Rumours

Oh no!! I've just heard that there's rumours flying around about me and a work colleague. A group of us went out for drinks last Friday and he and I ended up last people standing. Apparently there was an "incident"...THERE WAS NO INCIDENT!!!!!! Actually, there was a minute where he took my phone off me and spoke to my mum. And another when he fell out with me cos I told him he laughed and talked like Seth Rogen (the actor)...which I personally think is funny cos I love Seth's laugh....but oh no, it wasn't a compliment...that may have been the "incident", but something tells me this "incident" wasn't of that variety!

I don't even know where it's come from! Honestly - can two work colleagues not go out anymore without rumours going flying! It's so frustrating! And of course, the more you deny it the more people don't believe you!

Grrr!!

My (spiritual) twin, Jules, and I came up with the most awesomist of ideas. We met quite randomly about a year ago and I can quite honestly say she has become my rock. We are so alike that it scares me sometimes, so it came as no surprise to find out that she loved to sing and had the most awesomist (i'm seeing a trend with this word) voice.

Sooooo....we decided to set up a separate page to "showcase" some songs we have recorded on our pc. For no other reason than to have an outlet for something we both feel very passionate about, the page can be found here. Please feel free to comment/use and abuse as much as you want.

I left my church today. Without going into much detail about it, God has to have a serious talking to some "holy" people. Although I have not been directly involved in the reason behind leaving, I do consider myself to be loyal so could not possibly stay after what happened. Please consider me in your prayer time. Not just for me, but for my sister and her family too. Guidance is much needed. Although I do feel that this is meant to be happening, it is a scary prospect.

I have been reading all about your Calling, and Jesus passing by you. The book is entitled If You Want To Walk On Water, You Have To Get Out Of The Boat. It's all about how when you are being called, you have to have the courage to take that first step to stand side by side with Jesus. I do believe that what is happening here is meant to be happening, and I can't wait for the second act, but scary still the same to be out of your comfort zone.

So, enough about that. It is blowing a gale in my home town just now. Being in an attic, everything is much louder, and I do believe that the roof is about to be blown off! I think I have a fun night of not-sleeping ahead. On the plus side though, it's Christmas in a few days and I only have to work Monday and Tuesday next week! Then i'm off til next year, yay!!

Some good news amongst this doom and gloom of a blog...I was offered my job permanently, so starting from January I'll be a permanent employee of Rybka (the company I work for)...yay!!!

I'm just posting a message to say that I don't have anything to say!

Ummm...yeah!

I fought my way along the street to find that my wee roof fitter's van wasn't parked outside today, so he must've moved onto pastures new...farewell to thee, you will be missed. Gutted. Truly gutted. His van has been replaced by a joiners van, it's just not the same!

I remembered my mp3 player today AND my book, so yay! I was listening to Starfield this morning. They are a canadian (i'm pretty sure) christian band who play awesome tunes. I saw them a couple of years ago at a big christian festival called Frenzy, and they are going to be back at the festival again next year - to which I have a ticket! Yay!! Anyway, I would recommend their latest album (called I Will Go) to everyone. Of course, the songs are in my head now and I have been singing "Remains" since I came into the office, which is unfortunate for everyone here as they regard "people like us" as crazy christians, and being into that Jesus thing. It's a shame as they are missing out on such a huge thing, but i'm praying about it and if I keep nudging Jesus into their lives little by little, a miracle may happen.

Ok, must attempt to do work now.

My alarm never woke me up this morning, no siree, it was my phone telling me I had a text message from my australian friend (who I am going to stay with in March) asking me what time it was (honestly!) and whether I was able to talk. Although I appreciated the gesture of wanting to talk to me, it was 4.30am and I was slightly worried. So I phoned him on my way to work. G'day was his salutation to me. Stereotypical. All was well, he seemingly just wanted to chat (most unlike him), so after reminding me it was 30 degrees over there and he was about to go swimming in his pool, I trudged on through the wind and rain to the bus stop. His 4.30am wake up call must've put me on the right note, as it wasn't until I had sat down next to random stranger to share personal space with, I realised that I didn't have my mp3 player with me, NOR did I have my book. Great! I resorted to texting my friends, and in turn being their personal alarm clock (you can pay me later).

Lucky for me, as I strolled onto the street where I work, my roof fitter's van was back again from yesterday...and so was my little roof fitter (yay!!) So i've had a fun day of exchanging glances...is it so wrong that the wee gadgey is growing on me. The terms "wee" makes me think that he is not very tall, but he's taller than me. That reminds me of a saying i say to my friend (who has a thing bout dating men that are shorter than her)..."Tis better to have loved a short man, than to have never loved a tall". Hahahaha that cracks me up!

I've just had a meeting with my so-called work and they have "advised" me that i'm not going to be offered a contract (i'm a lowly temp at the moment) until after xmas...which means I won't get paid for the period in between xmas and new year. I am completely getting screwed over and there's nothing I can do about it. The agency are avoiding me like the plague and it's 3 months until I set sail (or rather, wings) for oz-land. Great!

But on the plus, I have my mental health. Oh and my roof fitter. And my cat. I'm sorted in life, right!?

Tuesday 16 December 2008

So, today started out pretty rubbish. Definately coming down with the flu and woke up to the sounds of my mother shouting "Rhooonnnnaaaaa, wakey waaakeeey". I'm not a morning person at the best of times, but to wake up to that, is grrr annoying! Ok, so it is her birthday today, but since I am so completely and utterly unorganised, I was hoping to not see her so I could get her a present today. No.Such.Luck. So now not only am I being called really grumpy, I'm now also the "bad" daughter.

Today, I have a multitude of non-matching colours on. I have a lovely purple top on, my black trousers and my bright red high heels. Yes, I am a fashion disaster. The shoes and the top are new purchases, and I'm like any big kid who has new clothes...we want to wear them all straight away! This morning when I was dressing I was still half asleep, so it wasn't until lunch time when I went to the toilet for the first time that I noticed that my boobs look GINORMOUS with the combination of my black bra and new top. I'm not just talking huge, i'm meaning immense! I'm so taken aback by them that i'm quite impressed (after the initial mortification wore down)!

In my office I sit next to a window which looks out onto a busy main street. This is quite a distraction at the best of time, never mind when i'm quite bored and want to avoid doing work! The building next door is currently being renovated (I work in a row of big georgian buildings) and we have quite a few builders walking in and out all day. Today there has been a van sitting outside my window all day. For the whole of the morning (up until 1pm) there has been two lads sitting in it. I pointed out the fact that they had been sitting all day to Rosie, our receptionist, and I swear it was like one of the lads heard me because right as I started talking about them he looked right at me. So I looked away, and when I looked back he was still staring. I swear he had a microphone or some kind of sonic hearing thingy...unfortunately for me, I must've caught his eye (or my big huge boobly wooblies!) and he's been staring at me all morning.

Soo...to make myself feel less like i'm in a goldfish bowl and more in my comfort zone I have been munching on flying saucers (you know, the wafer sweeties with sherbert in the middle) so now i'm as high as a kite!!

Anyhoo, best get on with my internal auditing.....oh how fun my life is!!!!

Virgin

Woohoo!! My very first blog! Well, a blog that is not a diary stashed under my big pile of paperwork or pillow so that my mum won't try to find (yes, she is that nosey!)

Welcome to the world that is the randomness of Rhona! Most of what I will write will probably make no sense, but hey, it makes sense to me and that's all matters...ummm...hence the randomness.

So consider yourself warned!!
