Random Disjointed Entry
Stuff that's going on in my life this week:
- I had to throw out my Awesome Boots because they were falling apart. But my sister gave me her Clompy Boots, so I still have an awesome pair of boots to stomp around in. Mwahaha!
- Galaxy Bookshop is moving so they're having a massive sale right now. I didn't find Those Who Fight Monsters, but I did find Children of Magic, the other anthology with a Tony Foster short story that I haven't read yet. And I'd given up on finding that book.
- I may have to set myself a goal to get through all these unread books that I have. Maybe read a book a day for a week or two. I know it's achievable because I've done it before, and it should help me clear out my "currently reading" list.
- I had a dream that I was in a choir and we had a major competition coming up in two days that we hadn't practiced for. It was so vivid I woke up thinking I needed to practice my solo.
Clearly I've been watching too much Glee.
This is what happens when you watch each episode two or three times and then spend the rest of the week writing up your thoughts before the next one airs. Yes, I am in a state of constant Glee!
- I like to collect quotes from work, but now I have a few I'm not really sure what to do with them, so I may as well share them here:
Boss: Have I given you this exercise?
Ms Chimney: Oh, you've given me those. They're horrid.
Boss: Exactly. They make you work.
Ms Chimney: I'm paying for a holiday here.
Boss: This might be a little more painful.
Ms Chimney: Cutting my head off? Yes, I imagine it would be.
Boss: ... I'm not going to cut your head off.
Ms Chimney: My mother would have been 108 this year. Except she only made it to 94. My husband is terrified I'll take after her.
Miss Piggy: That's just your typical Mature Age student: always down the front of the class writing everything down, and even when you tell them, "don't write everything down," they'll write, "don't write everything down."
Miss Piggy: Leave husband at home; fly business class.
Mr D: I've never had much trouble with weight. Certainly never had much trouble putting it on.
Boss: Come on, I've got some work for you to do up here.
Mr Weasel: Bloody marvellous. Looking forward to it. I love pain.
Ms Curly: Husbands are a bit like a lottery ticket, aren't they? You don't know what you've got until you've got them and then it's too late.
Mr Englishman: There's an old rule in the printing industry: "Shoot a designer every morning to encourage the others." It's a good rule. You skip three days and they all go crazy.
Ms Pine: It's trying to rain out there.
Boss: Yes, and it's not succeeding very well. I think it's forgotten how to.
Boss: Did your neck hurt when you got home from Zombie Class? Sorry, Zumba Class.
Little Miss Sunshine: *Rummaging in huge handbag* Thank god I've had a Tetnus shot.
Mr Scot: I like football...
Boss: Not Gaelic Football?
Mr Scot: Oh god no. I like sport, not murder.
Ms Numbers: I can't get up Thursday mornings, it's too cold.
Ms Librarian: I only go to Yoga so I can be flexible enough to paint my toe nails.
I love our patients. They're always interesting. And entertaining.
