Kilt Dress

Yesterday was a massive day. It was also a Wednesday. It was the day after a lunar eclipse.

So the buildup to the massive day was nice. Tony came over. We had some pizza. Watched Australian Idol and checked out the red moon in the ad breaks. It was good.

Wednesday morning and things were going well. I had a couple of meetings coming up during the day, but I was able to get most of the work done that I wanted.

I headed out at 10:30 to drop off some accounts, do the shopping and have a talk with my Dad. I was kept waiting for a while, but I managed to drop off the accounts and talk with my Dad. The talk went okay. Apparently when he says that he'll support me with any choice I make, he actually means any choice that I make that he agrees with. I don't think that he realises that there is a difference.

I missed out on doing the shopping, but that's okay, there's plenty of stuff in the cupboard for the schoolies to have for afternoon tea.

Lunch time came, lunch time went. No lunch. Bummer. I did get my hands on some sandwiches later on though, and they were good.

In the afternoon I was attending a meeting with the Department of Child Safety. It was a pretty heavy meeting. I don't think that I'd like to have a job with them. Trying to figure out action plans and things like that is not much fun. I guess there would be a reward. But I don't think that it's for me. It was a very heavy atmosphere.

After the meeting I returned to the centre. It was still standing, but things had gone a little hay wire. There was a little girl who were looking after for just the afternoon who started dropping f bombs. Apparently she was dropping them from a great height as well. I had no idea. Every time I've spoken to her she has always seemed like such a sweet little thing. When I was talking with her later in the day she was her usual self. I couldn't believe it.

Getting staff together has also been a tough task this week. We had originally organised someone from an temping agency to come for about 3 weeks. Then one week into it I thought that I had found a permanent employee. So I told the agency person not to come in. Then the person that I had tried to employ stiffed me. She gave me some bullshit reasons.

The really annoying thing here is that she rang me looking for a job. I was doing her a favour.

And yeah, Wednesday was a big day.

Probably the icing on the top was that I cooked for Ria for the first time in our 18 month relationship. I gave it a solid C+. It could have been better, it could also have been much much worse. I mean, it could have had some kransky in there!
