grumbling and moaning

[erilyn]

I'm a bit blah and cranky and stressed at the moment, mostly just work (it's not bad, just fairly exhausting and stuff) and being busy and ARGH. Having a very limited social life lately (ok, for months) doesn't help, but that's my own fault.

Can't wait for the Panic/Academy/Cobra concerts next week (and FRIENDS AND FANGIRLS AHOY!!!), but on the other hand, there's a bunch of stuff I need to get done before then. My life, so hard blah blah blah. I think it's good timing that I'm finally using a gift certificate that I got from my brother and s-i-l for my birthday (6 months ago!) for a massage on the weekend :)

Probably not helping the crankiness is that I haven't got to the gym all week, I've been so tired after work. I'm definitely going Saturday morning, before the massage, and I might try and go again Sunday afternoon.

Okay, an interview where the participants are just being asked either/or questions should not be this adorable and make me grin like a loon - Cash and Singer. But I'll take the cheering up I can get :)

Tell you what else was awesome - watching the women's 4x200m freestyle relay live on tv today, at lunchtime. What a fucking amazing race from the Aussie team.

Hey you, ilu. ♥ I hope that work gets better.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I just never feel on top of things, I don't want to be new, I want to know what I'm doing. Just feeling tired and grizzly, but thankyou ♥

*hugs forevers*

[i-naiad.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm in.

Does that help? *g*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

YAY!!! It makes me very happy indeed :D

[i-naiad.livejournal.com]

Then my job here is done. Back to panicking about the essay due tomorrow.

I'll deal with ticket purchasing then too - there's a lot on eBay still.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Good luck with the essay!

Speaking of next week, have arranged things so I have some free time while you're here. \o/

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I wish I had more time to hang out :(

I'm staying at Metro Hotel Tower Mill on Wickham Terrace (right near the hospital there). My flight gets in at 3:30pm, so I hope to be there and checked in by 5pm (maybe a little earlier if I don't have to wait too long for a train from the airport). i_naiad and I need to catch a 6:20 train from Central to go out to the Ent Centre.

Wanna hang out at the hotel bar, or somewhere else even closer to the train station?

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Sure. And because I'm 'working at home' on Thursday, did you want to maybe grab some breakfast/brunch before you go?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Alas, my flight is at 9am, so I'll be catching a train about quarter to 8.

I had no idea what my work situation was going to be when I booked for this concert in April, so I wanted to minimise time I'd need off work, just in case. And it's turned out to be a good idea, since I'm still so new at my job (and I had last week off too). I'm only taking 1 day off this way (Wed afternoon and Thurs morning - I'm going straight to the office when I get back to Sydney).

Though I could play fannish matchmaker - one of the people I'm sharing a hotel room with is shihadchick and she is awesome and a huge U2 fan ;) Her flight is in the middle of the day I think. (My other roomie, jocondite, is also awesome!)

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Heheh. shihadchick is a flistie of mine and we've already done some flailing on the subject.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Dude, I swear I looked at your userinfo and didn't see her, before making that comment /o\

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

LOL. I think she's on my U2 journal's flist.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Tricky >:p

I check train times from airport, and if my plane is running on time, and I get off it quickly etc etc I'll be at the hotel by 4:30, if not, 4:45 or 5:00. So take your pick when you want to rock up, and I'll text you once I'm on a train or waiting for one :)

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I'll try to get into the office early so I can nick off equally so. Are we just coming up to your hotel or did you want to go somewhere in town?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Might be easiest if you come to the hotel, then if we feel like it we can go somewhere else (or towards the station so I can grab some food).

I have no plans. And am completely not packed.

[lastrega.livejournal.com]

Coolness. See you tomorrow! You have my number.

[makealimb.livejournal.com]

HELLO. not_nele said I should friend you. And I listened? Haha.

Will I see you in Melbourne? :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

You did see me indeed :)

[makealimb.livejournal.com]

I know! Hellooo. :)
