a New Years resolution to go and see more bands play live in 2007. In fact I set myself the goal of 30 bands that I had never seen before, but I could see any I liked more than once. Currently I sit at 14 bands 23 times.

So what are the chances of the Random Article today, being about a band? I’m sure there is a smartie-pants out there somewhere that could work out the odds for me.
Anyway, it was indeed a band, Nuclear Death to be exact.

Unfortunately they are from the States and broken up, but a band none the less.

Mondayitis

It’s Monday and in light of me having a fairly social weekend that’s already been blogged I have a few things random things to report about my Monday so far, so here’s a list;

1. I’m bored at work.
2. Edna is unwell with a chesty problem. No, her boobs are fine, but her lungs are having issues. So I took her a heater in my lunch break and haven’t had anyone to email and look busy with all day. Get Well Soon babe!
3. I’m surfing blogs and have read a few new ones (nothing standout) but did find out that my review from the other night got a link from Syms blog…ta mate!
4. The first Ramdom Article on Wikipedia was a rather interesting piece on the song ‘Sea of Love’
5. The second random article was about Inverell in New South Wales. Never been there, but it’s just north of the Central Coast & Hunter alpaca region boarder and they hold a pretty good show I hear.
6. My Rubber Band ball is now 3.1cm in diameter.
7. I wrote a letter to my penfriend in Washington DC
8. Read an article about Wally De Backer and Gotye from the Sydney Morning Herald Good Weekend magazine, it was very short, so it didn’t take long.
9. Did I already say I’m bored at work?

What to do?

This is my second day back at work after my trip to India. I’m jetlagged, I’m still suffering the after effects of long-haul travel and I’m severely bored. I have heaps of stuff I would/should be doing, but work is interfering. A little list for you.

1. I have a Uni piece to write. It requires I spread out papers and it’s very hard to be discrete about that at work.
2. I have an alpaca newsletter to gather advertising and content for. Thankfully this is the last time I will EVER have to do this.
3. I have sleeping to do.
4. I have cats to spend time with, they are very p*ssed off right now after being abandoned while we where on holiday, even if the cat sitter did read Harry Potter to them.
5. I have blogging to do about all the things I experianced in India but didn't 'do'. This one can be done at work, but I feel guilty doing this when I have an assignment to do.
6. My wardrobe needs sorting, yes…I’m that bored at work.

Exciting Day

Once again Australia Day has come and gone. A day were city dwellers flee the confines of concrete and block the major traffic arteries out of the city for the whole of the day before and at the end of the long weekend.

Once again Hubby and I missed the ferry races on the Harbour, the vintage car line up in Hyde Park and Macquarie Street and the 21 gun salute from Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair.

Instead we stayed in the bush and watched movies we’ve seen before. I wrote a couple poems, well actually I edited one and wrote a new Tanka. I also finished a book I’ve been reading on and off. The Further Adventures of Belle de Jour, a very cool book about an ex-London call girl. Her first book is about when she was on the game. I also ordered a few new books from Amazon, a couple of fetish books and a book of poetry by Christian Bok. I shall look forward to receiving the wisdom they have to impart.
