Climb A Tree

Okay I've been back for a few days now. Almost a week actually. It's been good. I haven't done much. I've been a little bit tired. I didn't get any sleep on the plane. We had the worst seats possible. I think. It was a 747. The seating configuration went a row of 3 a row of 4 then another row of 3 on the other side. Tony and I had the middle 2 seats in the row of 4. It was the pits. I hated not being able to get up and have a walk around. It meant that I had to drink wine instead of beer.

After the plane ride we got through customs pretty quickly and before I knew it I was home and saying hello to Ria. It was good to see her again.

I brought home some presents for some people. My brothers think that I am a devo because I brought them back some figurines and some anime porn. It's not porn. It's a cultural artefact. And everything rude is whited out anyway.

So yeah, that Thursday I just hung out with Ria. We went and ate some Greek food in the afternoon which was wonderful. There was a lot of it.

Friday was my triumphant return to work. Well, I guess you could call it that. They hadn't been having the greatest time while I was away. Do you remember how we had been hiring some new staff? Well, I was a little concerned on the way in to work as I couldn't remember their names. It didn't matter in the end though, as none of them actually started working for us. Which sucked. Apparently there was a few different reasons, but they were all crappy reasons. I don't know what the story was, but it's disappointing. I had some really high hopes for those girls, and they let me down. Now we're halfway through the first term and we still don't have 2 group leaders. If anybody knows someone who has a diploma in child care and is looking for full time work, then let me know!

So that was a bummer.

It was good to see the kids again though, and nice to see most of the parents again. Apparently some of the parents have been causing mischief in my absence so it will be good to sort them out now that I'm back. The other good thing about getting back to work was that it was only for one day and then it was the weekend. Just easing myself into it.

Friday night we headed off to Nanna's for dinner. It was a roast and it was great. Nanna certainly does know how to do a good roast. I had bought some lollies from Japan so we ate them. I didn't know what they were when I bought them. They weren't the best ones I've had. They kind of looked like little blocks Selley's No More Gaps and they were very chewy.

After dinner Ria, Erin and I headed up to 152 for a while. It was very loud there. I was talking to some blind dude who was really drunk. I think that he was lying to me. He was saying that he had a master's degree in law and that on Saturday morning the board that he was one of the directors of was getting together to discuss something about constitutional law. And then he told me that he was in property law. And then he told me that he had defended a pedophile once. I don't think that it's okay to lie just because you have a handicap. I could be wrong though. Maybe he is all of those things. Anyways, I thought that the music was too loud, and I think that the blind guy's dog thought that it was too loud. So I left.

Next day I managed to waste a whole heap of time on the internet. I don't really know what I was doing, but I was on this thing for like 7 hours straight. It was ridiculous. I was reading a little bit about the nu-rave movement and things like that. I did watch a 3 minute kiss between 2 porn stars on YouTube. You should check it out. It's not devo material at all. It's very tasteful.

I gotta roll. My work here isn't done yet though.
