17 hours later and no signs of food poisoning, well done housemate *winkz*. I was pleasantly surprised at the finished product, I mean, the meat was pre-cooked, the potatoes were soft, there were onions and mushrooms *grin*... all in all, a great virgin attempt. Really proud of ya, handled the whole "kitchen" situation very well, minimal panicking, though I must add the whole "sounds from the microwave" fiasco was pretty amusing.. (for those that are interested, you'll have to ask her yourself).

Me getting a haircut tonight, still deciding on the short "G.I. JOE" (the cool version) look or the slightly longish "Jay-ish" look with a fringe... I think I'll let Maria decide, she always knows what's best :)

Had a game of tennis during lunch, was really a last minute thing. Felt good to run around abit, but left me feeling SUPER hungry, not to mention that "empty" feeling I have cos I didn't get my daily dose of OPRAH. Oh well, time to get back to work.....

All I need to do now is proof-read..... *grin*

Well well, two more days til the weekend, LONG weekend I might add, Queen's birthday i think, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!

Been a rather eventful day, accomplished a fair bit of work, purchased a pair of second hand cross-drilled/slotted rotors for a bargain (werhooo... i can brake again), had an unexpected, but pleasant lunch date, spoke to Telstra for what seemed like eternity...

Speaking of Telstra :P , I hate their automated voice prompts, I mean, I've pretty much gotten use to the whole "press #1, press #2 blah blah", but with Telstra, you actually have to SAY OUT LOUD, what you want. Its some kind of voice recognition software... gives me the shits..

Lem= L telstra "robot" lady= TRL

TRL: "please say in words, what is the nature of your inquiry?"
L: "Disconnection"
TRL: "Thank you, was that CONNECTION?"
L:"NO!"
TRL: "PLease say in words the nature of your inquiry"

*long pause as L curses and swears away from reciever*

TRL: "We did not get a response, please say in words the nature of your inquiry"
L: "DISCONNECTION!"
TRL:" Thank you, was that DISCONNECTION?"
L: "yes"

*another long pause as L realises he must look like such a retard, looks around the room and finds his vietnamese colleague giggling to herself, obviously amused with the situation*

TRL: "please say the phone number you're inquiring about"
L: "WHAT THE F*%&????????"

*the shame*

Lesson? This ones for you ladies, next time someone tries to pick you up at a bar and asks for your number... give'em 132200 *grin*

As i came into the office this morning, I was in the lift with one of the bosses (who evidently would get his arse kicked in tennis just a couple of hours later) when i struck up a casual conversation about how "good" the weather was today and how much i was looking forward to our scheduled tennis match. He agreed with me bout the weather, but went a step further to explain the warm weather was due to the transit of Venus, which would occur sometime later in the afternoon.

Now, I know NUTS about astrology, I do know Venus ia a planet beside Earth, nearer to the sun... but its TRANSIT?? Who really cares?? And how am i suppose to respond? With my trusty (some call fake) grunt-laughter.. *huh-uh*
