True...

with that - but how would he find out? And even if he does, he *owes* you that much at least.

Thta'll be money well-spent, though, right?

Yeah, and I'm so sick of a single bed. I want a queen!

He won't see it that way But I don't care. He did backtrack when I reacted to his asking for it back, and said that if I did sell it to make sure I got a good deal. It'll annoy him, but he probably won't say anything.

Yeah, I've spent *FAR* too much on my DVDs (at least 5 - 10 grand) to lose them now.

Here's hoping.

Make sure to insure them!

I'll have to go look at beds here, see how much they cost.

Yeah, definitely.

Can't you check bed stores in Oz via the web?

Yeah, but I'll want to lie on them here, then see if I can find one I like and maybe order it.

Ah. Good point.

I kinda like the idea of getting rid of my stuff. I don't much like clutter, even though I'm always surrounded in it. And I'd rather do without stuff til I can afford to buy good things that will last for ages.

Except for the *good* stuff, of course.

But it can be refreshing, yes.

Yeah, I'll be keeping the things that are important to me, of course.

So, any other plans for today, apart from calling Oz?

I have to remember to hand in an assignment - luckily I finished it on Saturday. And now that I'm caught up, I should finish a paper that's due on Friday, so I don't get behind again.

I handed in my notice yesterday. It's kinda sad, I was making friends there. We had fun at work yesterday, we finished our work 3 hours early and helped other people with their jobs, and when all of them were done Toni and I rode around on jiffies (http://www.asedeals.com/3900a.jpg) and hid in ULDs (big plastic boxes) until the last three ladies were finished and then cleared the mail in record time so we could leave 45 minutes early.

You know, there's this new thing that you can use to stay in touch with people, even from the other side of the world...

Yeah. But it's not really the same. I had a giggly day yesterday, I haven't had one of those in years.

Glad you did.

Yeah, me too.

Nothing like mirth to cheer you up...

That's kinda the idea, I think And Toni and I will keep in touch.

There's another woman there, who is so unbelievably stupid and lazy. She only works one day a week, and she complains the whole time, and continually asks if she can go home. Everything she does, she does wrong. We have no idea why she's still employed. My team leader asked me if he could strangle her last week I told him please do Yesterday she walked past me and said 'snob!' We laughed about that for ages. She's always going up to other people and asking them if they like so-and-so and calling people names and stuff. And this is from a woman who literally can't figure out how to turn on the lights in the restroom. I mean that

You meet the weirdest people...

Yeah. She's good for comic relief though Before she decided I was a snob she used to keep asking me to go with her to church. I really don't look like a churchy person She's just really annoying to work with though. We've timed her, if we're doing the same job, she will do on average one third of the amount of work anyone else does in the same time. And none of the team leaders want her, so she's always getting moved around.
