More learning curves.

Stuff I learned this week, in no particular order...

I am human, I cry, I am not a robot and that's ok.

My Lil Sis and my BFF will tolerate my whinging and moaning for hours! (They deserve medals, seriously!)

Friendships pop up in unexpected places. (And I love that!)

Two of my old school teachers have died, I got an email update from my "Old Girl's Association" today. That made me feel sad, and bloody ancient! My teachers are dying?!

If I step away from my desk for 5 minutes, even if he isn't in the building, my boss will know about it! (And there were repercussions - urgh!)

I only need to sit in this glorious sunshine for half an hour before I get pink shoulders.

Drinking wine, wearing cute pink PJs and listening to Neil Diamond are the perfect end to a long week.

Wanting something you can't have is hell on Earth.

Trying to switch off wanting something you can't have is bloody hard. (And a work in progress.)

At 37 it seems I am not too old to get spots. This is payback for my youth when I was so smug with my flawless skin.

I feel alive when the sun shines and the temperatures get above 20C, like I just woke up from hibernation.

It doesn't matter how many times I reboot my router, my laptop still won't pick up my wifi and it's really getting on my tits!

I should not be allowed anywhere near Facebook after more than 1 glass of wine.

...and that just about wraps up my week.

In other news, I'm heading off to The Boonies tomorrow for a little R & R with Lil Sis. My nephews will hate me because I'm not taking the Lil P's with me this time. I need time with Lil Sis, her tranquil garden and lots of wine. The weather is set to stay in the mid 20's C so it looks to be a perfect weekend. I do not plan on taking my laptop; this is a real break, (I know, the shock!) I'll catch up on Sunday. Have a great weekend.

You can't leave your desk for 5 minutes? When do you pee!?

;)

Maybe your teachers aren't dying because they are old...maybe they are being murdered.

That would be cool.

Having something you don't want is worse. Remember your ex??? :D lol

I get pink in about 10 minutes. So don't feel bad!

Sizzle - ok I may have exaggerated slightly ;o) My boss and I do have a running joke that the moment I pop outside for a cigarette is when he will phone me, like he somehow knows! ;o)

Mr Fab - Umm, yeah, cool is one way of putting it - at least it wouldn't make me feel so old ;o)

Honeywine - Good point! ;o)
