birthday

happy belated birthday to me. *grins* a belated post..

On the actual day I was just working, and after work had snacks in the library. Then went to an internet cafe for the third time in my life to locate patrick (level 50 something on his game) and assisted him in killing time before jim, janey and he went out on their Friday night things.

A week later, i celebrated by having dinner at Chedi (formerly called Thailand) at Newtown. We sat on cushions and I was the only one to exclaim every so often that my legs were aching. The food there was okay - I liked the grilled chicken and the vegies with peanut sauce, oh and i liked the fish souffle in coconut milk as well.. thinking about it is making me hungry..

I had a lot of fun -mm trying to think of some highlight moments such as wendy spraying foundation on judy's face and everyone gasping and waving the plumes of foundation away from the food..

After this, patchouli and i joined jim et al at karaoke. Some strange moments there. Then Nat and I went to scary canary.. i'd never been there as a club. strange place. We managed to jump the queue when i went up the bouncer with my bags of left over cake going 'pleease..can you do something about this line, my friend and i have waited for ages'. Red rope was raised.. then nat haggled for an entry discount.. and please, i don't want to drink Jaegermeister ever again..

I haven't been out for a long time.. so my brother was calling my friends at 2am seeing where i was. *blush* *laughs*~~

Then saturday I made it in time to scribe and then I went to mind a table at marigold. That was at 1pm. Jim and janey came at like 2:15. He should eat more and get more meat on them bones! Then we went to watch Borat. (oh dear..) The vulgarity in the humour was a bit over the top for me. but it had some parts that i didn't mind. I wonder if the first equestrian animal on the movie was a donkey.. seemed like a horse.. but maybe it was a donkey.. gee.. i dunno..

After i returned home, i just switched off. then i woke up with aching pains in my neck. *grins* how silly..

Then yesterday i received a call from gabe telling me he'd come by to drive us to the beach. So off we went. now i have a tan line - a wet suit tan line.. and not being a strong swimmer, being tossed by non-stop waves and continually dragged by the surfboard and gabe giving looks of ever patience and yet impatience to hit his own big waves, I gave up.

I did try swiming out and after about 20 stokes got really tired and then all the big waves got to me. I went to lie on the sand.

gabe said "I've never seen someone give up so easily" Gabe it was dangerous!!! I can't even see properly *grins* It's kinda fun to be tossed by waves IF you remember to take a big breath in..

Oh - mental note - the keys to home are in the boot of his car.. (argh!)

Gen Y

I am starting to see more and more of the power tripping attitudes of Gen Y students. Sure, I'm one of them, but have had a very sheltered upbringing. When something is "closed" - it's closed, you go away and think of what you can do with the time before the thing is open. When something is "full" - it's full, and you consider what alternative you have.

I'm sicking of having prolonged arduous conversations with people who seem to think they will get something because they've asked. When you ask - you gamble - the answer is yes or no - so never invest completely in a yes. Today I opened a door for a student just to tell her where she could get a stapler. Simplicita? If you need a stapler now and did not have one, would it be the end of the world? But under certain policies including insurance, people can't come in and do as the please when it is outside of opening hours.

I pointed out to her that using her time in this manner was more costly than just going to somewhere where there is a stapler and her friend (local student. boy, first year) accused me of abusing a position of power.

Other staff has just pointed out that these people are those trying to go on a power trip - oh the world revolves around them. screw rules, screw you, you're in my way and preventing me from getting what i want.

I'm just rambling on about it because i don't understand.

We, each of us, always try to get what we want but honestly having a 19 year old boof and say you're stepping over the line when they clearly are the ones stepping over the line. Gosh, did they get dropped as a baby...?
