An interesting chat…

I got bored again, so I decided to change the layout. It seemed that some people got confused and didnt get the whole idea that my site is a blog, so the layout is much more blog like. Just to help those who are easily confused (not mentioning any names).

I’ve been pretty busy at work recently so I haven’t had much time to post on anything particularly exciting, other than the fact that a lot of people are starting to sit up and take notice of what’s going on. Just today in work someone asked me to what extent the deception goes. Oh how I wanted to tell them! Alas, if only I could.

On the superficial level, on such a plane that I am still quite attached to, I had a nice chat with Klara at work today. I think she’s kinda involved with a guy a work, who’s 18. Klara is 24. hmm :| ANYway, we work quite closely together, she’s on the floor dealing with stock, the system and orders while I’m up in the office trying to make sure everything runs smoothly for her and everyone else who uses the system. Invariably it doesn’t, and she comes up to the office to get me to sort out all the problems she’s having. So we were on our break together and had the typical chat about the weaknesses of the opposite sex. Now I was mildly superficially impressed that she was able to admit that women think about stuff too much. Like how many “x”s are at the end of a text message. !amazed

Then she went on to say how blokes aren’t romantic, aren’t sensitive, etc etc etc, you know the speil. I informed her that the reason most guys aren’t romantic is because they’ve probably done something romantic before and it wasn’t appreciated, so they decide not to do it again. I even told her that I did something romantic. She wanted to know what it was but I decided not to tell her. She then proceeded to tell me all about her relationship with her ex and all the romantic stuff she did for him. Basically it was her re-living her relationship history to me. Now, don’t get me wrong, that’s cool, but I quite like her, and the last thing I really want to know is about why her past relationships failed etc. Anyway, I should bring this to a close. Cut a long story short, she’s really nice and I can actually talk to her. Which makes a bit of a change.

Then… she asked for my help with an order, just before I was about to go home. She gets stressed out really easily, especially about work, which totally contrasts with my ethic of stay chilled. When she gets stressed she tries to get me stressed by saying it’s all my fault, when it isn’t. The order she was saying wasn’t on the system actually was, and she had everything she needed right in front of her, she just hadn’t looked properly and chilled out enough to realise. When I realised this I took 5 deep breaths, and calmly pointed out that she didn’t need me to do anything, she could do it all for herself because she had all the necessary information. I walked away with my arms in the air and went home.

Bring on tomorrow! My sister is coming over to stay with me while I have the house to myself. I said I’d show her ’round my work and maybe let her have a dip in the hot-tubs. Should be a laugh and we shall talk muchly and rise to a higher level :)

I think this is enough of an entry, i need my sleep! Oh yeah, Griff, if you’re reading this email me your address up there so I can post you a CD.. it’s WICKED!
