Underwhelmed
Friday 30 June 2006 - 9.36am

Well the title kinda says it all with regard to the response from my beloved and the wee badges I had created for him. Boys just don\'t get it sometimes do they? He looked at me a little like I had lost my mind and then plonked them on his desk and that was that. He did concede that they were an original gift idea and that I am incredibly thoughtful (yay me) and that no one had ever got custom made badges for him before.
By the way, the above yay me was sarcasm 
I did get a huge "happy six months" hug this morning as I was leaving for work
But um yeah, all in all feeling a little glum about that 
Thank God they didn\'t cost me much
Dinner went well though - his boss and work mates seemed really nice and the food was fantastic!!! I so love Thai food.

Milestones... of sorts...

I have been invited to have dinner tomorrow night with my boyfriend, his boss and a handful of their colleagues. It's a kind of thank you/sorry dinner as they are all having to work this weekend on a big IT project. I know that it might seem a little odd to be so excited about this but it will be the first time I have met his work mates properly and it kinda marks me as becoming officially important girlfriend
Friday also marks our 6 months together.  It seems like so long and no time at all...I am so in love its scary.
Unfortunately he is working late Friday night and I am going to the theatre so will only get to see each other briefly when we fall into bed (yay for sleep ins - totally hanging out for sat morning!).
And even though I know its so "high school" I have had a (very) small gift made for him; there is a guy on TradeMe (seller name = philc1) who creates custom badges and I have had him make two badges with pictures of my boyfriend's go kart on them (one shot in the pitts, one shot of him racing) with "Team Mike Racing" along the top. Okay so they aren\'t terribly practical and I have no idea what he will actually do with them, but i thought it was a kinda cool, original and thoughtful gift - as well as being incredibly cheap ($6 including postage) so i haven\'t blown a total fortune if he hates it and thinks its totally naff

Random outpouring of thought to distract myself from actually working
Monday 26 June 2006 - 5.00pm

I have just spent the last twenty minutes listening to an over enthusiastic American visitor extol loudly and longly (as only exuberant Americans can) the virtues of NZ toilets and their half flush/whole flush mechanism. Apparently this is missing in US toilets and he is making it his personal mission in life to spread the word stateside about this wondrous invention. Maybe jevon this is the way you can help the world?!? 
Meanwhile…
I am not the remotelyest bit interested in working today. I am not feeling too bad now (though still with a cough/bark that a hunt away dog would be proud of) but feel endlessly tired and uninspired. Thank God all my managers have been in meetings today so have been able to slack off in relative peace. 
I have found a really efficient and entertaining way to waste time too:
www.mywingman.com.au
Okay, so it’s really an advertising gimmick for a shampoo company but it’s really cute and cool! It’s amazing how much time you can waste talking online to a little computer generated guy who has pre determined answers to everything you say and ask. 
And Oh, would you look at that, its now 5pm – home time, Yay Me

I am so over being sick now. The server is still bung at work (waiting for parts to come to fix the fried power supply) so I stayed home again and decended into a funk of misery. I am not a good patient at the best of times but this cold/flu/bug seems particulary vicious and on top of that I had my first asthma attack in several years in the middle of last night, so am feeling 110% blah. I even had a little "woe is me" cry this afternoon, which didnt achieve anything or make me feel better but it did make me fall asleep which is something I have not been able to get much of for the last couple of days.
On the upside, I did get to have a really lovely chat with  chrissy on msn this afternoon which has been the bright spot on an otherwise very mank kind of day.
I just want to be better and go to work and hang out with my boyfriend and feel human again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Love Sheep
Monday 19 June 2006 - 6.16pm

As the title says, I love sheep. If it weren't for our little woolly friends, we would have no lanolin cream, and without lanolin cream my nose would resemble something Michael Jackson would be proud to call his own.
I am sick
At least I got to spend the day curled up in bed - the server blew up at work over the weekend so there was no point going in cos no one can work til its fixed (which may take all of tomorrow also), all very handy really!
So I have read, napped, rediscovered my love for Enzso, watched Dancing with the Stars from last night and eaten chocolate (sorry irene the only way I am going to stop eating the life giving goodness that is chocolate is if my doctor forbids it!) so was feeling reasonably human again...until my gas heater ran out of gas about 20 minutes ago and now the house is like a tomb but I don\'t wanna brave the cold and rain tonight
Music: Enzso - Poor Boy

I realised it had been a while since I had done one of my random website entries...so here it is!
The Advertising Slogan generator
http://www.thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi
Obviously mine is the title of this entry...I am not that sick otherwise!
Now I shall crawl back to my duvet on the couch in front of the heater and feel miserable; I woke up with the makings of a cold this morning
Yay for my lovely boyfriend buying me chocolate to cheer me up; the new Cadbury Desserts Lemon Cheesecake Chocolate is awesome!!! Not so fussed on the Fudge Brownie one - it tasted like chocolate caramello to me, very sickly and rich. Just gotta try the banoffi pie now. Yay for new chocolate flavours!
