'Everybody's screaming'

song that's been going around my head for a while- dont worry, I'm not completely insane yet.

Soooo...I'm still sitting at work, at my desk, like i have been for the past 3 days, wondering if I will ever actually be like this in the future or whether my destiny holds some other mind boggling path for me. Worryingly, i don't think its the latter- i think that one day all my life may consist of is a 9-5/6 job that sucks all the life energy out of me and then leaves me hanging from one day to the next. Don't get me wrong- the stability of it is FAB...and its not all that hard anyways. But its just got me to thinking is all.

Like for example, this morning i was at reception sitting at the front desk for about 3 hours...staring into space and basically, doing fuck all. It was riveting. And then I had chats with a really nice girl (I say 'girl'..she was probably a woman, but looked about 18. haha) who was the head receptionist funnily enough. She told me her life story and it turns out she dropped out of a hairdressing course at college and became a receptionist at G2. Funny world really. But it cant be very fun- she sits there...looks at emails...answers the phone...types a bit...re-fills paper into the printers. And theres me thinking- wtf?! this girl must be shit bored the entire time. I truly felt sorry for her. But then the packet of Marlborough she took out her bag didn't make me feel so sorry for her anymore but a bit jealous in a way. Her life must be rather uncomplicated tbh. Shes going to LA this October to celebrate her dad's 50th which is fair enough and everything but daymnnn. Id KILL to go to LA...or any other decent part of America for that matter.

Anyways...so today i had a bit of a task- i was asked to go out and get some food for this meeting that i was meant to be sitting in on, but I'm not really up to walking into a board room full of people and making myself known before sitting down in a corner and taking notes on something that doesn't really concern me. 'Meh' I thought to myself. Id have more fun just sitting on my computer updating blog spot and facebook for the next hour. Fun times indeed.

And thennn, Ive got to try and get away for about 4.30 because Tim is having a birthday picnic/thing to celebrate his 18th. Big number and um...SHIT presents on my behalf. I got him a guide to Spain, a pair of heart sunglasses and a muse poster as well as a card i made him, a slave for a day voucher and I'm giving him one of my beaded necklaces so he can wear it and think of me (he wanted something along those lines anyway).
I'm just hoping that it doesn't look too shit in comparison to everyone elses presents...not that i think they've got him anything...
Although Holly will have made him something and Sophie's got him a big pink '18th birthday' badge. Quite funny. Alssooo i bought him 2 chocolate cupcakes and a big '1' and '8' candle to put in each one. Just hoping that they'll fricking light this time, unlike Holly's birthday cake (stupid idea, stupid candles)

Anywayyss...i should probably look around and ask people if they want something doing. Much love to you all
