July 14th, 2006 02:00 pmUpdates eh. Stuff happens to me, but somehow I don't write about them. Recent happenings include:
* Visit from parents last weekend. Spur of the moment plan to get together to watch the Wimbledon finals at my place. Dad bought champagne and we had that with strawberries and cream. It was a really nice weekend actually.
* Chat with my boss at work resulting in promise of bonus for me at end of quarter! w00t!
* General announce by my boss that we're moving to another room where I will be able to sit with my screen facing the wall. Also yay.
* Failing to find any trace of my old address book that I thought I had backed up before my harddrive died last year and consequent failure to pass it to Caption folks :(
* Rediscovered a short play I wrote when in my first year. Not terrible, actually, but not actually what one would call good.
* Feelin' good about that whole SB admin thing. The last month or so, I've really felt like I had it under control. Now I need to kick some of my training projects up a gear.
* Visit to Beanwood with Brownies where the girls were all really well behaved and then visit to cricket match/party with Sadie. As last year, watched penultimate Dr Who ep and was unimpressed. Also enrolled 4 new Brownies. As of September Brownies will be all girls we've enrolled, which seems kind of cool.
* Girls night. Fantastic. Booze and talk and much good cheer and good companionship.
* Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest. Not as good as the first one. Too much plot, too much drama, not enough fun.
* Macbeth on Headington Hill: Not too bad. Didn't like the witches at all. Good MacBeth. Lady M started over the top but got much better.
