good old fashioned colloqualisms
yes I think its up to me to bring forth the retro focus on old colloqualisms..why call someone a dirty skank slut or whore (ho) when you can \refer to someone as a hussy, tramp or floozy!Today for example when DC was causing my brow to furrow I could have simply thunk him to be a full on clacker. KJ is on leave and me and DR did a lunchrun to E.

with god back in 1986.
Today I went to church. We went to support our friends child going through communion now for those of you who do church regularly thats probably nothing new.
However the last time I was in church without it being a wedding/funeral/christening was 24th dec midnight mass in 1986 - end of year 12 we all got pissed and went to midnight mass with out catholic friends from school. I remember JF mother being horrified that I- a heathen unbaptised - went and took communion. Even worst JFs mother was more horrified that EL who was anglican did it. I - apparently as a heathen - knew no better but EL as a proper christian was going to go to hell for it.
Now Catholics are huge throughout the world and hold some pretty good rituals and rites - but slagging off other religions (Father Walter today bitched about Jews, Pagans and muslims) is not good. Seriously good marketing is about promoting your value/difference etc not marketing by bitching about your competitors.
Anyhow - church was interesting, boring and full of ducksbums staring at my noisy children. Seriously it was funny when almost 3yo Safi put her hands over her ears and said the music is tooo noisy. (she didn't appreciate the organs)
Anyways it will prolly be another 20 years before I step back again!
BTW BACK is still playing up. Had massage last Wed and this morn. I really really want it to be good again My exercise has stopped and I can feel myslf getting chunky :0(

*nah* headache.....:0(
The stress of all this at work is just getting me down and physically. My back after moving chairs last week for DC is no better. I have a serious headache today and need an afternoon nap.
On the way home I stopped at Geenas in Brighton - and got a quote for my hair and I am booked in to do it on Wed in 2 weeks time - I will look hot..gotta do something to cheer me up.
I dont know why its all getting to me. I felt so good last week after the EAP but now I feel like its all too overwhelming. Because of my back I haven't been able to regularly walk/run for 3 weeks and its really really shitting me. I am hopeful it should be back on track next week because its making me feel really down. its very hard to be optimistic at the moment....I have done no readings this week for uni cause I feel like shit....*nah* over it.

Acid rain...
The stain on the carpet - acid rain - from the airconditioning mechanic. got someone coming in to look at replacing the carpet and lining in stairwell at work.
Been dealing with the NZ issue - the person involved JW - has been constructing his own interpretation of the truth - yet when the Mgr involved is backed 1000% and my involvement professionally is questioned I have to wonder why the backing isn't extended when I was doing my job, and doing the organisation a service.
I am not enjoying my job.
I am worried though if I leave, who will manage my team and how will they be looked after?
I am going to start looking/applying slowly for HRM roles. But why would a HRM leave ? Will I be jumping into a similar position? Is it better the devil you know..should I put up and whinge for a payrise and just cop it...
I feel shafted. only with no flowers or dinner first.
