A Delicate Morning

I’m very hungover, not sure why I now feel the need to blog but I suppose its a bit of guilt along with everything else! I’ve been getting those despair.nu emails…I think I signed up for them a million years ago and with a different site and every now and then I get emails saying “woops sorry our system crashed and it’ll be back soon”, obviously it didnt crash enough for it to remove my email from their list! I tried emailing the girl there so hopefully they’ll stop emailing me, I never comment anyone else and I definitely never get any comments from it so I think im safe from the comment nazi’s!

I’m hungover because I was at a barbeque yesterday and then we went on to see Booka Shade in Tripod. There were a bunch of different stages and different acts but Booka Shade were the main act. They were pretty good but it was madness, they played from 1am-2am and right after we ran next door to see El Gunicho, this amazing spanish guy, it was just so happy and uplifting! Check him out on The Hype Machine: http://hypem.com/search/el%20guincho/1/ 

I crashed at about 5.30am and due to a drunk girl having claimed the bed at my friends house I got the 6 euro cab home to my gorgeous bed. Ahhh, I love bank holiday mondays its like the biggest ‘fuck you’ possible to the working week. Right now my laptop is balanced on my lap and the E! True Hollywood Story of Sex and the City is on, meaning I don need to do annnnything! I really want to see the film actually, im not a real girly girl but I do like the show and I think its going to be good (at least from what Im hearing!) Because most of my close friends are guys a girl from work and I are going to go down after work one day this week and just indulge. 

So for the rest of today im just gona veg out…ill be a real person tomorrow, promise.

I think i’m a workaholic…

I’m taking a little holiday from work. I went home Friday evening and have monday and tuesday off as ‘holidays’. This is mostly because I havent taken a day off since I started and because we’re about to hit our busy time. I sent out a cartload of letters before I left to inform students of the procedures for when they move out in June and from my sources online I have realised that some of them received the wrong letter which tells them they need to leave a week earlier than they were contracted for. Naturally some of them are pissed. And im not there to clean up the mess tomorrow morning when my colleagues face the emails of anger! This makes me sad and squirmy and I hate it when things go wrong. I know its not a big deal and just a clerical error but still..ARGH! (I work for a student accommodation company in case that wasnt clear)

So with my relaxing ‘holiday’ pretty much shot to shit I kinda wish I was back now. I’m so restless. As much as I love my job I know deep down I need to be doing something for ME and property really isnt it. More and more the prospect of moving to London next year is looking more and more concrete. 

I also have another job working for a girl as her PA on the side. She runs a pole dancing school (for fitness, not sleaze) and needs someone to give her a hand at promotions etc as well as arranging her own private affairs as well as the businesses. I just do it on the side after work and stuff to earn extra money and its been amazing so far, both the money and the experience.

I need to go to sleep now because my crazy mother wants to leave for Galway at 8.30am tomorrow…madness. Plus my non-boyfriend got back from England today and the girlfriend in me needs to make sure he got in ok (maybe the friend part wants to know that too…a little)

 

Night folks…and go see Iron Man, great great film plus Robert Downey Jr…hot!

Birthdays and Dating

I need to update this more often…things change too much, too quickly! Ok I’ll start with saying Saturday was my birthday (yay), I was the big 22 and celebrated with a really cool night out with my mates. We went to a club not far from where I live that plays this amazing dance mix type music it was such a nice change from normal pop music crap they play in clubs in the city centre. Pretty much everyone came so I got to celebrate with everyone which was so nice. 22 is a pretty crap birthday, it has to follow after the party madness that 21 brings so its usually a let down! But I have to admit mine was perfect, I really enjoyed it.

As for the “date” i mentioned in my last post…well I went and it was really nice. We’ve been texting and met up since and although i think he’s such a lovely guy and we have so much in common, I just don’t feel like theres a spark there. I dont feel ‘it’, whatever ‘it’ is meant to be! I ended up having to tell him because it really was going in the direction of a relationship so in that respect I felt really pressured since we were just meeting up ourselves and not in social situations with others…but also i dont think im ready to go out with anyone else. It was nice, and definitely gave me lots of confidence but it wasnt right. But I’m glad I did it and he’s a great guy and he still came to my birthday and I think we’ll still stay mates which is great, if nothing else i’ll hopefully gain a really good mate.

So this week is short in work, today was St Patricks Day so we had a day off and as Friday is Good Friday we have that off too AND the following Monday for Easter Monday…so I’m barely in work at all! It’s like a little holiday so I’m delighted. I’m going home on either Thursday night or Friday morning and chilling out and letting my mother cook me food allllll weekend!! I’m bringing my laptop too…if i don’t pressure myself to get back into photoshopping again then i never will so i promise I’ll have something more profound to say then
